What is OPW Supported Boom Style Top Loading Arm used for?
OPW Supported Boom Style Top Loading Arm is used for railcar and tank-truck top loading where a wide working envelope, long reach and support for heavier outboard components are required. 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 Supported Boom Style Top Loading Arm work?
The verified operating principle is that a supported boom carries the arm through a wide working envelope and can fold back against the gantry for storage. 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 Supported Boom Style Top Loading Arm?
OPW documents that OPW lists 2, 3, 4 and 6 in sizes, carbon steel, stainless steel or aluminum materials, and flanged, threaded or all-welded construction. 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 Supported Boom Style Top Loading Arm configuration?
Check required reach and load, line size, media, material, valve/coupling arrangement and gantry geometry. 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 Supported Boom Style Top Loading Arm?
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.
