What is OPW Slide Sleeve Arm A-32-F used for?
OPW Slide Sleeve Arm A-32-F is used for small bulk plants and terminals handling fuel oil or other petroleum products where the distance from rack to truck varies. Its configuration is selected around the loading geometry and transfer duty. AxFlow can help define the appropriate arrangement for a specific terminal.
How does OPW Slide Sleeve Arm A-32-F work?
The verified operating principle is that a telescoping slide-sleeve assembly moves in and out to position the drop tube accurately over the vehicle opening. This provides the movement or control needed at the loading point. Exact configuration depends on the installed piping and connection requirements.
What technical data should be checked for OPW Slide Sleeve Arm A-32-F?
OPW documents that OPW lists 2, 3 and 4 in sizes and specifies a maximum recommended flow velocity of 4.5 m/s for this medium-duty design. These values provide a basis for screening the application. Final selection must also consider the actual medium, pressure, temperature and site geometry.
How do I choose the correct OPW Slide Sleeve Arm A-32-F configuration?
Check line size, required telescoping range, product, inlet connection, loading valve and flow velocity. These parameters determine the suitable arm, material and connection arrangement. AxFlow can support product selection and availability checks.
Can AxFlow provide service and spare parts for OPW Slide Sleeve Arm A-32-F?
AxFlow can support service and spare-parts enquiries for OPW loading equipment. The correct parts depend on the installed configuration and revision. Supplying identification details helps confirm the appropriate components before ordering.
