Reliability, durability and flow analysis of spill prevention couplings

SmartFlow联轴器是一支由具有工业联轴器设计经验的小型机械工程师组成的团队，尤其是在石油和天然气、化工领域。在过去的三年里，他们一直在交易各种不同的产品，并逐渐建立起良好的业务水平。在过去的三年里，他们在产品开发上进行了投资，现在准备推出该系列的其余产品和另外9个产品。这些产品是用于防止工业现场泄漏的干式联轴器。因此，最终客户需要一定程度的信任，因为它们用于健康、安全和环境原因。与NEL和NPL合作的项目将提高市场的可信度。该项目将能够复制行业中的苛刻条件，并在为期一周的测试中分析联轴器在提升参数时的性能。NPL将确定联轴器内关键活动部件的磨损特性，帮助确定预期寿命和服务间隔建议。

Smartflow Couplings are a small team of mechanical engineers with experience in industrial coupling design, for oil & gas, chemical sectors in particular. They have been trading a variation of their range of products over the past 3 years and gradually building up to a good level of business. They have invested in product development in these past 3 years and are now ready to launch the remaining products from this range with a further 9 products.The products are dry break couplings used to prevent spills on industrial sites. Therefore there needs to be a level of trust from the end client, as they are used for health and safety and environmental reasons.A project collaborating with NEL and NPL will enhance credibility in the marketplace. This project will be able to replicate the tough conditions seen in the industry, and the couplings' performance analysed during elevated parameters in week long tests. NPL will determine the wear characteristics of the critical moving parts within the couplings, helping identify life expectancy and service interval recommendations.
