Rupture Disk

Product catalog summary
Overview
This technical guide focuses on rupture disk devices, detailing models such as Sigma™, Sigma EXL™, and SKR™. It includes specifications, operational parameters, and design features for each type.
Specifications
Disk sizes range from 1 to 42 inches with burst pressures from 5 to 2000 psig. Materials used include aluminum, nickel alloy, Inconel®, Monel®, stainless steel, Hastelloy®, tantalum, titanium, and niobium.
Design and Features
All models are designed for non-fragmentation and are suitable for gas or liquid phases. They have a manufacturing design range of 10%, 5%, or 0% and a cycle life rated as 'Best' for fatigue resistance. Most models adhere to 90% ASME standards for maximum operating pressure.
Safety and Isolation
Rupture disks are designed to isolate safety relief valves and are compatible with safety heads like SRI-7RS and SRB-7RS. The Sta-Saf® system enhances safety with solid metal reverse buckling disks and pre-torqued safety heads.
Special Features
Models like Vac-Saf® and Sanitary Rupture Disks offer two-way relief for specific applications. The document also covers alternative reverse buckling and forward-acting tension-loaded disks.
Additional Products
Information on graphite disks for corrosion resistance and custom-engineered products is included. Industrial explosion protection systems like Vent-Saf® and FlameSaf™ are also covered.
Patents and Compliance
The document references US and international patents, ensuring compliance with ASME and PED standards.
Explosion Protection Solutions
BS&B offers products to manage deflagration and detonation risks, including explosion panels, flame arresters, and breather vents, adhering to standards like NFPA 68 and EN 14491.
Explosion Panels
These low burst pressure membranes provide rapid pressure relief and are crucial for managing combustible dust and gas explosions.
Flame Arresters
Certified to EN/ISO 16852:2010, these devices prevent flame transmission in equipment with flammable gases or vapors.
Product Line
The BS&B FlameSaf line includes technologies for safe explosion risk management, suitable for end-of-line and in-line applications.
Compliance and Standards
BS&B products comply with OSHA, NFPA standards, and the European ATEX Directive.
