SKR-U Reverse Buckling Disk

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SKR-U™ Rupture Disk is designed for high integrity reverse buckling in a threaded union-type holder, partnered with the UR-2™ Safety Head. It utilizes Saf™ technology for precise burst pressure control, minimizing sensitivity to assembly torque variations.
Specifications: The UR-2 Safety Head is available in sizes 1/2", 3/4", and 1" with standard NPT thread configurations. The SKR-U Rupture Disks are identified by size and come with 3-D metal identification tags. The disk features a +/-5% burst pressure accuracy, compatibility with gas or liquid, low flow resistance, and a fail-safe design with a Damage Safety Ratio ≤1.
Materials & Set Pressures: The rupture disk is made from materials like Nickel, 316 SS, Inconel, Hastelloy, Tantalum, Monel, and Titanium, with burst pressures ranging from 55 to 90 psig. Fluorocarbon film liners are available for additional corrosion protection.
Temperature Limits: The UR-2 Safety Head can withstand temperatures up to 700°F, with specific limits for Titanium (572°F) and Tantalum (500°F). Fluorocarbon liners have temperature limits of 400°F to 500°F depending on the material.
Design & Installation: The SKR-U Rupture Disk features a unique hinge and tag design for use in screw-type holders. It includes a circular score line for precise opening at burst pressure. The UR-2 Safety Head includes a pre-assembly feature for easy installation and optional threaded connections for monitoring downstream pressure.
Pressure Tolerances: Burst tolerance is +/-5% or +/-2 psi for disks rated below 40 psi. Manufacturing Design Range (MDR) options include 0, -5%, and -10%, providing flexibility in pressure settings.
Sealing & Pressure Rating: The SKR-U Safety Head uses a 'bite-type' seal for leak-tight installation, with a gasket ensuring downstream sealing. The UR-2 holder has a design pressure of 1,000 psi, exceeding the disk's maximum burst pressure.
Compliance: The SKR-U and UR-2 conform to international standards such as ASME, ISO, BS, TUV, and others, ensuring global applicability and safety compliance.

SKR-U Reverse Buckling Disk -2

The SKR-U™ Rupture Disk is partnered with the UR-2™ Safety Head to provide high integrity reverse buckling rupture disk technology in a threaded union type holder. The SKR-U Rupture Disk uses Saf™ technology (structural apex forming) to accurately control its burst pressure making it insensitive to the assembly torque variations that will occur in a threaded type holder. The UR-2 Safety Head is available in three standard nominal sizes: 1/2"/15mm, 3/4"/20mm, and 1"/25mm. Standard inlet & outlet female threads are 1/2", 3/4", and 1" NPT. Custom thread configurations are available. The SKR-U Rupture...

Fluorocarbon film liners are available as an additional corrosion barrier attached to the inlet side of the SKR-U Rupture Disk. FEP is the standard liner material. PFA and PTFE may be available upon special request. Teflon® materials are typically used. Teflon® is a DuPont trademark. Temperature The design temperature for the UR-2 Union Safety Head is 700 deg F/371 deg C. All of the standard holder and rupture disk materials are available up to this limit except for Titanium & Tantalum. Titanium is limited to 572 deg F/300 deg C, and Tantalum is limited to 500 deg F/260 deg C. The temperature...

Torque Drive Adapter Accurate torque control on a large hexagon can be difficult. BS&B Safety Systems can provide a Torque Drive Adapter for use with all UR-2 Safety Heads (one adapter for all sizes). This adapter permits the use of a standard torque wrench for control of installation load through tightening of the external hexagon nut. The torque drive adapter is available as an accessory. © 2000 BS&B Safety Systems, L.L.C.
