Product catalog summary
Introduction
Continental Disc Corporation specializes in reverse acting rupture discs and holders for overpressure protection in industrial applications. These devices provide instantaneous, non-reclosing pressure relief to protect equipment and systems.

Specifications and Features
The LOTRX® and RCS® rupture discs are solid metal, scored, reverse acting devices with a 90% maximum recommended operating ratio, non-fragmenting design, and alignment aids for installation. They are available with a zero manufacturing range and are suitable for gas and liquid applications.

Optimum Flow and Corrosive Protection
Designed with precision-controlled indentations, these rupture discs ensure a clean and consistent opening pattern, optimizing flow conditions. They are resistant to corrosive environments, with options for DuPont™ Teflon® fluoropolymer liners or coatings.

Safety and Benefits
The rupture discs provide pressure relief at or below the rated burst pressure, ensuring safety even if damaged during installation. They are ideal for primary and secondary system relief protection and help control fugitive emissions.

HPX® Product Family
The HPX® Rupture Disc Product Family includes high precision pressure relieving devices suitable for various industries, offering advanced features and a long service life.

Code Compliance
LOTRX and RCS rupture discs comply with ASME Code Sections III or VIII and other standards as required. They are available with CE marking in compliance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23 EC.

LOTRX® Rupture Disc
