Couplers
Ordinary quick-disconnect couplings can be a hidden source of leaks or spills.

They're hard to close, especially when their clumsy finger rings get caught under their arms.

Operators often have to hammer their arms down, sometimes breaking them in ther process. And once you do get them closed, they're likely to pop open unless you insert special pins or wire them shut.

It's a hazardous mess and a costly headache. But now there's a simple solution.
Swivel Joints

All OPW swivel joints are full bore schedule 40 construction with short radius elbows, except 6", 8" and 10" fabricated steel and stainless steel swivels which have long radius elbows. Ball bearing raceways and sealing surfaces in all swivels are precision machined and micro-finished to assure friction free operation and superior sealing characteristics. All steel and ductile iron swivels are painted blue.

Flow Indicators
Sight flow indicators provide a quick, reliable and economical way to verify the flow of fluids through industrial process lines. But when a sight flow indicator leaks, it can often force you to shut down the very process it was designed to protect.
ISO Rings

• An ISO-Ring consists of the following essential parts.

1) BODY
2) ASSEMBLY FLANGES
3) FLEXIBLE CYLINDER
4) CAPTIVE SENSING LIQUID
5) INSTRUMENT REMOVAL DEVICE (IRD)

 

The ISO-Ring consists of a sensing liquid "sandwiched" between a metal body and a flexible cylinder.

The process liquid, as it flows through the ISO-RING, exerts pressure against the 360° flexible cylinder.

The pressure is then transmitted by the sensing liquid through a port in the body, to the instrumentation.

THE RESULT: A clean, compatible liquid activated the sensing mechanism of the instrumentation.

The ISO-Ring is simply mounted between two (2) process piping flanges.*

* CUSTOMERS MUST SUPPLY GASKETS NEEDED BETWEEN ISO-RING AND PROCESS FLANGES
