The only safety breakaway coupling, worldwide, with over 20 years of proven experience on cryogenic liquids.

The implications of a driveway incident on a cryogenic application are very serious. Not only is there a risk of cold burns from the liquid and gas, but also uncontrolled releases of oxygen can result in considerable fire damage and explosion. Releases of gases such as nitrogen can deplete the oxygen levels in the loading area, leading to asphyxiation of personnel.

Have peace of mind by installing the APC Safety Breakaway Coupling to help reduce these risks in driveaway incidents.

Testing and Cleaning for Oxygen Service

APC have comprehensive on-site oxygen cleaning facilities to ensure that the couplings are supplied in an ultra- clean condition as demanded by all industrial gases companies. Inspection is carried by ultraviolet light to expose any evidence of moisture, oil, grease, cleaning agents, flux or any other matter that may be present. All cryogenic breakaway couplings are rigorously pressure tested with nitrogen gas prior to tagging, packaging and despatch.
