Camlock coupling

Camlock coupling

Camlock Couplings are used to quickly connect and disconnect large size industrial hoses and pipe connections. Camlock coupler is connected without separate clamps or bolts. Proper alignment of pipe along with good vacuum or pressure seal is assured. This can also be used with galvanized or stainless steel flex pipe, camlock couplers ensure the correct direction of bulk material flow, improving your vac's performance and minimizing pipe wear. The Size of camlock coupling is 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", 3", 4", 6". Camlock coupling is made up of body, handles, gasket and so on. As for the material of camlock coupling, there are aluminum, stainless steel, brass, polyporp, ductile iron, Ny-glass and Poly-glass. As for the working pressure, it is up tp 500 pis. The temperature of camlock coupling is from -40 oC to 450oC with properselection of body material and gasket. Camlock couplings is widely used for loading and unloading of tankers for water, petrol and chemical. Besides, it is also widely used in ships and atomic energy plants.

For the safety of camlock coupling, some precautions should be noticed. Firstly, connect camlock coupling under the low pressure. Secondly, match product to be conveyed with proper alloy couplings. Thirdly, pressure test hose assembly, prior to application, to ensure tight and leak free assembly of hose, coupling &clamp. Fourthly, fluidized dry products are more abrasive than liquids. In those applications, couplings should be frequently checked for excessive wear and replaced when necessary. Fifthly, pressurized media creates hazardous conditions. Tie-off hose ends to guard against accidental separation of lines and to prevent whipping or bucking of the hose. Last but not least, use handle locking devices.
