  • Patent number: 10495238
    Abstract: A fluid sealing device for sealing an opening of an installation pipe in which at least a long object is installed includes: a flange configured to close the opening of the installation pipe, the flange having a hole through which the long object is made to pass, and the flange having a stop face that is continuous with and at an angle to an inner surface of the hole; one or more sealing members configured to be disposed on an outer periphery of the long object and configured to exert an urging force toward an axial center of the long object upon being compressed in an axial direction of the long object, thereby sealing a gap between the flange and the long object; and a clamping member configured to press the one or more sealing members toward the stop face.

  • Publication number: 20190066873
    Abstract: A power cable to be provided inside a steel pipe that is electrically connected to a reference potential node, includes 3 transmission cables, 3 ground buses making contact with outer peripheral surfaces of adjacent transmission cables and arranged at 3-fold rotationally symmetrical positions with respect to a center of the transmission cables in a cross sectional view, a binder covering the ground buses and the transmission cables, and a jacket provided to overlap the binder. The transmission cables have outer diameters to inscribe a first circle having a radius corresponding to a radius of a second, envelope circle of the power cable having a maximum radius inside the steel pipe, but excluding thicknesses of the binder and the jacket. The ground buses have outer diameters to project outwardly of an envelope closed curve of the transmission cables, but less than or equal to a diameter of the first circle.
