maintenance and servicing advice for loading arms used in various terminal operations, emphasizing the importance of a regimented maintenance program to ensure smooth operations and to reduce downtime. Here’s a summary of the key points:

Importance of Maintenance

Regular maintenance is vital to ensure safety, reliability, and performance in loading operations.

Seal Selection

Selecting the appropriate seals for the loading arm is crucial, especially given temperature fluctuations and the types of products being loaded. Incorrect seals can lead to leaks. It’s advised to consult with the API Coupler manufacturer for the best seal options.

Seal Wear

Frequent connections can wear down seals over time, potentially causing leaks. Operators should inspect seals regularly and replace them at the first signs of wear. Detailed changeout procedures are available from manufacturers like Liquip and OPW.

Obstruction Management

The up/down stops should be checked to ensure that the loading arm does not clash with nearby obstructions. It's recommended to keep the horizontal arm parallel to the ground to maximize vertical movement.

Loading Arms Adjustment

Over time, the balance mechanism of loading arms may droop, affecting the coupler's position. Operators should make adjustments to maintain the optimal loading position, ensuring ergonomic connections to tankers.
