How to Use Rupture Disc?

2025-11-07

In industrial production, rupture disc, as an important part of the pressure safety protection system, relies on the characteristics of fast response and reliable pressure relief, and has become an indispensable safety device in the chemical, petroleum, electric power, pharmaceutical and other industries. Therefore, the correct use of rupture disc is very important for equipment safety, enterprise operating costs and risk control capabilities. In this article, I will introduce you to the main points of using rupture disc.


The working principle of rupture disc is based on the plastic deformation or fracture characteristics of the material. When the pressure in the system exceeds a predetermined value, the rupture disc will quickly break, releasing excessive pressure to prevent the equipment from exploding or leaking due to overpressure. This pressure relief process seems very simple, but in fact it involves complex engineering design and technical specifications. The selection of rupture disc needs to be combined with the operating parameters of the equipment, the characteristics of the medium and the process requirements to make a comprehensive judgment. For example, corrosive media need to be made of corrosion-resistant alloys, and flammable and explosive environments need to consider the sealing performance and electrostatic protection of rupture disc. In addition, different types of rupture disc have obvious differences in response speed, pressure accuracy, applicable temperature, etc., and need to be judged and selected according to specific operating conditions.

In the installation process, the correct assembly of the rupture disc is the key to the function of the device. The installation process of rupture disc needs to strictly follow national standards and product specifications, keep the sealing surface clean and the bolts are tightened evenly, and avoid early rupture or leakage caused by improper installation. It is worth noting that rupture disc usually needs to be used in conjunction with other safety devices such as safety valves to form a multi-level protection system. In addition, the pressure setting, discharge capacity matching and installation layout between the devices all need to undergo rigorous engineering calculations to enable the entire safety system to be coordinated and reliable.


Of course, the maintenance and management of rupture disc during use cannot be ignored. Rupture disc is a disposable safety device and must be replaced in time after reaching its service life or under abnormal pressure. It is best for an enterprise to establish a sound equipment file and inspection system to record the installation date, working pressure, media condition and other information of the rupture disc, and regularly conduct visual inspections and stress tests on the rupture disc. At the same time, operators should also receive professional training to master the operating principle, exception identification and emergency handling process of rupture disc, so as to be able to respond quickly in emergencies.
