Overview
The DN150 Aviation Refueller NBR Rubber Compensator is a high-precision, hand-built flexible joint specifically custom-engineered for the mobile fueling systems of aircraft refueller trucks and bowsers. Designed for extreme spatial constraints in tanker manifolds, this unit features a specialized 130mm face-to-face length and custom-drilled aluminum alloy flanges to accommodate non-standard pipe interfaces.
Constructed from high-nitrile NBR rubber, this compensator ensures superior material integrity and resistance to swelling when exposed to Jet A-1/RP-3 fuels. The integrated SS304 vacuum ring provides critical structural support, preventing bellows collapse during high-flow suction or vacuum-assisted fuel recovery operations common in aviation ground support equipment (GSE).
Key Features
- Fuel-Grade NBR Construction: Utilizing high-nitrile NBR (Nitrile) rubber to provide maximum stability and prevent degradation or media contamination in aviation kerosene environments.
- Hand-Built WCR Craftsmanship: The specialized manual winding process allows for reinforced fabric layers and consistent wall thickness, offering superior safety and pressure resistance in volatile fuel environments.
- Integrated Vacuum Reinforcement: Features an internal SS304 stainless steel vacuum ring, essential for maintaining structural integrity during rapid pump suction cycles.
- Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Flanges: Significantly reduces overall vehicle weight compared to steel and prevents galvanic corrosion when connected to aluminum alloy fuel lines.
- Non-Standard Bolt Hole Alignment: Precision-drilled flanges solve the common challenge of mismatched or unique bolt patterns in specialized refueling vehicle manifolds.
Applications
This rubber compensator is ideal for:
- Aircraft Refueller Trucks & Bowsers: Flexible connection for fuel pump inlets and discharge manifolds where space is restricted.
- Hydrant Dispensers (GSE): Vibration isolation and stress relief in mobile hydrant fueling units and filtration skids.
- Aviation Fuel Skid Modules: Compact piping connections for specialized metering, pumping, and filtration modules.
- Tanker Loading & Unloading Systems: Providing flexible, fuel-resistant links for rapid fuel transfer and recovery.
