Storz Fire Fighting Couplings
Storz coupling is widely used by fire
services worldwide and was invented
for this purpose by Guido Storz in
1882. It is commonly used on fire
hoses to connect to fire hydrants in
western Europe, esp. Denmark,
Germany, Austria, Switzerland,
Sweden and the Netherlands.
A storz coupling is a quarter turn
internal lug coupling, easy to connect
to each other by the force of lugs
which are on the inside of the
coupling. In some industry usage like
agriculture and irrigation, it can be casting made for general hose connection
and pressure undertake. However, if it is used in fire fighting which is rather
demanding, a forged art craft is always requested to garantee the safety and
duration of the couplings.
HSBC flash China manufacturing PMI hits 8-month low
Business sentiment among Chinese
purchasing managers dropped to an
eight-month low in January, according
to preliminary survey findings released
Monday.
The index by HSBC showed a reading
of 49.6, down from 50.5 in December,
and the lowest since the 47.7 in July.
A figure above 50 generally means a
positive outlook in the manufacturing
sector, while below 50 is taken as a negative reading.

6 inch Big Storz Coming Up
Big machines and sophisticated engineering capacity play key roles in forging up
to so big as six inch storz couplings in one straight row. They are available now
for full range of storz hose and thread couplings and caps.
Suction and Delivery
A significant advantage with the Storz
coupling is that it can be used for both
suction and delivery provided appropriate
washers are used. Agencies in Europe, North
America and Australia use this coupling. In
the 1990's AFAC informally adopted the
Storz coupling as its standard for hose
couplings and it was at that time that
agencies in Queensland, NSW and Victoria
adopted it. DIN standards 14302 and 14303
cover Storz couplings.

Nice Pull & Compression Test Results
We did a
recent test
on its
redesigned
copy made
by forging
technique.
The
couplings
sandwiched
under
ompression
did not
deform till
as high as
10 tons of
pressure.
Hot-drop
forging
technique
is applied
for making
the
coupling as
a complete
unit. Pulled
as high as
to 47.30kN
did the lugs
of coupled
fittings
break so as
to prove
the
integrity of lugs' area.
