Category: petroleum
Function:
Summary: Designed to incorporate maximum safety, high flow, low-pressure drop, easy maintenance and offer a long service life. The simplicity of their design makes them ideal for oil companies and transporters of petroleum products.
The NEW Silea female semi-automatic Coupler series 05132105 is designed to achieve a quick and dry coupling, without loss of product, between a Bottom Loading Arm or a hose and the Male Coupler on a tank truck. The difference with the manual type is that the Coupler hooks automatically to the male coupler before opening the flow.
The coupler respects the API RP 1004 standards and can be used with all compliant couplers. Compared to the current semi-automatic coupler it has:
#A quick and safe coupling system with a larger contact surface of the teeth.
#Fluid passage section increased by 15% (higher flow rate for a faster loading phase).
#Usable even in the event of an increase in operating pressure.
#Renewed ergonomics thanks to the new handle, now equipped with a grip.
#Maintenance time reduced by up to 60%.
#The possibility of replacing primary seals without disassembling the coupler from the arm.
