1. Title:How to do Maintenance of Top Loading Arm
Keywords: bottom loading arm,break away ,road tanker loading facilities,fluid transfer
Summary:What should you pay attention to in the installation and maintenance of the
tube (fluid handling arm)?
loading arm pipe maintenance need to pay attention to? The use and maintenance of the
loading arm need to pay attention to what matters?
Body:Truck loading / unloading loading arm/ rail handling loading arm is used in the
petrochemical industry is very frequent equipment, long-term loading and unloading
tanker in the process, the loading arm will inevitably be part of the loss, if improper
operation will cause minor leakage and other issues, The operation process has brought
some small trouble, so the use of personnel in loading arm clearance time to load and
unload the equipment must be maintained.
Regular maintenance can make loading loading arm tube life becomes longer, but also
increased the flexibility of the loading arm, Loading and unloading operation more light
while improving efficiency, car loading arm maintenance steps, then talk about loading
arm after use, the maintenance process which needs to be done several specific details:
1. Equipment maintenance personnel should be based on the business plan to rationalize
the loading arm management (loading arm) maintenance plan;
2. Rotary joint as the core component of the loading arm pipe should be the focus of each
maintenance, loading arm pipe joints and its fastening of each key check points, found
loose should be tightened in time;

2. 3. Rotary joint of loading and unloading loading arm tube must be replaced once every
two years high-quality grease (lithium-based grease);
4. At least once a year on the spring cylinder filling high-quality grease;
5. It is recommended not to disassemble the rotary joint. If it is necessary to open it, the
sealing surface and the seal of the rotary joint must be protected. There must be no
damage. The sealing surface must be clean and free of any residue and dust. Otherwise,
it is very possible. Resulting in rotary joint leakage, serious damage to the sealing surface
will not be repaired.
