DGCouplings
Dry Gas Couplings are used to prevent excess spillage. They protect people and property from dangerous and costly exposure
by keeping hazardous liquids and vapors
in-line and out of the environment.
Dry Gas Couplings are used at liquid or vapor transfer points where you do not want
product loss. Using Dry Gas couplings will
reduce the hazards typically found when
handling/processing LPG

Spillage diagram
Comparasion of liquid loss during disconnection for Dry
Gas Couplings and traditional systems using open threaded
couplings, or flange to flange connections. The diagram
shows that liquid loss for traditional systems may be as much
as 10.000 times more than when using Dry Gas Couplings.
