SS 316L Quick Release Couplings (QRC)

Product Description

Stainless Steel 316L (SS 316L) quick-release couplings are specialized connectors designed for the efficient and secure connection and disconnection of fluid lines. The SS 316L alloy, known for its low carbon content, enhances corrosion resistance, particularly against intergranular corrosion, making these couplings suitable for demanding environments.ï

Key Features:

• Corrosion Resistance: SS 316L offers superior resistance to various forms of corrosion, including pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments.ï

• High-Pressure Capability: Certain designs can withstand pressures up to 6000 psi (approximately 400 bar), ensuring reliability in high-pressure applications.ï

• Leak Prevention: Many SS 316L couplings incorporate poppet valves that automatically open and close during coupling and decoupling, minimizing fluid leakage.ï

• Ease of Use: Features like push-button locks facilitate one-handed operation, enhancing user convenience and safety.ï

Applications:

• Chemical Processing: Ideal for transferring aggressive chemicals, benefiting from the alloy's resistance to chemical corrosion.ï

• Marine and Offshore: Suitable for seawater applications due to excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion.ï

• Oil and Gas Industry: Employed in systems handling high-pressure fluids and gases, where both strength and corrosion resistance are essential.
