Hydraulic Quick-Release Coupling

DEFINITION OF THE PROJECT

• Development of a quick-release coupling for a loading arm 
  • Extremly short time line (no time for prototypes and tests) 
  • Complete new develeopment, no forerunner variants 
  • Completely virtual product development
• High pressure and large diameter 
• Breakaway charcteristics
• Compliance with regulations and standards (OCIMF) and
  acceptance by BV (Bureau Veritas)

CALCULATION

• General dimensioning

• Optimization in different simulation
• Design of the finished coupling

RESULTS

• Successful test runs at first go
