Original Press Release:
Indicators Allow Remote Monitoring of Rupture Disks
Rupture Disk Indicators that provide plant personnel with immediate notification when a rupture disk bursts or a relief valve opens are now available from ZOOK. The RDI Series Indicator can be used with metal or graphite rupture disks and is compatible with virtually any system media. This device can be used as part of a digital communication center or linked to a monitoring system such as the ZOOK ZM2 Alarm Monitor.
The RDI Series features an electrical circuit embedded within a Kapton membrane. When overpressurization causes the indicator's membrane to rupture, the circuit is broken. The change in voltage or resistance to current then activates the monitoring system.
The low-cost unit is shipped ready for installation and includes a 6' PTFE sheathed lead wire. It installs easily onto the vent side of a metal or graphite rupture disk assembly or the discharge side of a relief valve. The RDI Series requires no maintenance and can be used with a wide range of fluid systems at temperatures ranging from -40 to +392 degrees F. Sizes range from 1" to 24."
ZOOK is a leading supplier of products that protect manufacturing and process systems from the effects of overpressurization. In addition to rupture disk indicators, the company also manufactures metal and graphite rupture disks, explosion vent panels, burst sensors, and alarm monitoring systems.
