Hydraulic Fluid Control in High Pressure Applications

Machinery and equipment used in many industries such as Oil and Gas, Earth moving and various industrial operations utilize hydraulic systems which require careful maintenance.  Maintaining your hydraulic system for optimum performance, efficiency and safety requires reliable and durable quick couplings.  Hydraulic quick couplers can make the difference between a smooth running operation or disruptions to productivity and safety.  

Hydraulic fluid leaks can also present significant danger to employees as well as to the environment.  High pressure applications present added danger and demand quick couplers designed for pressurized processes.  Specialty quick couplers and adapters designed specifically to maintain fluid control with leak-free performance in high pressure processes are mandatory in these applications.

Threaded Couplings Improve Safety in Oil and Gas Service

Oil and gas service providers are faced with unique challenges during exploration and excavation applications. Business operations in the oil and gas industry must constantly be aware of the condition of their equipment, specifically hydraulic connection systems. When heavy duty machinery and equipment experiences leaking hydraulic fluid or quick connect failure, catastrophic incidents could occur.

Hydraulic quick connect failure could result in release of trapped, residual or high working pressure, causing safety hazards to workers and threatening the environment with contamination.  Preventing leaks with durable and reliable hydraulic quick connect solutions is critically important in many industries especially oil and gas applications.

Read this proven case study to learn how simple process analysis by an experienced hydraulic quick connect expert improved the health and safety of this oil and gas customer.

Proven Case Study with Threaded Quick Coupler Solutions

When a service provider in the oil and gas industry sought the advice of hydraulic quick coupler experts at Stucchi, they received a hydraulic connection solution which significantly improved the health and safety of their workforce. This oil and gas customer was experiencing hydraulic fluid leaks with their flat face coupler system and needed a solution to avoid worker injury and negative environmental contamination.

After analyzing how the quick couplers were interfacing with the process, we revealed an operator safety concern with exposure to stored energy. Our experienced engineers offered a hydraulic quick coupler solution which achieved zero leakage to eliminate workplace injuries and environmental contamination.  Moving to a hydraulic threaded coupling system provided reliable, leak free quick connect and disconnect solutions.  

Stucchi’s VEP series of threaded couplings provided the solution they were looking for with fluid control and leak free connections in high pressure applications. The VEP series features a patented internal valve which allows for leak free quick connect and quick disconnect under pressure.  The thread to connect design prevents brinelling and signs of early wear and tear while the flat face feature prevents fluid loss. 

Stucchi offers several case studies for review as our technical team has improved equipment performance and business operation to several customers in various industries. We offer a wide selection of quick coupler products and custom designed hydraulic solutions. Contact us to learn more about our proven case studies and our threaded coupling products.
