Various embodiments include systems and apparatuses adapted for acoustical insulation. In some embodiments apparatuses include a seal assembly for a conduit, the assembly includes a substantially inflexible collar member sized to form an axial seal around the conduit, the substantially inflexible collar member having a flange extending substantially radially and a substantially flexible axial seal member in sealing contact with the substantially inflexible collar member, the substantially flexible axial seal member including a first portion in sealing contact with a first face of the flange and a second portion in sealing contact with a second face of the flange, wherein the substantially flexible axial seal member and the substantially inflexible collar member maintain the axial seal around the conduit and permit axial movement, translational movement and rotational movement of the conduit relative to a conduit passage panel.

1. A seal assembly for a conduit, the assembly comprising: a substantially inflexible collar member sized to form an axial seal around the conduit, the substantially inflexible collar member having a flange extending substantially radially; anda substantially flexible axial seal member in sealing contact with the substantially inflexible collar member, the substantially flexible axial seal member including a first portion in sealing contact with a first face of the flange and a second portion in sealing contact with a second face of the flange, such that tile flange is positioned between the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member,wherein the substantially flexible axial seal member and the substantially inflexible collar member maintain the axial seal around the conduit and permit axial movement,translational movement and rotational movement of the conduit relative to a conduit passage panel,wherein the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member are directly attached to each other and permit translational movement of the conduit by allowing translational sliding of the flange between the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member relative to the conduit passage panel, andwherein the first portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member is located between the conduit passage panel and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member in an axial direction of the conduit. 2. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the substantially inflexible collar member is substantially circular and the flange is substantially circular. 3. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the substantially flexible axial seal member permits thermal expansion of the conduit. 4. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein an inner surface of the substantially inflexible collar member substantially complements the outer surface of the conduit. 5. The seal assembly of claim 1, further comprising: an adapter for mounting the substantially flexible axial seal member to the conduit passage panel, the conduit passage panel being sized to receive the conduit, the adapter being in sealing contact with one of the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member, the conduit passage panel having a hole therethrough larger than the substantially flexible axial seal member. 6. The seal assembly of claim 5, further comprising: a support member including a first and a second semicircular plate, each semicircular plate including a first part of a mounting system,wherein the first and second portions of the substantially flexible axial seal member includes a second part of the mounting system, andwherein the adapter includes a third part of the mounting system, the third part of the mounting system being complementary to the first part of the mounting system and the second part of the mounting system. 7. The seal assembly of claim 6, wherein the support member and the adapter each include materials having substantially identical coefficients of thermal expansion. 8. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member includes a first and a second semicircular plate mating at a first junction, and wherein the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member includes a third and a fourth semicircular plate, the third and fourth semicircular plates mating at a second junction, the second junction being orthogonal to the first junction. 9. The seal assembly of claim 8, wherein the support member and the adapter have a substantially identical material composition. 10. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the first and the second portions of the substantially flexible axial seal member each include a first semicircular section and a second semicircular section. 11. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the substantially inflexible collar member includes a first part and a second part, the first part mating with the second part in response to being in sealing contact with the conduit. 12. The sealing assembly of claim 1, wherein the substantially inflexible collar member includes a material of equal or greater coefficient of thermal expansion than a material of the conduit. 13. The sealing assembly of claim 1, wherein the substantially flexible axial seal member includes an acoustically-insulating material. 14. An apparatus comprising: a conduit;a panel allowing the conduit to pass there through; anda seal in sealing contact with the conduit and the panel, the seal including:a substantially inflexible collar member having a flange extending substantially radially; anda substantially flexible axial seal member in sealing contact with the substantially inflexible collar member, the substantially flexible axial seal member including a first portion in sealing contact with a first face of the flange and a second portion in sealing contact with a second face of the flange, such that the flange is positioned between the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member,wherein the substantially flexible axial seal member and the substantially inflexible collar member allow for thermal expansion of the conduit and maintain an axial seal around the conduit and permit axial movement, translational movement and rotational movement of the conduit, relative to the panel,wherein the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member are directly attached to each other and permit translational movement of the conduit by allowing translational sliding of the flange between the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member relative to the panel, and wherein the first portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member is located between the panel and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member in an axial direction of the conduit. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the substantially inflexible collar member is substantially circular and wherein the flange is substantially circular. 16. The apparatus of claim 14, further comprising: an adapter for mounting the substantially flexible axial seal member to the panel, wherein the adapter is sized to receive the conduit, the adapter being in sealing contact with one of the first portion and the second portion of the substantially flexible axial seal member, and wherein the panel has a hole therethrough larger than the substantially flexible axial seal member. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the support member and the adapter include materials having substantially identical coefficients of thermal expansion. 18. The apparatus of claim 16, further comprising: a support member including; a first semicircular plate; anda second semicircular plate, each of the first and the second semicircular plates including a first part of a mounting assembly,wherein the substantially flexible axial seal member includes a second part of a mounting assembly, andwherein the adapter includes a third part of the mounting assembly, the third part of the mounting assembly being complementary to the first, and second parts of the mounting assembly. 19.
