The coupling industry, because it is, consists of small number of items, which are required for all the other industries. They have simple tasks and are used in common places in all kinds of businesses; the couplings are some of the most common used items in the entire world. The task of very coupling is to connect/disconnect two objects, in our case two parts of system or two systems consisting of liquid, gas or powder, simple but highly important work.
It became an industry, because of its wide production and use; entire industries, not just parts of them, rely on coupling items; and I mean large industries. The water providers – the tap and the bottled water rely on couplings; in their smallest systems we can find thousands of them, with many different sizes. Another is the petrol industry – from the thousands of km pipelines to their laboratories – couplings are extremely wide used. The agriculture – one of the biggest clients needs them too – for their irrigational systems for large plantations, essential worldwide, too.
In fact there is large number of companies manufacturing coupling parts, the number of the distributors is even larger – the high demand is answered by high offering. This is one of the reasons for accepting standards available for everybody; the other is the safety; the ISO standards are required for every couplings manufacturer. They even have their own standards to cover in order to increase the client’s confidence – many companies perform their own field tests of the items, to make sure the defect items sent to clients are at the minimum. The confidence of the customers is very important in this industry – if a company loses the trust – it will be very hard to regain it.
The most used materials are the aluminum and the stainless steel – they provide all the necessary qualities for making coupling if them. The carbon is also an option but is not that widely used as the traditional ones; still it is used in some particular cases. The steel and the aluminum are chemical compounds, which handle very well contacts with highly active chemicals- they rarely react with them, which is highly valued quality. Their strength and durability are also welcomed from manufacturers and clients; the less weight of the aluminum make it better for many transportation processes, but the strength of the steel is very high competition.
The cam and groove is part of the camlock industry, in fact many people say that they are the same, which is particularly true. The couplings represent the entire “specie” and the cam and groove is under the “hat”; still it is mostly used for re-connecting or disconnection of systems. The chemical and paint industries are the largest clients for that item, because its attitude there is excellent; but it is not recommended to be used in gas systems. The can and groove can’t handle high pressure and it is not used in any industrial processes including it.
