After activation, the replacement disk is quickly slid into place. Saving hours of lost production due to blown rupture disks.
A gauge tap in the outlet flange of the safety head may be considered when the safety head is installed in a vertical position.
When activated, the jackscrews effectively separate the flanges, providing adequate clearance to remove or insert a safety head and external gaskets.
Eye bolts are recommended when weight and/or accessibility is a factor in lifting safety heads.
When a safety head is free-vented to atmosphere, a baffle plate may be considered to disperse overpressure and absorb recoil.
Surge resistant Sales Brochure (bursting discs) for railroad tank cars
A range of sensors suitable for different rupture disk types used to provide immediate warning of a ruptured disk., #77-1003
The SR-TC™ Reverse Rupture Disk (Bursting Disc) will resist overpressure surges* of 125% to 140% of the rated burst pressure for up to 0.5 seconds duration. Greater surge protection may be expected for shorter surge duration. The SR-TC™ Rupture Disk (Bursting Disc) offers extended disk service life where the disk may be subjected to 'humping" action or when rapid deceleration of an OTR trailer occurs.*The value of the over pressure surge depends on the disk's burst pressure rating.
Standard disk materials are Stainless Steel grade 316 & Inconel® (Nickel alloy 600). Other materials are available on request. All standard disks are available with 0%, 5%, and 10% manufacturing ranges.
The slotted top section is protected by a tank car ring which also ensures burst accuracy. A vacuum support prevents damage to the disk, should the disk be subjected to vacuum during unloading or while the tank car is in transit. A spacer ring is located above the FEP/P'TFE seal and the top section.
The SR-TC™ Reverse Rupture Disk (Bursting Disc) may be installed directly on to standard threaded or bolted type tank car fittings.
The BS&B global team appreciate the support of our customers and suppliers during this challenging time.
