Anti-explosion cable gland is one of the equipment that is widely used in industrial environments and electrical systems. Choosing the size of the gland is one of the important points that must be taken into account when calculating the cable. The cable gland size table is available in different forms, which was discussed in the following tables to calculate the size of the cable gland.
Cable gland size calculation
PG stands for panzergewinde. In calculating the size of the cable gland in terms of PG, according to the diameter of the cable entering the panel, you can choose the size of different glands such as metal gland, plastic gland, etc., in this table you can find the suitable gland for the electric cable with a diameter of 3 to 54 Mm. Meter.
- Cable diameter
- Gland score

Types of tables for calculating cable gland size:
- Gland size calculation table in terms of PG
- Gland size calculation table in metric terms
- Gland selection table according to cable diameter or hole diameter
Gland size calculation table in terms of PG
PG stands for panzergewinde. In calculating the size of the gland in terms of PG, according to the diameter of the input cable to the panel, you can choose the size of different glands such as metal gland, plastic gland, etc., in this table you can find the suitable gland for electric cable with a diameter of 3 to 54 mm. Meter.
| Gland size | Cable diameter in mm |
|---|---|
| PG7 | 3 … 6.5mm |
| PG9 | 4 … 8mm |
| PG11 | 5 … 10mm |
| PG13.5 | 6 … 12mm |
| PG16 | 10 …. 14mm |
| PG21 | 13 … 18mm |
| PG29 | 18 … 25mm |
| PG36 | 22 … 32mm |
| PG42 | 30 … 38mm |
| PG48 | 34 … 44mm |
| PG63 | 42 … 54mm |
Gland size calculation table in metric terms
In the following, you can see a table in which the size of the gland is calculated according to the type of cable and the number of cable strands.
Gland cable is one of the important and widely used equipment in industrial environments. Also, anti-explosion glands are very important and widely used in high-risk and industrial environments. In this article, we tried to know the types of cable gland sizes and Cable gland size calculation.
