Problem Solving and Custom Design
The company specializes in custom design, addressing unique applications like air conditioning units, oxygen supply systems, and space shuttles. Their Product Development and Special Products Groups integrate designs into client systems, handling special materials and extreme pressure conditions.

Rupture Discs
Rupture discs are non-reclosing devices for instantaneous pressure relief, serving as primary or secondary relief devices. They are manufactured under an ISO 9001 Certified Quality System, with Tension Type and Reverse Acting designs offering specific operational benefits.

Manufacturing and Specifications
Rupture discs are available with pressure ranges from 6” water column to 80,000 psig and temperatures from cryogenic to 1000°F. Manufacturing range and burst tolerance are tailored to customer requirements, with special reduced ranges available.

High Pressure Assemblies and Materials
For high pressure systems, the company offers materials like stainless steel, Monel, Nickel, Inconel, and Hastelloy C, with exotic alloys like titanium for advanced applications.

Non-Fragmenting Designs and Hermetic Seals
Non-fragmenting rupture discs are designed to prevent fragmentation, and hermetic seals are achieved through specialized welding for leak-proof performance.

Unique Applications
In aerospace and defense, the company provides lightweight aluminum designs and throwaway units for electronics protection, considering weight and material criticality.

Customer Service and Quality Assurance
Continental Disc Corporation offers technical assistance, training, and an emergency shipping program. Their quality assurance program complies with ISO 9001 and other international standards.

CUSTOMIZED FOR SPECIFIC NEEDS High Pressure Assemblies Non-Fragmenting Designs Hermetic Seals In the chemical industry, many applications require high pressure systems in order to obtain specific chemical reactions. Many varieties of mating connections are available to meet the high pressure sealing requirements of processing systems, as shown in photo “ A ” below. High pressure rupture disc assemblies used in the plastic and rubber extrusion industry often require materials from one mil (.001”) to sheet or plate thickness. Some examples are shown in photo “ B ”. Continental Disc Corporation...

Unique Applications In aerospace and aircraft applications, weight restrictions of system components often dictate the type of rupture disc design and/or materials used. In photo “E ”, a threaded design is used, encapsulating the replaceable rupture disc within an aluminum body. The light weight characteristics of aluminum make it possible to meet the weight restriction specified. Some unique applications are developed for “one-time use” and are thrown away when the rupture disc has burst. The assembly in photo “F ” is a throwaway unit and provides protection for a pressure blanket on electronics...
