Product catalog summary
Overview
Fike Corporation offers the ValveGuard concept, utilizing rupture discs to protect pressure relief valves (PRVs), reduce maintenance costs, and control emissions.
Specifications and Features
- Fike rupture discs protect PRVs from corrosive media, extending their service life.
- The Axius rupture disc features a 95% operating ratio and high pulsating tolerance, suitable for high pressure and cycling conditions.
- A tall holddown is recommended to prevent disc petals from affecting valve function.
Cost Analysis
- Initial costs are offset by reduced maintenance and repair expenses.
- Significant savings per turnaround are demonstrated when using Fike rupture discs compared to unprotected valves.
Environmental and Regulatory Compliance
- Fike rupture discs aid compliance with global emissions guidelines, such as the US Clean Air Act and European Directive 2003/87/EC.
- They can lead to exemptions from PRV monitoring requirements and reduce fugitive emission fines.
Benefits
- Reduced downtime and maintenance costs.
- Increased production efficiency and potential cost savings.
- Enhanced environmental protection and compliance with emissions standards.
Contact Information
Fike Corporation provides contact details for regions including the Americas, Europe, Middle East/Africa, and Asia.
Introduction
Fike rupture discs are leak-proof and effective in vapor and liquid applications, enhancing overall process efficiency by protecting PRVs.
Environmental Protection and Emission Control
Fike rupture discs help industries comply with air quality standards and emission regulations, significantly reducing emissions and leading to cost savings.
The Axius Advantage
The Axius rupture disc withstands full vacuum and operates efficiently beyond normal ranges, reducing emissions and energy expenses.
Cost Analysis and Savings
Fike rupture discs reduce the need for expensive valve internals and minimize unscheduled downtime, with potential savings of $57,950 per turnaround for facilities using 100 PRVs.
Conclusion
Fike rupture discs offer a reliable, cost-effective solution for PRV protection, emission reduction, and regulatory compliance, with initial investments quickly offset by maintenance and operational savings.

GREATER SAVINGS: It is possible to eliminate the use of more exotic valve internals (i.e. Hastelloy®) necessary for harsh or corrosive process environments, when using a disc assembly manufactured from the same material. Other HIDDEN COST Considerations: • Using more expensive Prvs than necessary • Unscheduled outage/downtime for damaged Prvs • loss of product or process media • Fugitive emission fines • Expensive Prv inventory WaNT TO ESTImaTE yOur SavINgS uSINg fIkE rupTurE DISCS TO guarD yOur valvES?
