ARTA engineers made the first NATO dry disconnect in the world and have been in service with NATO since 1955. While we cannot cover all of the benefits, here are a few:
• Manufactured from SST bar stock, with no parts coming from low cost countries.
• Available in SST, Hastelloy, PTFE inserted, Full PTFE coupler, Duplex, and Brass.
• Available with proximity switches, digital selective coding, pressure relief tools, SST pressure caps, & plugs.
• Available in a variety of exotic sizes, as well as standard sizes.
• Units are designed to be fire and pressure spike resistant. Due to the rear loaded poppet, in the event of a pressure spike or a fire in the line, the poppet is seated so as to not be able to release the poppet. This means that product is retained and sends out no potential projectiles in the event of an emergency.
• Functional in vacuum and pressure lines to and from tank trucks, tankers, tanks and totes/IBC, connection stations, railcars, barges, hose racks, hose stations, and offshore operations.
• Suitable for high and low temperature applications.
• Durable construction reduces lifetime cost.
• Integrated swivel joint reduces torque.
• Coded fittings (optional) – prevents product mix-ups (when several connections exist in parallel).
• Fully customizable to accommodate almost all applications.
