Unloading arm in LNG projects
Thread Content
I’ve just started working on this project and am still learning; there are many things I’m not sure about. When I first saw that unloading arm, I thought it was just an arm serving as a support rod or something, but as I watched it better, I realized it wasn’t at all like that. Is the unloading arm also a pipe, a movable pipe that connects the ship to the storage tank? Thank you all for your help!
It’s not that simple; it’s similar to the loading/unloading arms used on land vehicles. In layman’s terms, they are called flex hoses. The key components of such flex hoses are the swivel joints and dry separation valves, and some of them tend to leak frequently.
The original poster must now have a good understanding of the unloading arm; could you share some introductory information?
Generally, there are 4 tubes: 3 for unloading and 1 for returning air. But does anyone know where the measuring device is?
