Marine Breakaway Coupling Precision Manufacturing Coupling Guard Standards
Description
A marine breakaway coupling is an essential safety device used primarily in offshore operations or at marine terminals. It is designed to prevent damage and reduce the risk of spills or accidents during fluid transfer, especially in critical situations such as extreme weather conditions or excessive tension.
The coupling consists of two halves that are connected through a mechanical mechanism. These halves are typically installed between two sections of a hose or pipeline, where they act as a flexible joint. In the event of an extreme tensile force or sudden impact, the coupling will separate, preventing further stress or rupture along the hose or pipeline.
The breakaway coupling is equipped with multiple safety features to ensure reliable functionality. It is designed to separate at a predetermined force, ensuring controlled and predictable disconnection. Once separated, the coupling automatically seals both ends, minimizing fluid leakage and preventing environmental contamination.
