Klaw Marine Breakaway Coupling Manufacturer MBC Petal Valve Flip Flap Valve

MBC Petal Valve Flip-Flap Valve Klaw Marine Breakaway Coupling Manufacturer

Description
 
Marine Breakaway Couplings (MBCs) are essential safety devices that ensure safety in offshore oil and gas transfer systems. These couplings are designed to immediately separate two joined sections of transfer hoses in case of high tension or excessive load. The main purpose of MBCs is to avoid a potential environmental disaster by reducing the risk of spills and damage to the transfer system and the surrounding structures.
 
MBCs are of paramount importance in the marine industry. These highly-specialized couplings are typically installed at either the end of a pipeline, hose, or at a vessel’s manifold points. MBCs come in different sizes, configurations and can be customized to specific requirements, operating conditions, and transfer systems.
 
MBCs also incorporate a quick-release mechanism that is often remotely activated, allowing for rapid disconnection of the transfer system in an emergency. This vital feature ensures that, in cases of sudden high tension or excessive load in the transfer system, the MBC allows the system to separate quickly and safely.
 
Overall, the primary function of MBCs is to provide safety and security in offshore transfer systems to ensure that any potential risks to the environment, personnel, and equipment are minimized.
