API Couplers
As a manufacturer of high-quality loading arm systems and accessories, Excel Loading Systems offers top-of-the-line API couplers for bottom-loading arm applications. Our API couplers have been used in many industries including petrochemical and petroleum.
Excel Loading’s CLICK and SNAP-ON API couplings are designed with ease of maintenance and safety in mind for load transports. They are manufactured with an aluminum anodized hard coat and handle and stainless-steel hardware to withstand the harshest conditions. In addition, they are manufactured and tested to the American Petroleum Institute standard API RP-1004.
API RP-1004 guides manufacturers as to the uniformity that should be present, specifically regarding loading tank vehicles with a standard 4-inch adaptor. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the commonality of connection profiles, meaning that even if API Couplers are from different manufacturers they should be interchangeable in their application.

API Couplings are widely used in the petroleum and petrochemical industry to effectively connect to and disengage cleaning from bottom loading tankers. The API couplers are mounted on the bottom loading arm with a flange connection which is then attached to the API valves on the petroleum tanker. This connection will provide trouble-free operation, high flow rates and ensure a clean, spill-free connection every time you load.
As an API Coupler manufacturer, Excel Loading Systems has developed a range of API couplings designed to improve safety, performance and reliability when unloading materials.
