Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides detailed specifications and guidelines for the Type D Composite Rupture Disks and BS&B Quick-Sert Safety Head. These components are designed for safety applications in pressure systems, ensuring controlled rupture under specified conditions.
Specifications:
  • Type D Rupture Disks: Composed of a slotted metal top section with a metal or fluorocarbon seal, designed for tension loading. Suitable for gas and liquid service, operating up to 80% of the marked burst pressure, and available in sizes from 1 to 44 inches.
  • Pressure Ratings: Disks are tested to rupture within specified pressure limits, ranging from 2.5 psig to over 500 psig, with corresponding bar values.
  • Temperature Range: Varies by seal material, with FEP fluoropolymer seals operating from -40°F to 400°F, TFE seals up to 500°F, and metal seals from -320°F to 1000°F.
Design Features:
  • Non-fragmentation design for safety.
  • Flange insert or union style angular seat holder configuration.
  • Available in various materials including 316ss, Inconel®, Monel®, Hastelloy®, titanium, and tantalum.
Safety Head Specifications:
  • BS&B Quick-Sert Safety Head is compatible with ANSI pipe flanges and features angular seating design for both type B solid metal disks and type D composite disks.
  • Available in sizes from 1/2 to 44 inches ID, with pressure ratings from 0.5 to 6000 psig at 72°F.
  • Standard materials include carbon steel, 304 and 316 stainless steel, with special materials available upon request.
Installation and Handling:
  • Various disk types (DV, DR, DRR, DSV, DRSV, PLD) are recommended based on specific conditions such as vacuum support and handling ease.
  • Protective rings and vacuum supports are available in materials like nickel, aluminum, and fluoropolymer film.
Additional Information:
  • For elevated temperature exposure, refer to temperature conversion tables and pressure/temperature rating tables.
  • Contact information for global offices is provided for further inquiries and support.

Forward Acting Tension Loaded Disks Tension Loaded Solid Metal Rupture Disks Type DTM Series Disk Types Type D rupture disks consist of a slotted metal top section and either a metal or fluorocarbon seal. Pressure is applied to the concave side, subjecting the disk to tension loading. When vacuum is involved in any amount, a vacuum support is required. Adding a ring to the outlet side aids handling and installation, and is a type DRV disk. Ring material is nickel, aluminum, Monel® or 316ss. At low burst pressures a type DR rupture disk is recommnded to aid handling and installation ring material...
