This popular riser swivel joint is precision engineered and built of the finest materials to give long life, trouble free service under the most extreme conditions. It is the most commonly utilized swivel joint for unsupported bottom loading assemblies. The 857 Series comes standard with Timken® roller bearings that afford a friction free movement in the horizontal plane. The sealing surface is maintained by a CNC milled collar unit that features a double "O" ring design over a polished sleeve, which can be replaced within 15 minutes while never having to dismantle the loading arm assembly. The Model 857 riser swivel joint is constructed of machine milled carbon steel. The sealing chamber is protected by a high density plastic shield. Packing seal material is Buna-N (standard) but Viton, Teflon®, Nitrile, Kalrez®, Chemrez®, EPDM and EPR are available. Standard configuration is a style 20 with 150# raised faced, flanged ends. It is offered in 4" size. |
The Low Torque ("LT") model swivel joint is a specifically conditioned 90 Series swivel joint that reduces torque up to 65% more than any other conventional joint. Uses of the LT Series are where chinking of hoses or unnecessary wear are of crucial concern. The low torque swivel can be broken with a minimal amount of manual pressure, assisting in ease of use for the operator. The 90 Series Low Torque is vital to sensitive operations. The application of the low torque option for the 90 Series swivel joint is for the entire nominal size range. Following the CNC milling stage, the spool sleeve is polished on a lathe and turned to an extra smooth surface. The body portion receives a specifically tailored honing. And the swivel joint utilizes a specific low friction graphite lubricant. This process is also not limited to carbon steel units, but can be applied to both aluminum and stainless steel assemblies as well. |
Expanding the already well known 1400 and 1900 Split Flange Series, OILCO increased the overall dimensions of the units to accommodate many of the mainstream pipeline sizes. These swivels have widely spaced ball races allowing for better alignment and higher moment load. The single point seal will operate under both a vacuum and a pressure environment. The large size Split Flange Series is offered in both carbon steel and stainless steel T-316. In smaller sizes, a 3rd raceway has been machined into the swivel and the triple spread has been moved to the maximum allowable width to provide best carrying capacity and increased alignment. The ball chambers are CNC milled and then polished to specific tolerances to ensure load carrying capacity and rotation throughout the operational life of the swivel joint. Packing seal material is Buna-N (standard) but Viton, Teflon®, Nitrile, Kalrez®, Chemrez®, EPDM and EPR are available. |
Swivel joints manufactured in each of the major configurations in conjunction with the torsion spring counterbalance or spring-matic unit. Each unit (i.e. - the single spring Model 641, the double spring Model 640, the double-double spring Model 645, and the 1853-M Spring-matic Cylinder) is available for mounting on every style 50 or style 70 swivel joint. Every swivel joint configuration is also available with any number of inlet and outlet combinations; male threaded, flanged, or female half coupling. OILCO can design the counterbalance swivel joint units to be piggable (as seen to the right in the steam jacketed model), welded construction, or engineered to required specifications by the customer to meet project needs. |
Internal product lines can handle 500 psi while the steam chambers can work up to a range of 150 psi. The swivel joint packing seals are able to withstand temperatures of up to 600 F. All internal elbows are long radius and standard weight, allowing the assembly to be piggable when required. The incorporated joints are adaptable to suction or pressure lines with standard packing seals. Constructed of a lighter gauge material on the exterior of the unit, a standard jacket will allow steam to circulate evenly in order to preclude binding of the product. The external jacketing covers the elbow, but also the entire ball race swivel area, providing positive rotation at all times. Every assembly is manufactured with long radius elbows to allow the application to be piggable. These steam jacketed swivel are used for such viscous materials as petroleum products, asphalt, tars, heavy oil, liquid sulphur, chemicals, and food products. Steam jacketed swivels are available in sizes ranging from 2" to 10" and are constructed from carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Packing seal material is Buna-N (standard) but Viton, Teflon®, Nitrile, Kalrez®, Chemrez®, EPDM and EPR are available. |
By isolating the critical areas of the sealing service, OILCO managed to develop a process that mates the benefits of stainless steel, while keeping the cost of the unit down to a more manageable level. The result was the stainless steel insert swivel joint. These swivels are dimensionally identical to their carbon steel and stainless steel counterparts, but utilize the necessary aspects of each material to prolong the seal life and seal area integrity. The development of the stainless steel inserts for use in the 90 Series swivels has increased the life expectancy of the standard carbon steel units, while not forcing the consumer to rely solely on the markedly higher priced full stainless steel T-316 version. |
This unique ability to customize an already diverse swivel joint line is what truly marks the innovative side of OILCO and its product capabilities. Ranging from special mounting circumstances, to epoxy coating, to modified handling and insertion, OILCO has the ability to manufacture any swivel joint necessary to fulfill project requirements. It is through the ability to restructure the manufacturing and assembly process, that OILCO can continually alter the project to suit tedious requirements or otherwise rare engineering conditions. Regardless of core differences in unit design, simple exterior coating, dated reproduction work, or complex "one-off" innovations, OILCO has the tradition and desire to satisfy those needs. |
