Rail car loading arm is a kind of important fluid transfer equipment nowadays in petrochemical industry. It is mainly used for transferring the fluid such as various fuel oil, lubricating oil, edible oil, crude oil, heavy oil and other media between the pipe system and the rail car tankers.
Rail car loading arm is required to have enough length and moving space to ensure that the train can reach the requirements of no hook off and alignment, immersion oil loading and unloading.
It mainly consists of pipeline, swivel joint, spring or counterweight balance system, flange, vapor cone or seal cap, level sensor, vacuum breaker, drop pipe deflector, quick coupling, dry coupling, emergency break away coupling etc.
Equipped with loading platform, folding stairs and safety cage, overfilling&grounding alarm, batch controller etc to make the rail car loading arm into a complete loading system.
According to the products, models and requirements of customers, the operating modes could be manual, pneumatic or hydraulic etc.
Basic characteristics:
*It is suitable for loading/unloading operation on different condition, because of kinds of structures such as AL1401, AL1402, AL1403, AL1412, AL1413, AL1512, AL2503, AL2543, AL2513, AL2404 etc.
*It can follow the movement of the tanker in a definite range
*The balance type can be counterweight, spring cylinder, pneumatic or electro hydraulic.
*Variety of ancillary facilities are available for selection in order to achieve safe operation or environmental protection, such as overfilling&static alarm, batch controller, emergency break away coupling etc.
*Pipeline material: carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and aluminum alloy, PTFE lined, etc
*Nominal diameter: DN50-DN200 (2″-8″)
*Design pressure: -0.06Mpa-6.0Mpa
