Rupture Discs (Bursting Discs) Rupture Discs (Bursting Discs) function as a pre-designed "weak point" in a pressurized system, and they should be the strongest part of your pressure protection system. Continental Disc Corp's rupture discs (bursting discs) utilize innovative and patented designs, the highest quality materials from traceable sources, and ISO 9001 manufacturing procedures performed by skilled craftsmen. Why Choose a Rupture Disc?? Aside from instantaneous full relief, zero leakage and lower operating costs. Rupture discs (bursting discs) are a failsafe relief device and that is a significant advantage if the purpose of your relief device is protection of personal and equipment. Valves can stick, corrode, be damaged or miss assembled when serviced. All of which can result in a failure to relieve and result in a potentially catastrophic outcome. HPX rupture discs are a fail safe design which, regardless of damage, corrosion and age, will still burst at or below it's certified value. Rupture Disc Advantages and Benefits
Products:
HPX® - Continental Rupture Discs The HPX® Rupture Disc excels in fully liquid, gaseous and partial gas/liquid systems. Full opening guaranteed. Features include:
SANITRX® HPX - Continental Rupture Discs The SANITRX HPX® rupture disc (bursting disc) is a scored reverse acting rupture disc (bursting disc) designed specifically for the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and biotech industries. This differential pressure relief device features an instantaneous full-open relief area for protecting equipment, vessels, systems and people from an overpressure condition. This high precision reverse acting rupture disc (bursting disc) offers proven performance in excess of 5 Million cycles at a 95% operating ratio. SANITRX HPX® Rupture Discs comply with essential criteria of ASME BPE and USP Class VI and is independantly evaluated to SIL 4, IEC 61508. SANITRX HPX Data Sheet 3/4" SANITRX Data Sheet
SRA - Continental Rupture Discs The Screw-Type assembly is a reusable disc holder for systems pressurized up to 15,000 psig, and the Tite-Seal is a sealed, disposable unit for systems under 3,000 psig. Both are designed for miniature applications like A/C and refrigeration units, gas cylinders and portable compressed-air systems. The Tite-Seal assembly features a rupture disc sealed between brass fittings. After relieving an overpressure condition, change-out is easily performed by replacing the entire assembly. Tite-Seal/Screw Type Data Sheet HPX-Ta (Tantalum) - Continental Rupture Discs The HPX-Ta™ Rupture Disc (bursting disc) is a Tantalum semicircular scored reverse acting rupture disc designed specifically for use in highly corrosive media, such as bromine, chlorine, HCL, nitric acid or sulfuric acid. In certain concentrations, temperatures and moisture conditions, Tantalum is frequently the only suitable rupture disc material for the application.
LOTRX® - Continental Rupture Discs The LOTRX® Rupture Disc (bursting disc) is a scored reverse acting rupture disc (bursting disc) that utilizes failure initiating indents, a highly accurate manufacturing method to achieve and control a burst pressure at close tolerances, plus a precision semicircular score to provide a clean, consistent opening pattern. The LOTRX® Rupture Disc (bursting disc) is designed for extremely low pressure applications below the range of the HPX® Rupture Disc product family. Burst pressure as low as of 0.1 bar STAR X® - Continental Rupture Discs The STAR X Rupture Disc (bursting disc) is designed to provide protection at even lower burst pressures than the ULTRX or MINTRX rupture discs. It has Continental Disc's patented non-symmetrical failure initiating indents, to precisely control disc buckling at a predetermined pressure. The STAR X Rupture Disc incorporates a handling ring to reduce torque sensitivity. It is specifically designed for low pressure applications that require operating ratio of up to 90% of the disc's rated (marked) burst pressure. MINTRX® - Continental Rupture Discs The MINTRX Rupture Disc (bursting disc) has many of the same benefits as the HPX Rupture Disc, but is specifically designed to operate at lower burst pressures. When the patented precision controlled indentation on the rupture disc surface initiates the reversal action, full opening will occur.. Note: For replacement only. HPX now exceeds the ability and performance of Mintrx RCS - Continental Rupture Discs The RCS Rupture Disc (bursting disc)is a reverse acting, cross-scored, solid metal rupture disc (bursting disc), providing reliable pressure relief protection, easy installation, and retrofit to your pre-existing piping arrangement. Available in sizes outside the range of the HPX® Rupture Disc product family. SANITRX® LPX - Continental Rupture Discs The SANITRX® LPX is a stainless steel, reverse acting rupture disc (bursting disc) designed specifically for the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and biotech industries. This differential pressure relief device features an
instantaneous full-open relief area for protecting
equipment, vessels, systems and people from an
overpressure condition. SANITRX LPX Data Sheet
SANITRX® HPX II - Continental Rupture Discs The SANITRX HPX® II Rupture Disc is a semicircular, scored, reverse acting rupture disc (bursting disc) designed specifically for applications in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage and biotech industries that require pressures above our SANITRX HPX® Rupture Disc. Available in sizes 1 ½” to 4,” this rupture disc is available to fit between standard sanitary ferrules, NA CONNECT® flanges or SANITRX® fittings. SANITRX HPX® II rupture discs are shipped in sanitary, environmentally friendly, non-toxic packaging.
SANITRX® LP - Continental Rupture Discs For applications that require lower pressures with reduced flow resistance, Continental Disc offers the SANITRX LP® Rupture Disc (bursting disc). This new rupture disc was designed specifically to provide the same features as the original SANITRX® Rupture Disc, but with the added benefit of lower available burst pressures plus, through the benefit of using our on-site ASME Accepted Flow Test Laboratory, the SANITRX LP® Rupture Disc has been designed to have one of the lowest KR flow resistance factors available in a rupture disc of any design - from any manufacturer. SANITRX HPX® Rupture Discs comply with
essential criteria of ASME BPE and USP Class VI.
