We specialize in dry disconnect couplings designed and developed for a more efficient fluid handling process. Our dry break fittings guarantee superior results that will improve your operations.
What are Dry Disconnect Couplings?
Dry break coupling, also known as dry disconnect coupling, is a type of fitting commonly used in fluid handling operations to ensure a dry connection. These are employed in applications where accidental spills and releases of liquids aren’t acceptable by slamming the poppets in the male and female pieces of the unit shut. A dry break coupler is also employed when the liquid value is too high to tolerate any spillage or loss.
Benefits of using dry break fittings:
- Reduce spillages to zero
- Less human error in transfer operations
- Combination of technical, safety, and performance
- Improved efficiency
- Better operational and fugitive emission management
- Cost-saving option for long-term use
In the oil and gas industry, using a dry break coupler is paramount during the bottom loading and unloading of fuel from road tankers. Fuel spills pose environmental concerns and health risks, so having a secure and dry connection is essential to eliminate any spillage risk.
