Reverse Acting Rupture Discs and Holders 3

Product catalog summary

Overview: Continental Disc Corporation manufactures rupture discs for overpressure protection in industries like chemical, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical. Key products include ULTRX, MINTRX, STAR X, and LOTRX rupture discs.

Specifications: Customers must specify quantity, size, type, materials, options, vacuum or back pressure, specified pressure/temperature, and manufacturing range when ordering. Compliance with ASME, DIN, EN, and other codes is ensured, along with special cleaning, packaging, and testing requirements.

Operating Specifications: Important parameters include maximum allowable working pressure, operating pressure and temperature, vacuum/backpressure, cycle conditions, flow rate, media, molecular weight, and specific gravity to ensure proper selection of rupture discs and holders.

Product Features: Rupture discs have a zero manufacturing range and operate at 90% of the rated burst pressure. Made from solid metal for corrosion resistance, they include encapsulating rings for a leak-tight seal.

Code Compliance: Products comply with international codes like ASME, ISO, DIN, and others. The company is authorized to use the ASME Code Symbol Stamp and provides certified flow resistance factors and minimum net flow area values.

B.D.I. Alarm System: The Burst Disc Indicator (B.D.I.) Alarm System alerts users to pressure relief by disrupting an electrical current when a rupture disc bursts. It is resistant to corrosives and operates over a wide temperature range.

Reverse Acting Rupture Discs: These discs have precision-controlled indentations for optimal flow and are suitable for corrosive environments, providing pressure relief at or below the rated burst pressure.

Holder Assemblies: Detailed specifications for holder sizes and weights ensure compatibility with various flange classes and sizes.

Contact Information: Continental Disc Corporation has global offices providing technical assistance, training, and support.

Overview of Rupture Discs: The document details MINTRX, ULTRX, STAR X, and LOTRX rupture discs, used as pressure relief devices to protect equipment from overpressure conditions.

MINTRX Rupture Disc: Suitable for low-pressure gaseous or partial gas/liquid systems, available in sizes from 1" to 8".

ULTRX Rupture Disc: A scored, reverse-acting disc for gaseous and liquid systems, available in sizes from 1" to 12".

STAR X Rupture Disc: Designed for low-pressure applications, available in sizes from 1" to 6".

LOTRX Rupture Disc: Ideal for extremely low-pressure applications, available in sizes from 1" to 8".

Rupture Disc Holders: Holder assemblies provide a leak-tight seal and proper orientation for rupture discs, available in various materials and configurations.

Specifications and Standards: The document outlines manufacturing range, performance tolerance, and maximum operating pressures for rupture discs, along with recommended maximum temperature limits for different materials.

Key Features: Operation up to 90% of burst rating, zero manufacturing range as standard, non-fragmenting design, and conformance to international codes.

Tables and Data: Includes tables detailing rupture disc rating methods, maximum recommended temperature limits, and holder specifications for various materials and sizes.

Specifications: Table III details minimum and maximum burst pressures at 72°F (22°C) for various disc sizes, with pressures in psig and barg.

Procedures and Recommendations: Consultation with a representative is recommended for higher or lower pressures and sizes, and for options like stainless steel encapsulating rings, Teflon lining, or materials like tantalum or aluminum for enhanced protection.

Notes: Emphasizes the importance of consulting with a representative for specific requirements, indicating customization and additional options are available.
