API Couplers

API Couplers by Carbis Loadtec provide competitively priced API RP 1004 Couplers for bulk fluid transfer while bottom loading.

Since the mid 1970’s the petroleum distribution industry has been switching its tanker filling methods to bottom filling operations. The key factor that has united virtually every loading point worldwide are API couplers and of the specification API RP1004.

This dictates the profile of the nose piece on the tanker filling adapter. That profile means that each and every manufacturer of loading arm couplers has to be able to connect to and disengage cleanly from, the adapter with that profile. The Carbis Loadtec API Coupler is a manual version aimed at bulk plants and locations where the intense demand of major terminals calls for more expensive and automated versions.

Aluminium bodied and FKM seals provide safe and clean bulk transfer at up to 2250 litres per minute.
