KLAW Marine Breakaway Couplings protect assets, personnel, reputation and also the environment during offshore transfer operations
Marine Breakaway Couplings minimises risks in offshore transfer
The KLAW Marine Breakaway Coupling gives an identified and safe parting point inside hose transfer system. When tensile forces exceed predetermined tolerances, the Marine Breakaway Coupling activates.
The KLAW Marine Breakaway Coupling then delivers two distinct security measures. The first is the closing from the flow from the media being transferred; second is allowing separation from the hose transfer system. Separation relieves the hose transfer system and minimises risk of damage and spillage.

Minimising risk during offshore transfer
Activation may be brought on by events or situations that will prove disastrous without proven and vital the main transfer system. Events including vessel movement, storms and pressure surge could compromise hose transfer systems and damage assets, problems for personnel, contamination from the environment and extended downtime. This might produce disruption of operation, extensive clean-up costs, litigation and damaged reputation. The KLAW Marine Breakaway Coupling thus remains an important part of maintaining an honest offshore transfer system.

Typical events
Vessel movement and decrease of Dynamic Positioning (DP).
Pressure Surge: Due to inadvertent downstream valve closure elsewhere inside system or over-pressurisation. The activation setting is pre-determined to suit the operating conditions.
Performance boasting

Double closure on activation

Each time a KLAW Marine Breakaway Coupling activates, the Flip-Flap Valve mechanism closes upon the upstream and downstream flow inside hose transfer system. This minimises spill upon sides from the hose transfer separation.
Instantaneous closure
Spill on activation is minimised because of the instantaneous closure from the KLAW Flip-Flap Valve mechanism.
100% shut-off of flow
The KLAW Flip-Flap Valve mechanism provides 100% closure and as a consequence 100% shut-off of both upstream and downstream flow.
Minimum headloss
The KLAW Flip-Flip Valve is built to deliver minimum headloss when in the locked open position inside Breakaway Coupling. This allows the coupling to deliver transfer efficiencies and also minimising potential risk of spills.
Reliable performance inside marine environment
The KLAW Marine Breakaway Coupling is made specifically to stand up to those bending moments and torsional forces expected from floating wave motions and also the rigours from the marine environment. The perception of the KLAW Marine Breakaway Coupling therefore prevents premature activation from the unit and protects the Breakstuds from fatigue.
