Camlocks are available with studded or weldneck flanges.
ANSI flanges are standard but other flange ratings, (DIN,
BS) are available. Special combinations such as spool and
size reducing couplers are also available.
Standard materials of construction are carbon steel or
stainless steel with a Buna O-Ring seal, although other materials
are available upon request. The units are zinc coated for
corrosion resistance. Various fluid compatible seals are
available, Viton, Teflon etc. Spiral wound gaskets are available
for cryogenic service. Camlocks are supplied with an actuating
wrench. A cover in aluminium or steel is optional.
One of the most demanding applications for Camlock Couplings
is on marine loading arms. Shown below is an 8" loading arm,
with a Rite weldneck Camlock mounted at the end, undergoing
testing. This arm will be used for loading Ethylene at cryogenic
temperatures.
