There are a number of robust industries that use fluid and gas transfer for various processing or manufacturing applications. Examples like agricultural hydraulics, large electronics cooling, and industrial manufacturing plants are just a few of examples of where quick disconnect couplings are used for robust fluid and gas transfer. If you think you may require specific material choices, atypical sizing, or other one-off design features to meet your application needs, you may want to consider a custom option. Here are some of the top-reasons to choose custom couplings for your business needs:
While there are many ISO standard options available, some fluid transfer systems may work with abnormal sizing constraints, or jump sizes, when working with two pieces of equipment from different manufacturers. This may make it necessary to customize some or all aspects of the quick disconnect coupling design, to best fit the system without any risk of leaks or failure.
Any application that experienced extreme fluctuations in temperature may benefit from custom material and seal choices for their quick disconnect coupling. If you install an ISO standard option that cannot withstand your peak temperature levels, you could run the risk of a burst connection—putting your entire operation on stand-still for days, if not weeks.
Are you working with an exceptionally confined space? Multiple complex systems in close succession? The custom coupling manufacturer you choose should be able to help design the quick disconnect coupling around your exact application constraints, and create a turnkey solution that is unique to your business.
Fluids and gases can behave in a number of different ways. Depending on the chemical makeup, temperature, thickness, and flow rates—custom quick disconnect couplings can be built with a number of different materials, coatings, and seals.
The pressure in a fluid transfer set up is imperative to the safety of your operations. You want every quick disconnect coupling to operate within the application’s operating pressure, and at to have the ability to withstand up to 3 times the pressure at the system’s peak.
