SS 316L Quick Release Couplings (QRC)

About SS 316L Quick Release Couplings (QRC)

Stainless Steel 316L SS 316L quickrelease couplings are specialized connectors designed for the efficient and secure connection and disconnection of fluid lines The SS 316L alloy known for its low carbon content enhances corrosion resistance particularly against intergranular corrosion making these couplings suitable for demanding environments

Key Features

• Corrosion Resistance SS 316L offers superior resistance to various forms of corrosion including pitting and crevice corrosion especially in chloriderich environments
• HighPressure Capability Certain designs can withstand pressures up to 6000 psi approximately 400 bar ensuring reliability in highpressure applications
• Leak Prevention Many SS 316L couplings incorporate poppet valves that automatically open and close during coupling and decoupling minimizing fluid leakage
• Ease of Use Features like pushbutton locks facilitate onehanded operation enhancing user convenience and safety

Applications

• Chemical Processing Ideal for transferring aggressive chemicals benefiting from the alloys resistance to chemical corrosion
• Marine and Offshore Suitable for seawater applications due to excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion
• Oil and Gas Industry Employed in systems handling highpressure fluids and gases where both strength and corrosion resistance are essential
