Guillemin coupling – efficient and safe connection for liquid transport

A Guillemin coupling, also known as a French coupling, is a symmetrical quick coupling that is mainly used for the transport of liquids and powders. This coupling is designed according to the NF E 29-572 standard and is widely used in the chemical industry, petrochemical industry and on tankers. The symmetrical design makes it possible to connect the coupling easily and quickly without distinguishing between male and female parts, which increases efficiency and safety.

Applications

Guillemin couplings are versatile and are used in various sectors. In the chemical industry, they are used for the safe transport of aggressive chemicals, where a reliable and leak-free connection is essential. In the petrochemical sector, they are used for loading and unloading fuels and other petroleum products, often on tankers and in storage facilities. In addition, they are used in agriculture for spreading fertilizers and irrigation water, as well as in the food industry for the hygienic transport of liquids such as milk and juices. Advantages of the Guillemin Coupling

One of the main advantages of the Guillemin coupling is its symmetrical design, which allows for fast and error-free coupling and disconnection. This reduces the risk of incorrect connections and increases operational efficiency. In addition, these couplings are equipped with a locking ring, which ensures a safe and leak-free connection, even under high pressure. The availability in different materials, such as aluminium and stainless steel (316 stainless steel), makes it possible to choose the right coupling based on the specific requirements of the application, including corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
