Slide Sleeve Top Loading Arm
A-32-F
The slide sleeve type of arm incorporates a slide sleeve
assembly that telescopes in and out to adjust for variations in the distance
from the loading rack to the hauling vehicle. It is used primarily in small
bulk plants and terminals for top loading gasoline, fuel oil, or other petroleum
products. This durable, dependable and cost effective loading arm is time
tested as a practical method of locating the drop tube accurately and easily.
The slide sleeve is a medium duty unit designed for flow
rates up to 15 ft/sec (4.5m/sec). Higher flow rates may tend to push the
inner tube out beyond the loading point.
