Unmatched Safety and PerformanceRego VFL Series breakaway fittings deliver immediate shutoff upon unintentional separation, ensuring no LNG spillage. Designed with elastomeric seals and bubble-tight closure, their construction guarantees safe and reliable operation during LNG transfer, venting, and filling processes. Its quick-connect mechanism and robust materials withstand extreme conditions.
Designed for Longevity and ComplianceBuilt for durability, the breakaway fitting exceeds 10,000 operational cycles. Each unit is tested and fully compliant with international standards, such as ASME B31.3, EN 13769, PED, and TPED. This assures top-tier reliability and safety for distributors, exporters, importers, and service providers handling LNG in India.
FAQs of Rego LNG Vent / Fill Breakaway VFL Series:
Q: How does the Rego VFL Series breakaway fitting enhance safety during LNG operations?
A: The Rego VFL Series is engineered to break away cleanly under excessive force, immediately shutting off LNG flow and preventing hazardous spills. Its bubble-tight shutoff and quick-connect design protect personnel and equipment during accidental separation.
Q: What is the typical process for installing and operating the VFL Series in LNG applications?
A: Installation involves connecting the threaded (1-1/4 NPT) coupling to LNG transfer lines. Operation is manualrequiring physical connection/disconnectionwhile the devices automatic shutoff activates during a breakaway event, sealing both ends instantly.
Q: When should the VFL Series be serviced or maintained?
A: The VFL Series is field serviceable and should be inspected periodically in line with user protocols or after a breakaway incident. Routine maintenance ensures the coupling remains reliable for its 10,000-cycle service life.
Q: Where can the Rego VFL Series be applied in the LNG transfer process?
A: This breakaway fitting is suitable for transfer, venting, and filling operations involving LNG, and is commonly used at terminals, fueling stations, and industrial facilities across India where secure and compliant LNG handling is essential.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing a PED, TPED, and ASME B31.3 compliant breakaway coupling?
A: Selecting a compliant breakaway fitting like the Rego VFL Series ensures adherence to stringent safety and quality standards. It provides peace of mind regarding the integrity of LNG operations and can support regulatory approvals for diverse applications.
Q: How does the reusable design of the VFL Series improve operational efficiency?
A: After activation due to excessive force, the VFL Series coupling can be reset and reused, unlike single-use alternatives. This feature minimizes downtime and replacement costs, enhancing operational continuity for LNG suppliers and end-users.
