Safety Breakaway Coupling devices when used with loading arms are designed to separate (break) and seal both halves of the pipe in the event of a “drive away”, where a truck or rail car moves off with the loading arm still connected. The Safety Breakaway Coupling will separate at a predetermined load, both halves will seal the product to avoid significant damage to plant and the transport.
Typical use of Safety Breakaway Coupling is for safe transfer of Chemicals, Oil products, Compressed gases and Cryogenic LND products.
