ACHEMA 2012 - Couplings & swivel joints

Even under normal circumstances, the process of loading fluid media requires a high standard of safety technology in the area of fittings. When the factor of temperature is added to the mix, be it for superheated steam applications or for cryogenic media, the requirements enter a new dimension. For low temperature applications, RS Roman Seliger has developed a range of dry disconnect and breakaway couplings as well as swivel joints, which also introduces RS safety standards for the unique challenges posed by cryogenics.

Cryogenic media such as LNG, liquefied methane or even hydrogen are becoming increasingly important. A key safety consideration when storing and transporting cryogenic media relates to the safe handling of the interfaces during loading. For this reason, RS has expanded its range of dry disconnect couplings, breakaway couplings and swivel joints to include product series designed for these types of low-temperature applications.
