FLOW LINE CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

A flow line connector assembly comprises a socket and plug (6), the socket and plug (6) being disposed on first (5) and second (20) parts of the connector and having planar and rectilinear cross-sections. The assembly includes a locking device to prevent disconnection of the first (5) and second (20) parts when the tension across the connector is below a given threshold, and an emergency disconnect system that acts to disconnect the first (5) and second (20) parts when tension across the connector exceeds the tension threshold.
