Nu-Saf Plus

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Nu-Saf™ Plus system is designed for reliable overpressure relief, integrating advanced technology with simplicity. It includes rupture disks and Safety Heads suitable for a wide range of applications and service pressures, from 3 psig (0.21 bar g) to 1800 psig (124 bar g), and sizes from 1 inch (25 mm) to 24 inch (600 mm).
Components:
  • Rupture Disks: The system offers XN™, XN-85™, and LCN™ Rupture Disks, each tailored for specific burst pressures and operating conditions. XN and XN-85 disks feature precision scoring to minimize fragmentation and can operate at up to 80% and 85% of their marked burst pressures, respectively. The LCN disk is designed for low-pressure applications with a composite design.
  • Safety Heads: The NX-7R Safety Head is designed for easy installation, featuring asymmetric alignment pins and a metal-to-metal seal to prevent leaks. Alternative designs like NF-7RS and NF-7R offer additional protection and pre-torquing capabilities.
Specifications:
  • Sizes: 1” - 24” (25-600 mm)
  • Pressures: 3 to 1800 psig (0.21 to 124 barg)
  • Operating Ratio: Up to 85% or 90% of minimum burst pressure
  • Burst Tolerance: ±/-5% above 40 psig (2.76 barg)
  • Materials: Various alloys including Aluminum, Nickel, Monel®, Inconel®, 316 Stainless Steel, and Alloy C-276, with specific temperature limits.
Benefits:
  • Suitable for both liquid and gas services
  • Easy installation and leak-tight design
  • Fail-safe operation if damaged
  • Minimal flow resistance and vacuum resistance options
Manufacturing Design Range: Options for 0%, -5%, or -10% design ranges are available, ensuring compliance with ASME code requirements.
Applications: The system is suitable for various industrial applications requiring reliable overpressure protection, with customization options based on specific operational needs.
Safety Heads Overview: The document provides technical specifications and guidelines for NX-7R, NXV-7R, and NF-7RS Safety Heads, detailing measurements, material specifications, and installation instructions.
Specifications: Lists dimensions and ratings for safety heads, including nominal size, overall height, and outside diameter. Specifies flange ratings and provides measurements in inches and millimeters. Compatible with standards like ANSI, DIN, and JIS.
Materials and Design: Standard materials include 316 stainless steel and carbon steel. Features a metal-to-metal "bite-type" seal and a pretorquable design for proper alignment and sealing. Locating pins ensure centering and orientation of the disk within the safety head.
Installation and Maintenance: Designed to locate between the studs of two companion flanges. Can be removed, inspected, and reinstalled, provided capscrews are retained and torque is maintained. A J-bolt ensures correct flow direction by aligning with a drilled hole in the companion flange inlet.
Applications and Recommendations: Advises consulting BS&B Safety Systems for specific applications, such as tongue/groove configurations. Mentions a 1/4” NTP outlet for relief valve isolation.
Patents: Covered by US patent 4751938 and other international patents, indicating proprietary design features.
