Performance Features

  • Unique, two-way acting HiLo disk prevents vessel damage from overpressure or implosion under vacuum
  • Vacuum pressure relief through reverse buckling of the disk (lo-side)
  • Positive pressure relief through forward acting burst of the disk (hi-side)
  • Available in sizes 2 to 12 inches (50 to 300 mm)
  • Temperature capability up to 400°F (200°C)
  • Set pressures starting at 5 inch water column and up (12.5 mBar)
  • Gas service (acceptable for liquid service with a compressible gas / vapor pocket between the liquid and disk. Minimum 20 pipe diameter gas volume on process and vent side of disk)
  • TSE-BSE Free
  • BS&B proprietary technology
