Did an expert say that quick-connect fittings should not be used for transporting flammable and explosive liquids?

I believe there is a difference between what the expert said and the meaning of the concept of transmission as understood by the original poster, rather than it being a difference in understanding of quick-connect fittings between you and the expert. By transportation as referred to by experts, it means long-distance, large-capacity, and long-duration transportation. What the original poster means is a short distance at the loading/unloading interface on-site, rather than large-volume, temporary transportation. Don’t measure existing standards and norms by your own scope of understanding; only by removing the leaf in front of you can you see your father-in-law.

Experts may be referring to the fact that quick-connect fittings can pose certain safety risks when transporting flammable and explosive liquids. Quick-connect fittings are a convenient way of making connections, but they can generate static electricity and friction during liquid flow, posing a risk of fire or explosion. Therefore, in certain specific scenarios, experts may recommend using other, safer connection methods to avoid potential risks. As for the use of quick-connect fittings in applications such as gas stations and hydrogen pipelines, it is likely because there are already appropriate safety measures and technologies in place to reduce the risk of fires or explosions in such scenarios. Therefore, whether quick-connect fittings can be used specifically still needs to be determined through comprehensive consideration of factors such as the properties of the liquid, the operating environment, and relevant standards. .

Thank you for sharing:victory:

Experts recommend pipe connections for long-term use, but this applies only to chemical plants; many regulations specify that such rules do not apply to gas stations, among other places. Separate regulations for gas stations.
