Introduction to Rupture Discs:The document discusses two types of rupture discs: MICRO X and Composite, which are safety devices designed to protect systems from overpressure by bursting at a predetermined pressure.
MICRO X Rupture Disc:This disc features a flat seat, cross-scored design for a full, non-fragmenting opening pattern, with a smooth inlet surface to resist corrosion.
Composite Rupture Disc:Used with a Unisert Holder, it includes a metallic top section and seal, featuring a patented seven-hole design for non-fragmenting performance across various pressures.
UNISERT Assembly:A rupture disc holder that enhances sealing capabilities and accommodates both MICRO X and Composite discs, allowing flexibility without replacing the holder.
Installation Features:Includes alignment pins, a J-Hook for orientation, a stainless steel nameplate, and flow direction tags for correct installation verification.
Material and Temperature Specifications:Available in materials like 316 Stainless Steel, Monel, Nickel, and Inconel, with specified maximum temperature limits for proper selection.
Pressure Ranges and Burst Tolerances:Tables outline burst pressures and tolerances for MICRO X and Composite discs, ensuring precise performance.
Additional Features:Protective liners, rings, and vacuum supports enhance durability and performance in corrosive or vacuum conditions.
Specifications:Burst pressure ratings and manufacturing ranges are detailed, with adjustments for pressures below and above 50 psig. Special reduced ranges are available upon request.
B.D.I.® Alarm System:Provides immediate notification of pressure relief, compatible with various designs, and triggers alarms upon disc rupture.
Code Compliance:Manufactured in compliance with codes like ASME, DIN, EN, BSI, and JIS, with authorization to use the ASME Code Symbol Stamp.
Flow Performance Certification:Certified by The National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, with an ASME accepted flow laboratory for testing.
Holder Specifications:Ordering details include quantity, size, bolting class, material, and options, with a design that protects the disc during installation.
Quality Assurance/Documentation:Includes ASME Code tests, special cleaning, packaging, tagging, temperature testing, and material test reports.
Operating Specifications:Details required include maximum allowable working pressure, operating pressure and temperature, vacuum/backpressure, cycle conditions, and media type.
