Safety Shutoff devices are used for loading arms and are designed to separate (break) and seal both halves of the pipe in the event of a drive away, where a truck or wagon is moving with the loading arm still attached. The “Security Breakaway” will separate at a predetermined charge, both halves will seal the product to prevent significant plant and shipping damage.
Typical use is for the safe transfer of chemicals, petroleum products, compressed gases, and cryogenic LNG products.
