Aluminium Swivels for Banlaw 2” Refuelling Nozzles

Issue Date: 12/03

1. OBJECTIVE This document describes the new Banlaw AUS50 & AUS52 aluminium swivels, designed for use with all Banlaw 2” refuelling nozzles. 2. BACKGROUND The mass of a refuelling nozzle, its swivel and associated fittings, has become an increasing concern for refuelling operators. Banlaw Pipeline have been working on 2 new products to achieve a significant reduction in the mass of the nozzle assembly:

• The new Banlaw “Lightweight” Refuelling Nozzle is due to be released by Feb-March 2004, achieving a saving of over 20% against the current Banlaw BAM series nozzles.

• The new range of Banlaw aluminium nozzle swivels achieve a weight saving of over 40% against the equivalent Banlaw steel swivel.
