| Abstract:
Bursting safety discs made in the Polish RTD Institute provide an
excellent protection against excessive pressure for all types of
chemical apparatus, tanks or special equipment, and in some means of
transport an additional protection to safety valves. All discs:
diameters from 25 to 600 mm, are supplied with PTFE sheeting on one
or both sides, ready for installation, officially accepted as a
safety device. They are looking for industrial partners for
manufacturing agreements. |
| Description:
Bursting safety discs have a simple monobloc shape and a rim that
is sufficiently thick to prevent deformation of the membrane (patent
R.P.98117). Carbo-graphite has a mechanical characteristic that
allows it to be used at excess-pressures or under-pressure for long
periods without effect on the ultimate strength. The safety discs
developed by the Polish RTD Institute are especially useful for the
majority of corrosive fluids, also for liquids with a great density
or viscosity, and for fluids with inclination to polymerisation.
The CEBEA has studied various aspects of safety disc
applications for many years. They have taken into account: material
selection, geometrical factors, type of pressure seal etc. As a
result they can guarantee a tolerance to effective bursting pressure
within ¹ 10 % of the value specified for each disc.
Safety discs
are used in the chemical and food industry as well as in cisterns
for shipping, railway and road transport.
Innovative
Aspects:
- Good resistance to the corrosive fluids because of
the additional application of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)
-
Standard diameters of safety discs up to 600 mm
- Total
effective bursting pressure range from 0,08 to 40 bars
Main
Advantages:
The application of the safety discs assures:
-
Good precision of the effective bursting pressure tolerance within ¹
10 %
- No ageing of the discs
- Operational reliability
- Easy adaptation for vacuum operation
- Extremely simple
