Steam Jacketed Loading Arms

Steam jacketed loading arm assemblies by OPW incorporate a "pipe within pipe" design and are used to handle products that need to be transferred at elevated temperatures. The inner pipe conveys the product being handled, while the outer pipe or jacket contains the steam. With these arms the product can be heated very quickly and uniformly.

For less demanding applications, hollow core steam trace elements that are clamped and bonded to the straight sections of piping in the loading arm can be used instead of full jackets. OPW top loaders and bottom loaders can be fully or partially jacketed / traced for efficient handling of asphalt, molten sulfur, waxes, resins, and other products that are highly viscous or tend to solidify when unheated. Available in 2", 3", 4", and 6" sizes in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Assemblies are supplied with all necessary steam jumper hoses. Threaded, flanged, and welded construction are available. All OPW steam jacketed loading arms are custom designed to specifications depending upon the product being handled, temperature, and overall reach and flexibility required. Please consult our representatives with your specifications and application requirements.
