Quick Release Coupling (Q.R.C.)

Quick Release Coupling (Q.R.C.)

Quick release couplings, also known as quick couplers or quick connect couplings, play a crucial role in fluid systems, particularly in applications where frequent connection and disconnection are required. These couplings are utilized in both pneumatic and hydraulic systems for the rapid and efficient assembly or disassembly of fluid pipelines. They are available in various materials, with stainless steel SS304 / 316, mild steel, and brass being common choices to suit different application requirements.

Here are some key details about the 203 Series TGW Female Quick Release Coupling mentioned:

  • Size: Available in sizes ranging from 1/4″ to 2″, providing flexibility for various pipeline dimensions.

  • Material:

    • Stainless Steel SS 304 / 316: Known for its corrosion resistance and durability, making it suitable for applications in harsh environments.
    • Mild Steel: Offers strength and is often used in industrial settings.
    • Brass: Known for its corrosion resistance and conductivity, making it suitable for specific applications.
  • Working Pressure: The working pressure of these quick release couplings can go up to 70 to 450 Bars. The actual working pressure would depend on the size of the coupling body.

  • Connection Thread Type:

    • Threaded BSP (British Standard Pipe): A parallel threaded connection type commonly used in Europe / Asia.
    • Threaded NPT (National Pipe Thread): A tapered threaded connection type widely used in North America.

Quick release couplings are designed to enhance efficiency in fluid handling systems, allowing for swift and secure connections. The choice of material and size, as well as the working pressure specifications, should be carefully considered based on the specific requirements and conditions of the application.
