Marine loading arm is specialized equipment designed for the efficient loading and unloading of fluid materials between jetties and tankers. Utilizing swivel joints to connect pipelines and supported by robust structural frameworks, these systems ensure safe and flexible fluid transfer.
Our marine loading arms are available in multiple structural forms, including the AM61, AM62, AM63, and AM64 series. These systems are engineered to handle various physical and chemical properties of transmission media across a wide temperature spectrum.
- Temperature Range: -196ºC to 250ºC.
- Maximum Pressure: Up to 10Mpa.
- Nominal Pipe Size: DN80 to DN600 (3" to 24").
- Operating Modes: Manual or electro-hydraulic control options.
- Safety: Integrated visual and sound alarm systems with travel monitoring.
The AM62 model features a specialized design where a portion of the product pipe provides support, while the primary weight and loads are managed by an independent body or auxiliary supporting organizations. This model utilizes a shared counterweight system for inner and outer arms, making it compactly structured and ideal for large-tonnage vessels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of media can the marine loading arm handle?
The equipment is versatile and designed to handle solid, liquid, and gaseous materials, including chemical fluids.
What is the operating temperature range for these systems?
Our loading arms are engineered to operate in extreme conditions, ranging from -196ºC to 250ºC.
Can the control system be customized?
Yes, we offer both manual and electro-hydraulic control modes depending on the dimension, model, and specific customer requirements.
How does the system handle tanker movement during loading?
The arm is designed to move flexibly with the tanker within its normal drift range. It also features a monitoring system that triggers an alarm if the tanker drifts beyond safe limits.
What materials are used for the piping?
Depending on the medium's chemical properties, pipes can be constructed from carbon steel, stainless steel, or equipped with heat tracing.
What is the maximum design pressure for the AM series?
The maximum design pressure can reach up to 10Mpa, with standard working pressures ranging between 0.6 and 4.0MPa.
