What to Consider when Selecting Swivel Joints
選擇旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭時應(yīng)考慮得問題
從消防車到鋼廠,旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭是各種機(jī)械和應(yīng)用的基本部件。這些部件提供了固定管道或軟管與旋轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)械部件之間的平滑連接。設(shè)計、工廠和維修工程師使用柔性管道系統(tǒng)的旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭、裝載臂、軟管卷筒、下水道沖洗器和廢水處理設(shè)備以及各種類型的加工機(jī)械。它們還使用旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭在機(jī)床冷卻液輸送、汽包填充應(yīng)用以及各種廠內(nèi)流體和干散貨輸送應(yīng)用中。在這里,OPW工程系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)品管理總監(jiān)David Morrow提供了他的專業(yè)知識。
From fire trucks to steel mills, swivel joints are essential components for all kinds of machinery and applications. The components provide the smooth connection between stationary pipes or hoses and rotating machinery parts.Design, plant and maintenance engineers use swivel joints in flexible piping systems, loading arms, hose reels, sewer rodding and wastewater treatment equipment, and various types of process machinery. They also use swivel joints in machine tool coolant transfer, drum-filling applications, and in a variety of in-plant fluid and dry bulk transfer applications. Here, David Morrow, Director of Product Management for OPW Engineered Systems offers his expertise.
如果-先進(jìn)的機(jī)器的部件不能移動,它就會發(fā)生故障。旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭是必要的投資,回報很大。它們延長了機(jī)器的使用壽命,減少了維護(hù)和停機(jī)時間。在選擇旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭時,遵循制造商的規(guī)范是非常重要的,否則會發(fā)生泄漏,導(dǎo)致機(jī)器故障。The most advanced machinery can breakdown if its elements aren't able to move. Swivel joints are necessary investments that pay off in a big way. They extend machinery lifetime and reduce maintenance and downtime. It's extremely important to follow the manufacturer's specifications when selecting swivel joints or leakage will occur and the machinery will fail.
應(yīng)用環(huán)境對于選擇正確的旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭至關(guān)重要。壓力、溫度和支撐重量等應(yīng)用設(shè)計參數(shù)對于正確選擇水龍頭以及了解流體本身的腐蝕性都起著至關(guān)重要的作用。The application environment is critical to selecting the right swivel joint. Application design parameters such as pressure, temperature and supported weight all play an essential role in properly selecting a swivel, as well as understanding the corrosiveness of the fluid itself.
The Options are Endless
選擇是無止境的
考慮到潛在的組合,旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭的寬度是無限的尺寸、密封和連接,更不用說金屬了。多功能性是任何有效旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭的關(guān)鍵,因為根據(jù)工作和所需功能的不同,規(guī)格可能有很大差異。The breadth of swivel joints is endless when you consider the potential combinations
of sizes, seals, and connections, not to mention metals. Versatility is the key to any effective swivel joint as specification can vary drastically depending on the job and functionality required.
Specialty Swivel Joints
特種旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭
可為任何可能的應(yīng)用設(shè)計和制造定制旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭。工程師可以通過提供經(jīng)驗豐富的咨詢,以正確的旋轉(zhuǎn)設(shè)計為后盾,專門為您的應(yīng)用需求量身定制,幫助您確定適合您的特殊應(yīng)用的設(shè)計。特殊轉(zhuǎn)環(huán)有多種材料和尺寸可供選擇。一些-典型的應(yīng)用包括:裝載臂、軟管卷盤、鋼廠、船用/碼頭軟管、過濾設(shè)備、油罐車、滾筒填料。Custom swivel joints can be designed and manufactured for any possible application. Engineers can help you determine the appropriate design for your special application by providing experienced consultation, backed up by the right swivel design, tailored specifically to meet your application needs. Specialty swivels are available in a wide range of materials and sizes. A few of the most typical applications include: Loading arms, hose reels, steel mills, marine/dock hoses, filtration equipment, tank trucks, drum fillers.
Loading Arm Replacement Swivels
裝載臂更換旋轉(zhuǎn)裝置
裝載臂系統(tǒng)允許通過柔性管道系統(tǒng)將流體或液化氣體輸送到罐車或軌道車中。有些應(yīng)用程序需要加載臂通過頂部連接加載,而其他連接點(diǎn)位于底部。裝載臂旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭的功能多年來不斷發(fā)展,以滿足流體處理解決方案的要求。Loading arm systems allow the transfer of fluids or liquefied gas into a tank truck or rail car through a flexible piping system. Some applications require a loading arm to load through a top connection, while other connection points are at the bottom. The functionality of loading arm swivel joints has evolved over the years to meet the demands of fluid handling solutions.
Hose Reel Swivels
軟管卷盤旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭
旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭是許多軟管卷盤應(yīng)用程序的一個組成部分,有大量這些零件是專門為軟管卷盤設(shè)計的,具有自定義選項。Swivel joints are an integral part of many hose reel applications and there is a large variety of these parts designed specifically for hose reels, with customization options.
Dual Split Flange Swivels
雙對開法蘭旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭
雙分流法蘭旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭是專門設(shè)計用于傳輸酸,溶劑,石化產(chǎn)品和其他有毒流體。這種類型的旋轉(zhuǎn)接頭具有重型結(jié)構(gòu)和獨(dú)特的設(shè)計組件,有助于使其成為行業(yè)中-佳的旋轉(zhuǎn)技術(shù)。Dual Split Flange swivel joints are specifically designed to transfer acids, solvents, petrochemicals and other toxic fluids. This type of swivel joint feature heavy-duty construction and unique design components that help make it the best available swivel technology in the industry.
