Abstract

See full text

There is provided an assembly for transferring matter between first and second objects separated by a distance, either or both of the first and second objects being movable to increase or decrease the distance therebetween. The assembly comprises: a conduit providing a medium for transferring matter between the first and second objects, the conduit comprising first and second conduit sections, the first conduit section being operatively connectable to the first object, the second conduit section being operatively connectable to the second object; an emergency release system including an emergency release coupling, the emergency release coupling including first and second coupling portions (10,12), the first coupling portion (10) operatively coupled to the first conduit section, the second coupling portion (12) operatively coupled to the second conduit section, the first and second coupling portions (10,12) configured to be selectively connectable and separable to permit selective coupling and separation of the first and second conduit sections; and a diagnostic system programmed to perform a proof test to assess the operational capability of the emergency release system prior to the operation of the conduit to transfer matter between the first and second objects.
