Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime
Portuguese term or phrase: seio de expansão
1 - Os cabos deverão ser montados de modo que façam, o mais possível, percursos rectos e acessíveis.
2 - Deverão ficar abrigados da acção da água, afastados de fontes de calor, tais como caldeiras, tubos quentes, resistências, etc., e protegidos de danos mecânicos e acções químicas.
Quando não for possível instalá-los afastados de fontes de calor, deverão ser tomadas as precauções convenientes, tais como a interposição de materiais isolantes ou o emprego de cabos adequados.
3 - Os cabos não deverão ser instalados atravessando juntas de dilatação, a não ser nos casos inevitáveis, devendo a travessia ser feita empregando um ***seio de expansão*** de raio interno mínimo não inferior a 12 vezes o diâmetro externo do cabo.

expansion core / expansion shell


Explanation:
Please note the term "seio de expansão" is an invention of the author. There are only 4 occurrences in Google. It's not a technical engineering term, so the translation should simply express the same idea.

Expansion Fitting


Explanation:
Maybe?
What are expansion fittings used for?
Expansion Fittings accommodate for conduit thermal expansion and contraction to compensate for length changes due to temperature variations in exposed conduit runs. Expansion joints are required when the temperature change is greater than 25°F (14°C).
