New Current Interesting Link: Rupture Disks

See www.pipingdesign.com

<<A rupture disk is a non-mechanical overpressure relief device that ruptures when its rating is attained. Disks perform as a designed "weak spot" in a pressure system. When pressure exceeds established safe operating limits, the system must manage the over-pressure. When over-pressure occurs, the relief system-consisting of valves, rupture disks, or both- functions by discharging excess pressure to a predetermined safe location.>> Received on Sun Sep 26 11:10:00 2004
