Why are dry-disconnect couplers better than quick disconnects?

摘要

Various styles of couplers and hose/pipe fittings are used in and around shale oil plays every day. However, the chance for a leak increases if using quick disconnect technology versus a dry-disconnect coupler. The basic quick-disconnect technology is not always able to offer total product containment, which is a major concern for site personnel and the environment when handling hazardous liquids. Traditional quick disconnects can be hard to handle, with connections oftentimes difficult to complete and hard to verify.
