Safety Break-away Couplings

Safety Break-away Couplings

Safety Break-away couplings are used to prevent pull away accidents, protect terminal and loading/unloading equipment and eliminated unwanted product release. The break-away couplings has a diverted breaking point which will break at a determined break-load where upon the internal valves will automatically close on both sides. This will in a longer time frame minimize down time, save money, equipment and the environment.

The Safety Break-away couplings are available as Industrial and Marine type.

Features and Applications

Features

  • Passive security against situations where a hose or loading arm could be subjected to inadvertent excessive loads.
  • Design features are a simple mechanism and no loose components which could belost after release.
  • Operates independently of shut off safety system and does not require an externalpower source.
  • Easy to reset on site with one person High flowrate / low pressure drop
  • Very low loss, positive shut-off of both coupling halves results in minimum product loss.
  • Lightweight and robust design.
  • Available with ANSI/DIN flanges or threaded (BSP or NPT).
