GT Bursting DISC

Bursting discs are devices installed in the chemical processes to protect lines and equipment against over or underpressure.

Specifics

  • It reacts to the excess pressure without inertia, making the opening immediately free for discharge of the pressure.
  • When working with corrosive fluids, there is no corrosion or efficiency loss throughout time.
  • Pressure safety valves might get corroded and lose efficiency and reliability throughout time.
  • Bursting discs are significantly smaller than safety valves.
  • It can be mounted in every position.
  • Differently from safety valve it can also protect from depression.
  • Differently from safety valve it does not require periodical checks for the calibration.
  • It has a high availability of diameters.
  • The costs for a bursting disc are lower than those for a safety valve.
  • There are no leakages during operation.
  • Extremely reliable
