ASTM B317 / B317M
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers 6101 aluminum-alloy extruded bar, rod, tube, pipe, (Schedules 40 and 80), structural profiles, and profiles in selected tempers for use as electric conductors as follows:
1.1.1 Type BHot-finished bar, rod, tube, pipe, structural profiles and profiles in T6, T61, T63, T64, T65, and H111 tempers with Type B tolerances, as shown in the "List of ANSI Tables of Dimensional Tolerances."
1.1.2 Type CHot-finished rectangular bar in T6, T61, T63, T64, T65, and H111 tempers with Type C tolerances as listed in the tolerances and permissible variations tables.
1.2 Alloy and temper designations are in accordance with ANSI H35.1. The equivalent Unified Numbering System alloy designation in accordance with Practice E 527 is A96101 for Alloy 6101. Note 1 - Type A material, last covered in the 1966 issue of this specification, is no longer available; therefore, requirements for cold-finished rectangular bar have been deleted.
1.3 For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminum and aluminum alloys in this specification, see Annex A2.
1.4 The values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

Industry Interpretation of CE Marking Requirements
According to the Low Voltage Directive (73/72/EC) most low voltage electrical equipment must meet certain essential safety requirements before it can be sold in EU member states. All such equipment (except items which are purely components) must also be CE marked in accordance with Directive 93/68/EEC. To bear the CE mark, equipment must meet the essential safety requirements of the Directive, and the manufacturer or importer must maintain a file in which he keeps (amongst other information) details of how he can demonstrate that the products meet these requirements.
It is possible to meet the requirements by ensuring and demonstrating that the equipment is designed and constructed in accordance with those requirements. However it is easier if the product is “presumed to comply”. Such a presumption is made if the products are manufactured in accordance with harmonised European standard documents (of types EN or HD), or IEC standards (where no EN/HD exists) or National standards (where not yet published at European level).
At one time the definition of a “harmonised” standard in the context of the LVD was not the same as in the case of other “New Approach” Directives, where “harmonisation” is concluded only once the EN standard is listed in the Official Journal of the EU as offering a presumption of conformity with a particular Directive. In the case of the LVD, the EN standard became “harmonised” on publication at national level. This now appears to have changed so that the LVD works like other directives. There is now a nationally published European (EN) standard for cable glands (BS EN 50262:1999) which covers all cable glands which feature cable retention, cable sealing and metric threads.
The EU issues a Guide to the LVD and in this guide states quite clearly that cable management systems are included in the scope of the Directive as equipment. Coupled with advice received from both BEAMA and the DTI, the GMTC has for a long time adopted the policy that cable glands are both completely within the scope of the Directive and must be CE marked. The hierarchy of methods GMTC members adopt to meet the essential safety requirements of the Directive is therefore:

Search for Cable Glands by specification
Cable glands are typically single-cable bulkhead modules that allow barrier penetration while providing sealing and strain relief. They are sometime configurable to work with any cable within a specified size range. Important specifications to consider when searching for cable glands include cable diameter, mounting hole diameter, and adjustable diameter. The cable diameter specifies the diameter of the cable that can be fed through the cable gland. The mounting hole diameter refers to the diameter of the barrier or bulkhead hole into which the gland is to be installed. The adjustable diameter is the cable gland can be adjusted to fit various sizes of cable.
Common applications for cable glands include aerospace, cleanroom, fire protection, industrial, marine, panel or enclosure, power or utility, railway, and telecommunications. Aerospace cable glands are designed and rated for use on aircraft or space vehicles and/or equipment; may include applicable approvals for military and/or aircraft use.
Cleanroom cable glands are suitable for use in a cleanroom environment with the associated properties of maintaining positive pressure, prevention of dust and fluid ingress, etc. Fire protection glands are designed and rated for prevention of fire propagation across the bulkhead or barrier. Industrial glands are used in industrial environments such as factories, process plants, mills, etc.
Marine glands are designed for application on ships, offshore mining and drilling settings, or other marine applications.
Panel or enclosure cable glands are specifically designed and rated for penetration into electrical panels and/or electromechanical assembly enclosures.
Power and utility glands are designed for use with public utility equipment such as power transmission, distribution, and high voltage equipment.
Railway glands are designed for use on trains and associated installations.
Telecommunications glands are designed for used with communications cable or conduit. Choices for gland mounting include adhesive or compound, flanged or bolted, threaded or nut mount, welded, and cast. Materials of construction available for glands include aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and plastic.

Cable glands are typically single-cable bulkhead modules that allow barrier penetration while providing sealing and strain relief. They are sometime configurable to work with any cable within a specified size range. Important specifications to consider when searching for cable glands include cable diameter, mounting hole diameter, and adjustable diameter. The cable diameter specifies the diameter of the cable that can be fed through the cable gland. The mounting hole diameter refers to the diameter of the barrier or bulkhead hole into which the gland is to be installed. The adjustable diameter is the cable gland can be adjusted to fit various sizes of cable.
Common applications for cable glands include aerospace, cleanroom, fire protection, industrial, marine, panel or enclosure, power or utility, railway, and telecommunications. Aerospace cable glands are designed and rated for use on aircraft or space vehicles and/or equipment; may include applicable approvals for military and/or aircraft use. Cleanroom cable glands are suitable for use in a cleanroom environment with the associated properties of maintaining positive pressure, prevention of dust and fluid ingress, etc. Fire protection glands are designed and rated for prevention of fire propagation across the bulkhead or barrier. Industrial glands are used in industrial environments such as factories, process plants, mills, etc. Marine glands are designed for application on ships, offshore mining and drilling settings, or other marine applications. Panel or enclosure cable glands are specifically designed and rated for penetration into electrical panels and/or electromechanical assembly enclosures. Power and utility glands are designed for use with public utility equipment such as power transmission, distribution, and high voltage equipment. Railway glands are designed for use on trains and associated installations. Telecommunications glands are designed for used with communications cable or conduit. Choices for gland mounting include adhesive or compound, flanged or bolted, threaded or nut mount, welded, and cast. Materials of construction available for glands include aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and plastic.
Common features for cable glands include firestop, explosion proof, EMI or RFI shielding, and pre-terminated cable accommodation. Firestop cable glands are designed to withstand fire propagation through barrier. Explosion proof cable glands are designed for some level of explosion safety. EMI and RFI shielding and associated grounding features are used minimize or eliminate electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Transits configured to accommodate cables with end connectors or terminations already installed; transit can typically be opened up to allow termination pass through and enable subsequent resealing.
