Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our industrial fluid handling, safety, and measurement systems.
What are dry break couplings used for? +
Dry break couplings are used to safely transfer liquids and chemicals without spills or leaks. They automatically seal when disconnected, protecting operators and the environment.
How does a Chiksan swivel joint work? +
A Chiksan swivel joint allows flexible movement in hose assemblies and loading arms while maintaining a leak-free seal under pressure, ideal for fluid transfer in oil, gas, and chemical systems.
What’s the difference between wing unions and hammer unions? +
Wing unions use threaded hammer-style connections for high-pressure applications, while hammer unions feature replaceable seals for frequent disconnection. Both ensure tight, durable pipe connections.
Are Smith Meters compatible with modern flow systems? +
Yes, Smith Meters are designed for precise flow measurement and integrate easily with today’s digital monitoring and automation systems.
What safety standards apply to Enardo flame arrestors? +
Enardo flame arrestors meet API and OSHA standards to prevent flame propagation in tanks, vents, and process systems, ensuring maximum facility safety.
Does Arm-Tex provide Green Access & Fall Protection systems? +
Yes, Arm-Tex supplies Green Access & Fall Protection systems that provide safe access to tank trucks, railcars, and elevated platforms for loading operations.
How do dry break couplings improve operator safety? +
Dry break couplings prevent accidental spills by automatically sealing when disconnected, reducing exposure to hazardous materials during liquid transfer.
How often should Chiksan swivels be inspected? +
Chiksan swivels should be visually inspected every 3–6 months and pressure-tested annually to ensure seal integrity and safe operation.
