Breakaway CouplingA
Breakaway Couplingis a passive device that is located between terminal pipe-work and flexible loading hoses used in the safe transfer of bulk hazardous liquids and gases, including cryogenics. The couplings are typically used in the liquid transfer between terminals and road tankers, rail tankers and ships. A
Breakaway Couplingis also used in ship-to-ship transfer as well as supply vessel to drilling platform / oil drilling rigs and off shore applications. The
Breakaway Couplingis designed to be the weak-link in the system so that in the event of the road, rail tanker or ship moves off while still connected the coupling separates and instantly shuts down the flow.
