Product catalog summary
Industry Applications: The BS&B Lo-to-FloTM safety head is utilized across various industries including oil refining, chemicals and petrochemicals, food processing, liquid plastics handling, paint and plastic manufacturing, pulp and paper, air flow systems handling slurries, sludge pumps, acid reclamation or manufacturing, and pump protection on viscous fluids.
Product Overview: The Lo-to-FloTM safety head is designed to protect systems using high viscosity liquids. Its unique design allows liquid to flow past the disk surface, minimizing product buildup and preventing premature rupture disk activation.
Features: The assembly includes a body, base, hold down, and rupture disk. It supports standard ANSI or international piping connections, available in sizes from 1/2 to 6 inches. The standard flange rating is 150 ANSI, with higher ratings available. Compatible rupture disks include BS&B type BTM series, DTM series, XTTM, XNTM, Scored BTM, or XN-85TM.
Specifications: The safety head is available in various materials, including cast iron, stainless steel, and cast steel, with optional linings like glass, rubber, and Kynar®. Dimensions vary by size and configuration, with specific measurements provided for ANSI 150 flanges.
How to Specify: When specifying, indicate body end connections and material, hold down end connection type, and whether a lining is required. The hold down flange is exposed to process media only after disk rupture, allowing for standard material use.
Contact Information: BS&B provides contact details for offices worldwide, including locations in Ireland, UK, USA, Mexico, India, Canada, Germany, Russia, Brazil, China, Singapore, UAE, and Japan.
