It is used across a wide range of industries where spill\-free, safe fluid transfer is critical: \ \Petroleum and fuel transfer — tanker trucks, terminals, depots, service stations\ \Chemical transfer — including acids, caustics, solvents and corrosive media\ \Gas transfer — including LNG, LPG and compressed gases\ \Food and pharmaceutical — ASK\-FD variant for food\-grade applications\ \Mining and bulk liquid — bulk chemical and process fluid transfer\ \ The ASK\-C can be uncoupled while a line is still filled, significantly speeding up loading and unloading cycles\. Treloar conducted the first Australian trial of ARTA dry break couplings — read the \Australian ARTA dry break trial case study\\. \<\!\-\- HOW IT WORKS \-\-\> \How the ASK dry break coupling works\ The ASK\-C uses a single continuous rotating motion to connect — place the female coupler onto the male adaptor and rotate\. The coupling seals first, then the internal valves open, keeping media safely inside the line throughout the connection process\. No spillage occurs at any point\. Disconnection reverses the process — valves in both halves close automatically before the coupling separates, preventing product loss\. The male adaptor remains on the system with its valve closed until the next connection\. \<\!\-\- FEATURES \-\-\> \Key features\ \ \\Spill\-free connection and disconnection\ — valves close automatically before separation; neither operator nor environment is exposed to the transported product\ \\Under\-pressure coupling\ — connect and disconnect while the line is under operating pressure or still filled, reducing downtime during loading cycles\ \\Maximum flow\ — flow\-optimised internal design using finite element method \(FEM\), validated by flow testing; minimises pressure loss\ \\Integrated swivel joint\ — reduces mechanical stress and prevents torsion in the pipe; low maintenance requirement\ \\ARTA safety pin\ — prevents unintentional release of the coupling during operation\ \\Mechanical lockout option\ — prevents accidental coupling to an incompatible connector, eliminating product mix\-up risk\ \\50\+ year proven design\ — continuously developed with current technology; globally certified\ \\Fully serviceable\ — spare kits available; not a throw\-away product\ \ \<\!\-\- DRY BREAK COMPARISON TABLE \-\-\> \Dry break coupling options from Treloar\ Treloar supplies three dry break coupling ranges to suit different applications and budgets: \ \ \ \Product\ \Best for\ \Key feature\ \Serviceability\ \ \ \ \ \\ARTA ASK\-C\ \(this page\)\ \Petroleum, chemical, gas, food/pharma — premium engineered applications\ \50\+ year design, ATEX certified, widest size range \(DN15–DN200\)\ \Fully serviceable — kits available\ \ \ \\SAS Dry Breaks\\ \Tank truck, transport and general industrial\ \NATO certified, 1"–4", quick connect/disconnect, minimal fluid loss\ \Serviceable\ \ \ \\Drylok Dry Break\\ \Hazardous corrosive and volatile liquids — acids, solvents, petrochemicals\ \Driest disconnect in industry — less than 1cc fluid loss from 3" unit\ \Serviceable\ \ \ \ Not sure which dry break coupling is right for your application? \Contact the Treloar team\ for a recommendation\. \<\!\-\- FAQ \-\-\> \Frequently asked questions\ \What is a dry break coupling?\ A dry break coupling \(also called a dry disconnect coupling or dry break fitting\) allows pipelines and hose lines to be connected and disconnected under operating pressure without product spillage\. Both halves of the coupling contain automatic shut\-off valves that close before separation, preventing fluid loss and protecting operators and the environment from exposure to the transferred media\. \What is the difference between a dry break coupling and a standard cam and groove coupling?\ A standard cam and groove \(camlock\) coupling does not have automatic shut\-off valves — disconnecting under pressure causes product spillage\. A dry break coupling seals automatically on disconnection, making it suitable for hazardous, volatile, or environmentally sensitive fluids where any spillage is unacceptable\. \What fluids can the ARTA ASK dry break coupling handle?\ The ASK range handles petroleum products, liquid and gaseous chemicals \(including acids, caustics and solvents\), LNG, LPG, compressed gases, and food/pharmaceutical\-grade liquids \(ASK\-FD variant\)\. Seal materials \(PTFE, EPDM, Viton®\) and body materials \(stainless steel, Hastelloy®\) can be specified to suit the media\. \Are ARTA dry break couplings ATEX certified?\ Yes\. The ARTA ASK\-C is certified to 2014/34/EU \(ATEX\) for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, as well as EN14432, 2014/68/EU \(Pressure Equipment Directive\), 21 CFR Part 11 and USP Code 6\. \What sizes are available for the ASK dry break coupling?\ The ARTA ASK series is available in sizes DN15 \(½"\) through DN200 \(8"\)\. Connections include NPT, BSP and ISO threads, and ANSI and ISO flanges\. Other connections are available on request\. \Are spare parts available for ARTA ASK dry break couplings?\ Yes\. The ARTA ASK\-C is fully serviceable — spare kits are available\. Contact Treloar for details on the kit applicable to your order code\. \What is the difference between a dry break valve and a dry break coupling?\ The terms are often used interchangeably\. Technically, a dry break coupling refers to the complete connection system \(both male and female halves\), while a dry break valve refers to the shut\-off valve mechanism within each half that closes automatically on disconnection\. In practice, "dry break coupling," "dry break valve," "dry break fitting" and "dry disconnect coupling" all describe the same product category\. \<\!\-\- CTA \-\-\> \Request a quote\ Contact Treloar for pricing, lead times and spare kit availability on the ARTA ASK dry break coupling range\.

\Swivel Joint Maintenance Requirement Improvements\ \

\Say Goodbye to Monthly Greasing:\\ \

One of the most significant improvements is the extended greasing interval\. Our \new swivel joints\ only require lubrication annually, a drastic reduction compared to the monthly greasing routines of traditional models\. This translates to significant time savings and reduced maintenance costs for your operation\.\ \

\Effortless Seal Inspection and Replacement:\\ \

Another pain point addressed is seal maintenance\. Previously, inspecting for worn seals often meant a time\-consuming disassembly process\. Our \upgraded swivel joints\ feature a cleverly engineered leak detection port\. This allows for a simple annual inspection to determine seal integrity, eliminating unnecessary disassembly and maximizing uptime\.\ \

\Enhanced Durability for Extended Service Life:\\ \

We've gone beyond just reducing maintenance frequency\. Our \new swivel joints\ boast superior durability thanks to a series of strategic upgrades\. We've replaced the traditional dust seal with a more robust o\-ring, effectively preventing water ingress, a major contributor to premature seal wear\. Furthermore, we've incorporated a backup seal, providing an extra layer of protection and extending the overall lifespan of your swivel joint\.\ \

\Unparalleled Convenience and Flexibility:\\ \

For even greater convenience, our \new swivel joint design\ allows independent greasing of seals and bearings with different greases, catering to specific application requirements\. Additionally, the split flange design facilitates easy seal replacement without removing the ball bearings, further streamlining maintenance procedures\.\ \

\Extreme Service Solutions:\\ \

Our commitment to innovation extends beyond standard applications\. We understand that some operations require swivel joints capable of handling highly specialized fluids\. To address this need, we offer a selection of \extreme service swivel joints\ sourced from our trusted international partners\. These robust joints are designed to withstand harsh environments and handle a wide range of fluids, including acids, caustics, and specialty chemicals, ensuring reliable performance in even the most demanding situations\.\ \

\ \ \ \\ \ \Old Swivels\ \ \ \New Swivels\ \ \ \ \\Grease Swivel Joint\\ \1 month\ \1 year\ \ \ \\Replace Dust Seal / O\-Ring\\ \1 year\ \Replace O\-ring\(s\) when required – Leak detection port allows annual inspection to determine if seal need to be replaced before a leak occurs\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
