umbilical termination set, and method for forming an umbilical termination set

摘要

the invention relates to an umbilical termination set for terminating a cable or umbilical. the termination set comprises a plurality of umbilical elements extending from an umbilical and passing through a bulkhead plate. the seated ball element has a spherical body through which an umbilical element passes. the ball element is seated on a cup member which allows the ball element to rotate over a wide range of angles, allowing it to be aligned with the umbilical element without the umbilical element having to be manipulated or forced into position. the umbilical element can then be attached to the ball element that is supported by the cup member on the bulkhead. this allows the axial tension in the umbilical element to be transferred to the bulkhead.
