A rupture disk, also known as a pressure safety disc, burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a non-reclosing pressure relief safety device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from overpressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions. Designed as safety devices to protect vacuum systems against back fill overpressure, MDC Precision’s burst discs include:
- Positive pressure burst disc designed to burst at a positive pressure in the range from over atmosphere to 25 psig, with rupture certain to occor over 25 psig
- ASME BDA-series ASME-UD certified burst discs for pressure relief above atmospheric pressure
- Low pressure (LP) BDA-series burst discs for pressure relief below atmospheric pressure
Designed for use in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) applications, MDC burst discs feature all-metal stainless steel construction and provide overpressure protection of systems with optional gas recovery and protecting your system from overpressurization.
