NovaFlex® Safety Breakaway Systems Safety Breakaway Couplings RS Breakaway Couplings, with 100 years of engineering experience are safety components used to prevent one of the most serious safety hazards in the loading process of fluid media: the unwanted and disproportionate tensile load on the fluid transfer hose line; caused, for example, when tankers and trains drive off too soon or by ships drifting. Such tensile loads can mechanically damage or even destroy both the connection points and the fluid transfer hose line itself, which could even lead to uncontrolled leaks of the media being...

Separation by Force Limitation ABV Series Safety Breakaway Couplings by NovaFlex® separate the fluid transfer line at a defined tensile load. Before emergency separation After emergency separation Closure by Valve Technology This should be selected with a sufficient safety margin below the load limit of the fluid transfer line, such as the maximum tensile load of a hose line. Three calibrated breaking pins, which connect to the coupling halves via a pair of flanges are used as the triggering elements. The centre flanged connection has no overlap, so tensile forces acting on the fluid transfer...

NovaFlex® Safety Breakaway Systems ABVS Series Emergency Cable Release Breakaway Couplings The Safety Cable - Traditional emergency release couplings with shear bolts are not ideal for every application because the strain is transmitted through the hose. With large diameters or high working pressures this can create problems with design or working tolerances. The cable release system can be set to a lower release limit, is more adjustable, and its operation does not depend on an excessive load but rather on a limit of travel. The Principle of Cable Release In the example of a loading bay with...

ABVL Series - High Flow ABVL Series is designed to prevent industrial accidents. For applications that require MAXIMUM FLOW, the ABVL style is the desired choice with up to “four times the flow of the ABV Series”. ABVL protects the hose or flanged systems such as pipes from high burdens, even in cases of non-axial burdens that reduce the breakaway force of a hose. After the separation, the valves close and prevent the medium from escaping from the hose and tube side, and in this way protect both people and the environment. The separation occurs in a controlled fashion via the specially designed...

NovaFlex® Safety Breakaway Systems ABVM Series Marine Safety Breakaway Couplings In Hose Applications - Spills over water are the most costly to remediate. Marine hose string Safety Breakaway Couplings act as a passive shutoff designed to specifically protect a hose string. Should a hose string be subjected to excess force for any reason, the breakaway separates stopping flow in both directions. Marine Hose String Breakaway These new breakaway couplings are designed for marine/ offshore applications, where the breakaway coupling is mounted between two hose lines. The couplings are proven to be...

ABVC Series The Breakaway Coupling for Cryogenic Media Even under normal circumstances, the process of loading fluid media requires a high standard of safety technology in the area of fittings. When the temperature factor is added to the mix, for example for cryogenic media, the requirements enter a new dimension. For low-temperature applications, RS ABVC breakaway coupling by Novaflex®, also supports RS safety standards for the unique challenges posed by cryogenics. Separation by Force Limitation As well as ensuring compliance with the corresponding leak rates, using our breakaway coupling offers...

NovaFlex® Safety Breakaway Systems Safety Breakaway Couplings by Novaflex® Providing the highest standard of safety technology to protect personnel, critical assets and the environment. All products by Novaflex® are warranted to be free from all defects in material and workmanship. It is impossible to test Novaflex® products under all conditions to which they might be subjected in the field. It is therefore the buyer and/or end user’s responsibility to test all Novaflex® products under conditions that duplicate the service conditions prior to installation. Prior to any application of the information...
