Reverse Acting Rupture Discs operate up to 250,000 cycles.April 30, 2010 -
Differential pressure relief HPX(TM) and HPX SANITARY rupture discs can be pressurized from full vacuum up to 90% or 95% of rated burst pressure under normal operating conditions. Instantaneous full-open, non-reclosing design protects equipment, vessels, systems, and people from overpressure conditions. Meeting ASME BPE criteria, HPX SANITARY discs suit pharmaceutical, biotech, and food/beverage industries. Both devices are offered in range of burst pressures, materials, and sizes.
