SECC Midline Weak Link
These Secc Midline Weak Link's (MLWL) are new/unused surplus.
It is a high-integrity, pressure-balanced emergency disconnect system designed to provide critical protection in subsea fluid transfer operations. Positioned midway along the fluid conduit, the MLWL automatically seals both ends upon separation, preventing uncontrolled fluid release into the marine environment and safeguarding both personnel and equipment from dangerous loads.
This unit offers operators a cost-effective solution for enhancing subsea safety while maintaining full compliance with industry standards (API 6A & 17D).
Designed for 25 years of service life, they feature a passive operational profile, dual-seal self-sealing technology, and customizable break load thresholds to suit project requirements.
