 RISE® MULTI-CABLE TRANSITS:
THE RAPID® SEALING SYSTEM

RISE ® multi-cable penetrations:

based on high-tech ACTIFIRE ® technology
RISE® multi-cable penetrations are an
alternative for the casting compounds
and block systems used in fire-rated/
watertight bulkheads and decks.
Very easy to install.
Time saving, space saving, weight
saving.
The very limited amount of different
parts makes this system easy to handle
on site. Use is made of rubber inserts
(placed around the cables) and filler
sleeves. The FRR/LEHF (fire resistant
rubber/low grade of expansion, halogen
free) rubber of the sleeves expands 5-10
times its original volume when exposed
to fire. On both sides of the penetration
a layer of FIWA® sealant (fire resistant,
water repellent) is applied.
Only halogen free components.

RISE ® multi-cable penetrations:

ultimate flexibility, maintenance friendly
RISE® multi-cable penetrations offer
a most simple way of installation. No
precise positioning of the cables in the
transit needed.
The RISE® sealing system allows ca-
bles to be ducted through conduit ope-
nings in a bent, curved or oblique way
without any adverse impact on sealing
performance.

The RISE® sealing system gives easy

access to add or remove cables in a
later stage without the necessity to
disassemble the whole penetration.
Just cut away a piece of the FIWA® layer
at both sides of the penetration, pull the
cable through and refill the opening in
the sealant layer.
It is that simple!

gram available for calculating the size
of the conduit opening and the amount
of insert sleeves and sealant for each

Generally, multi-cable transits have
to be installed as tested. It will be clear
that a transit tested with only a couple
of small cables will not meet an A60
classification when fully packed with
heavy conductor cables. RISE® multi-
cable penetrations are tested with all
types of cables, from communication to
power cables with small dimensions, up
to cables with a dimension of 85 mm,
armoured and non-armoured, at full

The easiest way to pass a deck test
is to place the transit totally above

tions is to place the transits totally
below deck. And that is exactly the
way the penetrations generally are
installed! Cable penetrations should
be applied as tested. This means that
penetrations tested only above deck
should not be placed totally below
deck. RISE® multi-cable penetrations

have been tested with heavy conductor cables.
The length of the conduit could be minimized by
the use of the expanding sealant/rubber, which

For A-class penetrations the conduit sleeve/frame
needs to be insulated only at the insulated side of

RISE ® materials expand massively when

exposed to heat or flames

Generally, rubbers used for multi-cable transit systems are made of a more or less self-extinguishing
compound. The drawback, however, is that these rubbers will start charring under heat and slowly but
surely will shrink due to the loss of the water content in the rubber. Not with RISE ®!
The rubber starts vulcanizing when exposed to heat, forming a solid rubber mass inside the penetration
and an expanding char on all exposed surfaces.

Due to the high bonding strength and
flexibility of the FIWA® sealant, the pen-
etrations could be subjected to certified
pressures up to 2.5 bar (35 Psi) without
any leakage. Where rubber parts have
to be strongly compressed to obtain
water tightness, they will soon show
permanent deformation. Also, the cable

load and will creep. This is not the case
with RISE®. Tight stays tight, with no

What will the performance of a fire safe

at stake here. This is the reason why
the RISE® system has been artificially
aged up to 50 years, after which the

RISE ® cable penetrations:

non-toxic, halogen free components

For the RISE® insert and filler sleeves, a special rubber

compound was developed known as FRR/LEHF (fire
resistant rubber/low grade of expansion, halogen free).
When this rubber is exposed to fire or temperatures in
excess of 200 °C it expands five to ten times its original
volume. During the expansion of the rubber a carbo-
nized mass is formed, which has good properties of
thermal insulation.
The FRR/EHF rubber is absolutely HALOGEN FREE
(tested according to Naval Engineering Standard NES
713: Issue 3). Furthermore the FRR/LEHF rubber has a
low smoke index (NES 711: Issue 2: 1981) and a very
high oxygen index (ISO 4589-2: 1996).
The wall thickness of the sleeves is so chosen as to
satisfy the requirements governing adequate separation
of the cables.
Sometimes conduits are extremely oversized.
For ease of filling of larger remaining spaces the filler
sleeves 18/12 and 27/19 can be supplied as non-split
multi-units of 10 pieces bonded together.

In the event of fire or at temperatures in excess
of 200 °C the sealant expands to about five to ten
times its original volume. During this process a po-
rous mass is formed, which has excellent thermal
insulation properties. In contrast to conventional
materials that swell under severe heat exposure,
the expansion of FIWA® sealant is not caused by
intumescence, but by a chemical process (Intumes-
cence means the occurrence of volume enlarge-
ment under the effect of heat, caused by the surface
structure being inflated by fumes originating from the
product). The advantage of this is that the expansion
of FIWA® is not accompanied by formation of large
amounts of fumes.

THE RAPID® SEALING SYSTEM
The RISE® sealing system allows cables to be ducted through conduit open-
ings in a bent, curved or oblique way without any adverse impact on sealing
performance. Due to the fact that RISE® is an adhesive system, only proper
contact surfaces are needed to obtain tightness. Sufficient cable separation is
a must to enable the FIWA® sealant to be applied in between the cable set.

RISE® multi-cable penetrations are an alternative for the casting compounds and block systems
in water-tight walls and floors. Very easy to install. No skilled labour required. The very limited
amount of different parts makes this system easy to handle on site. Use is made of rubber
inserts (placed around the cables) and filler sleeves. The insert sleeves act as a spacer to sepa-
rate the cables and the filler sleeves are used to create a carrier for the sealant. They are split
lengthwise to enable ease of installation. The sleeves should not be applied in lengths shorter
than 60 mm and should fit snugly in the conduit opening. A layer of FIWA® sealant about 20
mm thick is applied on the resultant carrier.

 RISE® MULTI-CABLE TRANSITS:
THE RAPID® SEALING SYSTEM
The most simple way to obtain a watertight RISE® penetration is to place
insert sleeves with a length of 60 mm around the cables and to fill the re-
maining space in the conduit with 60 mm long filler sleeves. Then apply a
layer of 20 mm FIWA® sealant at both sides of the penetration.
Conduit length 100 mm. Tightness 2.5 bar. LRS certificate APE 0109113/1.

RISE® multi-cable transits are also used for water or gas tight conduits in buildings and con-
structions. When fire rating is not a requirement, the conduit length for only water and gas tight
conduits can be reduced substantially. With a view on ease of installation, it is advisable not to
use insert and filler sleeves with a length shorter than 60 mm. We always recommend to apply
a layer of FIWA® sealant about 20 mm thick on both sides of the penetration.
The above configuration with an overall length of 100 mm is approved for so-called B-15 penetra-
tions which offer a fire integrity of 30 minutes minimum and a thermal insulation of 15 minutes.
This means a fair degree of fire rating coupled with gas and water tightness.

The RISE® systems and/or components can be used in a wide variety of ap-
plications and can easily be combined with other product lines of BEELE
Engineering. This means that fire safe and gas and watertight ducting in
the field allows for numerous solutions. The configurations showed below
are all fire tested and offer with ease F-60 ratings.

At the top left a configuration is shown to use the RISE® system for the fire safe ducting of bus
bars through walls and floors.
At the top right a combination of RISE® and ACTIFOAM® is shown. This configuration is used
to fill larger open spaces in RISE® cable penetrations.
At the bottom left an ACTIFOAM® penetration is sealed with a layer of FIWA® to obtain not only
a fire rated but also a water tight penetration.
At the bottom right a NOFIRNO® cable penetartion is shown whereby the cable separation is
carried out with RISE® sleeves.

 RISE® MULTI-CABLE TRANSITS:
THE RAPID® SEALING SYSTEM
Existing installations can easily be upgraded to the RISE ® sealing system using
extension frames. Generally the depth of the transit frames is too short to offer
the required thermal insulation during a fire.
To fulfil this criterion for all types of cables a minimum depth of 200 mm is an
absolute must. Otherwise the transit and the front side of the penetration have to
be totally insulated. By making use of extension frames the required depth can
easily be obtained.

The advantage of upgrading with RISE ® is not only an improvement of the fire rating,
but it also gives the option to acquire more available space for ducting extra cables. The
extended RISE ® penetration filled with the same configuration of cables as tested with
the normal RISE ® penetrations and with the same sizes, has been successfully tested
according to IMO Resolution A.754(18) for use in both A0 - A60 class bulkheads and
decks. CE (MED) certificate No 09156/B0 EC.

 RISE® MULTI-CABLE TRANSITS:
THE RAPID® SEALING SYSTEM

Remove all block components from the transit frame, if any. Remove any dirt or grease from the inside of the
frame. Position the two halves of the EXTEND-A-FRAME around the bundle of cables, then push the EXTEND-
A-FRAME into the transit frame. The fitting must be very tight for stability reasons. The flanges on the top and
bottom of the EXTEND-A-FRAME must be firmly seated against the transit frame. Install the bolts and nuts on
the top and bottom flanges. Tighten the bolts on top and bottom flanges.

The flanges are 10 mm high, corresponding with the wall thickness of the block system transits. This enables
the EXTEND-A-FRAMES to fit in multi-transit units without any problems. The EXTEND-A-FRAME, positioned in
the transit frame, leaves 20 mm free at the back of the transit frame for the bonding of the FIWA® sealant to that
transit frame. This is necessary to obtain a tight seal. Place a RISE® insert sleeve around each cable. Any empty
space is filled with RISE® filler sleeves.

Center the RISE® sleeves within the conduit so as to leave 20 mm free space at the front and the back of the
transit. A 20 mm layer of FIWA® sealant is applied at both sides of the transit. Refer to the step by step installation
instructions for RISE® multi-cable penetrations for final finishing of the transit.
For optimum stability, the EXTEND-A-FRAME should be spot welded or bolted to the existing frame. For larger frame
configurations an option is to install a frame around the existing transit frame spot welded to the deck or bulkhead.

RISE ® instantly doubles the usable space inside any block system transit frame

For the EMC protection of cable penetrations entering shielded areas, an electrically
conductive sealant/flexible rubber is developed for the RISE® multi-cable penetrations
type EMC. Tests carried out in our laboratories have shown that the electrical resistance
from braiding to mass is about 1-2 ohm.
Attenuation tests at DELTA Electronics Testing/Denmark have proven the outstanding
damping properties of the RISE® EMC sealing system.

In case the penetrations have to be only EMC proof, the length of the conduit can be reduced
substantially. Only 40 mm CONDUCTON® putty/flexible rubber for the conductive filling of the
cavity in between the layers of FIWA® sealant can be used. The CONDUCTON® flexible rubber
is most easy to apply. The attenuation with the flexible rubber is the optimum; the attenuation
of the CONDUCTON® putty is less.
