Industrial Breakaway Couplings are typically installed onto Loading arms and hose assemblies where at least one side is attached to a fixed point. Industrial Breakaway couplings are used to prevent pull away accidents, protect terminal and loading/unloading equipment and eliminate unwanted product release. The breakaway couplings has a diverted breaking point which will break at a determined break-load whereupon the internal valves will automatically close the valves on both sides hence the flow ceases. This will minimise down time, save money, equipment and the environment.
EWFM Specialise in Swivel Joints, Loading and Unloading Arms, Couplings, Breakaway Couplings, Filling and Emptying Equipment, Hose, Agitators and Mixers, Access Systems, Storage Tank Equipment and Aircraft and Helicopter Equipment for the Oil & Gas, Food and Drink, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Power Generation and the Defensive and Aviation Industries.
Main Features
Operates independently of shut off safety systems and furthermore a does not require any external power sources.
These are also easy to reset on site by one person with minimal tools and training.
In addition to the above they have a very high flow rate / low pressure drop.
Connections
ANSI or Din Flanged
BSP or NPT Threaded
Victaulic connection
Combinations of the above can also be achieved
Sizes
1″ to 12″
Materials
Aluminium or Stainless Steel
Seal Materials
FKM, EPDM, FFKM and NBR
Applications
The Industrial Breakaway couplings can be use in a wide range of applications such as:
LPG, Butane, Propane, CO2 and LNG.
They can be also used for Diesel, Acids, Jet A1, Alcohols, bulk loading and un-loading, road tankers and process product transfer.
Working Pressures
16 to 25 Bar (150psi to 300psi) 40 Bar / 600 psi versions available on request.
