Rupture Disks protect fluids systems from overpressurization.
Press Release Summary:
Series URA can be used in liquid or gas systems and functions at very high or low burst ratings. Disks come in 316 stainless steel, hastelloy, monel, inconel, or nickel in sizes from 1-8 in. Reverse acting design results in system pressure being applied to convex side of dome, enhancing performance in systems with frequent cycling needs. Disks include 3D flow arrows and locating notch to ensure proper orientation within system.
Original Press Release:
Reverse Acting Rupture Disk Protects Fluids Systems Against Overpressurization
The URA Series, a rupture disk that can be used in liquid or gas systems and functions at very high or low burst ratings, is now available from ZOOK.
Versatility is a key feature. The URA is suited for up to 95 percent of typical fluid system applications. Its design allows it to be used in place of several different types of rupture disks, allowing users to reduce costs by minimizing stocking needs. URA disks range in size from 1" to 8" and are available in 316 stainless steel, hastelloy, monel, inconel and nickel. A model with optional TFE lining is available to provide additional corrosion protection.
The URA's reverse acting design, which results in system pressure being applied to the convex side of the dome, enhances the unit's performance in systems with frequent cycling needs. Unlike most reverse acting disks, the URA Series has a scoreless design for greater durability. When actuated, the disk will not fragment.
The disk is easy to install, resulting in a high degree of operating safety. Features include 3-dimensional flow arrows and a locating notch that ensures proper orientation within the system. Maintenance personnel can assemble the disk and the holder prior to installation.
The URA Series is ASME-certified and is ideal for use in a wide range of fluid systems, including those found in the chemical, oil and gas, food, pharmaceutical, power, pulp and paper, and plastics industries.
