Pros and Cons of Using Quick Release Couplings

Author: hostarticles | Posted: 11.06.2012

A device that works as a mediator between fluids and pneumatic valves to separate them from each other is known as quick release coupling. Minimizing the essential close valves, these couplings save time to a great extent. This device is mainly used for the industrial, military as well as various kinds of farm applications. However, recently the same device has been introduced to the field of aerospace application too. The several remarkable features of this device have made it quite popular among the clients worldwide. Aligning components is one of the most important jobs performed by this useful device.

Besides, helping to align components it can also prevent the twisting of hoses because of the excellent functional abilities that these quick release couplings possess. Because of its constant rotation capacity this device can never be used for joints and applications. However, the good thing about this coupling is that, no tool is required for them to get connected. The high quality couplings are straight through and leak proof. Previously these couplings are made of three materials – stainless steel, brass and aluminum. Now a new variety has been introduced in the market the material of which is Polyglass. There are some branded companies who offer these product produced by using their own tools and machineries.

Similar to this type of coupling, steel and groove coupling is also very useful. Besides being used for pipes, tanks, hose and tube tanks the steel and groove coupling can also be utilized for gases such as cooling water, chemicals and fuels. Though the purpose of using the couplings is huge but the weight of a good quality coupling should always remain light and easy to carry. Also it is a must for each and every coupling to become chemical resistant as much as possible. In order to make the couplings appropriate certain technical processes are followed.
