Technology Field

Defence, Peace, Safety and Security

Business Opportunity

Technology available for licensing. A partnering opportunity. Suitable for SMME

Technology Description

The gas coupling is a novel method of integrating Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware to operate safely at gas pressures exceeding 200 bar.

Benefits & Advantages

The coupling is automation ready and it can be customized for various processes based on the specified fittings and connections. Simplified sequential operation reduces complexity and makes the coupling accessible to a wider range of untrained users.
