Petroleum Industry Dry-Disconnect Couplings: Spill-Free Fluid Transfer
Reduce risk, prevent waste and streamline every transfer. JHFOSTER, your partner in fluid containment, provides drip-free Control Devices Dry Link dry-disconnect couplings for critical petroleum industry transfer applications.
Common Applications for Petroleum Fluid Transfer
Key fluid transfer applications in the petroleum industry include:
- Loading and unloading tank trucks and rail cars.
- Bulk petroleum distribution and manifold systems.
- Pipeline operations and refining processes.
Essential Features for Demanding Petroleum Environments
Dry Link dry-disconnect couplings provide solutions to petroleum-specific challenges:
No Drips, No Spills: Automatic shutoff ensures secure disconnection without fluid exposure.
Low Pressure Drop: Butterfly-style shutoff and smooth bore maintain high flow for high-viscosity fluids.
Safety Interlocks: Mechanical interlocks prevent accidental opening when the coupling is not connected.
Environmental Protection: Drip-free performance supports U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) compliance and eliminates costly cleanups.
Standard vs. Keyed Couplings: Precision to Suit Your Operation
With both standard and keyed offerings, a reliable solution is available for your unique operation.
Standard Couplings: Ideal for secure, spill-free connection of hoses to tanks and equipment.
Keyed Couplings: Engineered for batch processing to prevent cross-contamination by only connecting matched pairs.
Durable Dry Disconnect Products for Petroleum Use
Dry Link couplings are available in a variety of material and seal options that will maintain reliability, even when transferring viscous oils or aggressive hydrocarbons.
- Housing: 316 stainless steel (standard) or Alloy 20 for aggressive fluids.
- Seals: Fluoroelastomer (FKM/Viton) is typically used for petroleum oils, hydrocarbons and lubricants.
- Sizes: Precision-engineered solutions are available in sizes from ½” to 4”.
