SANITARY FITTING ASSEMBLY

Product catalog summary
Sanitary Fitting Holder Configurations
There are four configurations available: FSS, FS2, FS3, and SCS. All models feature flat seat designs and are compatible with rupture disc sizes from 1" to 10", except the SCS model, which is limited to 1" to 4". Standard materials include 316 or 316L stainless steel, with other materials available upon request. All models support B.D.I. alarm compatibility and are suitable for both gas and liquid applications.
Sanitary Fitting Assembly
The assembly is designed to protect systems from overpressure, applicable in industries such as dairy, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. The FSS, FS2, and FS3 models include a rupture disc, a sanitary holder, and a quick-release clamp. The SCS model features a CLEAN-SWEEP body, ideal for viscous media.
Model Configurations
  • FSS: Straight through configuration with matching rupture disc and tube sizes.
  • FS2: Inlet reducing configuration for increased rupture disc size to meet burst pressure requirements.
  • FS3: Inlet and outlet reducing configuration with reduced connection sizes.
  • SCS: CLEAN-SWEEP holder for viscous media, minimizing buildup under the rupture disc.
Rupture Discs
Composite (SF) and Micro X (CS) rupture discs are available, offering excellent corrosion resistance and a wide range of burst ratings. The Composite disc features a patented seven-hole design for non-fragmenting performance, while the Micro X disc provides a full, non-fragmenting opening pattern.
Additional Features
Options include protective liners, coatings, and vacuum supports. Manufacturing ranges and burst tolerances adhere to ASME Code standards. Each rupture disc comes with a burst certificate and tagging for identification.
Specifications and Recommendations
The document specifies burst rating, temperature rating, and customer identification information for sanitary fitting holders. The recommended maximum temperature is 250°F (121°C). For higher temperatures, factory consultation is advised.
Burst Disc Indicator (B.D.I.) Alarm System
The patented B.D.I. Alarm System provides immediate notification of pressure relief, triggering an electrical signal for audio/visual warnings when a rupture disc bursts. It is compatible with Composite (SF) rupture discs and includes a Teflon membrane with conductors. For other disc types, factory consultation is recommended.
Pressure Ranges
Tables VI and V provide minimum burst pressures for Micro X (CS) and Composite (SF) or (CS) rupture discs, listed in both psig and barg for various disc sizes and materials.
Ordering Information
To order the correct rupture disc and holder, provide details such as quantity, disc type and size, connection sizes, materials, options, specified burst pressure, temperature, and manufacturing range. Indicate if a non-fragmenting disc is required.
Operating Specifications
Include Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (M.A.W.P.), operating pressure and temperature, vacuum/back pressure conditions, cycle conditions, flow rate, process media, and molecular weight/specific gravity.
Quality Assurance/Documentation
Options include ASME Code tests, special cleaning/packaging, special tagging, and material test reports.
Contact Information
Continental Disc Corporation has offices worldwide, including in the USA, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Dubai, and China. Contact details for each location are provided for further inquiries.

CLEAN-SWEEP HOLDER CONFIGURATION The sanitary tting CLEAN-SWEEP is designed to handle viscous type media with physical properties that may cause product to collect or build up under the rupture disc during normal operation. The CLEAN-SWEEP assembly may also be used to help keep product media in suspension. With the rupture disc located adjacent to the process ow line, product sweeps across the concave surface of the rupture disc, minimizing process media build up or helping to maintain particle suspension. The sanitary tting CLEAN-SWEEP is designed to use either Micro X > or Composite at seat...

SANITARY FITTING ASSEMBLY-5

Sanitary Fitting Holders FSS, FS2 and FS3 are designed to use Continental's Composite (SF) rupture disc, which is a at seat con guration. The SCS holder is designed to use either a Composite (CS) or Micro X (CS) rupture disc, both of which are a at seat con guration. What is a Composite (SF) and (CS) Rupture Disc? Composite Rupture Disc Types > Continental Disc Corporation manu-factures several types of prebulged at seat rupture discs. The CDC is the basic Composite rupture disc and consists of a slotted metal top section, with a Te on or metal seal on the process side of the top section. The...

Gaskets Gaskets may be used to provide additional sealing and prevent leakage through the seating area of a scratched or pitted holder. They are located on the process side of the rupture disc and are usually manufactured of Te on. Other materials are available upon request. A process side gasket is required when a rupture disc is used in Sanitary Fitting FSS, FS2 or FS3 holders. > Protective Rings חProtective rings may be used with rupture discs made of thin materials or in instances where delicate liners or seals are used. These rings protect the rupture disc from foreign material in the sealing...

White bar indicates psigӔ Gray bar indicates דbarg Notes for Table V:1. Minimum pressures in the table are based upon the minimum of the manufacturing range at 72԰F (22C). Composite rupture discs speci ed at a minimum setting will have the manufac- turing range added above the minimum pressure.Example: A 3 inch (80mm) CDC (SF) or (CS) rupture disc with a FEP seal requested to burst at 8 psig (0,55 barg) @ 72аF (22C) would have a standard manufacturing range of 8 psig (0,55 barg) to 14.4 psig (1,0 barg). The manufac- turing range is added above the minimum pressure.2. A Te on gasket installed...
