Efficiency
? Coupling / uncoupling during continuous operations under full system pressure
of up to 630 bar / 9137 PSI (depending on the coupling type)
? No need for a lengthy run-down or shut-down of the system
? Can be connected by hand i.e. without any tools or special training needed
Materials
? Sealing of NBR (Buna-N®) or optionally in FKM (Viton®) or also EPDM;
inside seals in FKM (Viton®) as a standard feature
? Standard steel test couplings
? Stainless steel V2A (1.4305 or AISI 303) and V4A (1.4571 or AISI 316 Ti)
available on request
Variability
? Pressure and temperature monitoring and control, venting and obtaining
of representative fluid samples possible with just one coupling version
? Conformity with ISO 15171-2 and fully compatible
with competitor products with slotted hose nipple (for SMK types)
Wear Resistance
? Improved wear resistance and stability due to
high plastic deformability of the zinc/nickel surface
? Resistance to all the usual pressure fluids
Operational Safety
? Up to 3,000,000 load cycles in the impulse test
(requirements of ISO 19879: 1,000,000 load cycles)
? Multi-part design with threaded nipple
(less of a hazard potential than with crimping)
? No automatic releasing of the metal protective cap from vibrations
in the system thanks to a vibration-securing O-ring
? Special design ensures secure, loss-free sealing
of the connection before valve opening
Wide Variety
? All the usual thread and sealing types available
? Knurled caps as standard
? Hexagon and plastic caps available on request
? Application-specific types such as natural gas versions
with DVGW specification as well as gas and fill versions
(for SKK types) available (Fill version only for gas uses)
