What is Rupture Disc?
The rupture disc is device that is created to function by the burst of a disc that holds pressure.
This is an extremely thin and circular membrane typically comprised of plastic, metal or graphite. It is tightly fixed in the disc holder. Once the process has reached the pressure at which it can rupture the disc, the disc breaks and the pressure is released.
Rupture discs are often utilized in sequence (upstream) together with relief valves to stop corrosion-causing fluids from coming into contact with the parts made of metal in the valve. Furthermore, this system is an open system.
