Safety Break-away Couplings
 Breaking Bolt Series

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.

     

How it works - before and after emergency disconnect

The SBCouplings, Safety break-

away couplings has three external
      

break bolts. In the case of axial ten-

sion all of the bolts take up the force
corresponding to the break force on
the hose with a safety margin.
SBCoupling before emergency disconnect
The safety break-away valve consists of two Non-axial forces concentrate the
halves, each with a valve that has a o-ring seal. tension forces more strongly on one
bolt, so that the safety break-away
coupling reacts in a natural way
to the reduction of the hose break
forces.
 

SBCoupling after emergency disconnect

When the SBCouplings separate, it allows the valves
to close. The two valves closes rapidly, minimizing
exposure to personnel and the environment.

installed within a hose string, where the coupling would have a
length of hose attached to both sides.

This coupling incorporates the same internal mechanism as our

Industrial couplings, but has additional external features that pro-
vide increased resistance to torsional and bending moment forces
which may be applied to the coupling, preventing premature acti-
vation in the unpredictable marine environment.

Typical applications include ship to offshore platform,

and ship to ship product transfer opertations.

 Cable release series

Safety Break-away coupling - Cable release series

General info
For safe transfer of all your
hazardous and non-hazardous products.

The Break-away Cable release series, is designed

     -
ated with drive away and pull away incidents .

The Coupling automatically senses an excessive load,

closes its valves and then permits disconnection.

Function
The safety break-away valve consists of two halves, each with a valve


 Y       ~

The valve remains constantly open under normal use.
     

The two halves of the break-away coupling only close when there is exces-
sive force, such as in a Road Tanker, or Rail Car drive away situation.

The release is executed by pulling out the locking bolts with the help of the
cable. The locking bolts hold the two pressure clamps in position which
press both casing halves of the SBCoupling together. A guiding pin set in
between serves the alignment of the locking bolts.
      

When the SBCouplings separate, this allows the poppets to close. Prod-
uct loss is minimized because of the two poppets close rapidly, minimizing
exposure to personnel and the environment.
