When the bursting disc breaks normally at a preset pressure value, it is actually a safe pressure relief action of the industrial system. At this time, the whole process will strictly follow the design expectations to achieve effective protection of the pressure equipment. In a normal rupture scenario, the bursting disc will accurately rupture along a specific fracture structure at the moment when the pressure in the equipment or pipeline reaches a preset safety threshold, forming a stable discharge channel. Because the discharge area, medium characteristics and other factors have been fully considered in the product design stage, the high-pressure medium after rupture will be transported to a safe area through the discharge pipeline at a controllable flow rate and direction. At the same time, the normally ruptured bursting disc will not produce irregular fragments, and the downstream pipelines and valves will not be clogged or damaged due to the impact of the medium. This allows the system to replace the new bursting disc after the pressure relief is completed. After a simple pressure test, production can resume, and the impact on the overall operation is controlled to a minimum.
However, if the bursting disc breaks unexpectedly, for example, it breaks early without reaching the design pressure, or it is suddenly damaged under normal operating conditions, it will bring a series of serious problems to the production system. The early rupture of the bursting disc will cause the pressure in the system to drop sharply, which will destroy the stability of the production process. In addition, if irregular fragments occur after the bursting disc breaks, it may get stuck in the downstream valve or heat exchanger, causing equipment failure and further prolonging downtime. More seriously, unexpected rupture usually means that there are potential hidden dangers in the system, such as incorrect selection of bursting disc, improper installation, or abnormal pressure on the equipment itself. If it is not investigated in time, it may cause more serious safety accidents.
In addition to the direct safety and production impact, bursting disc rupture will also involve subsequent cost and compliance issues. Whether it is replacement after normal rupture or troubleshooting after unexpected rupture, manpower and material costs need to be invested, including the purchase of new bursting disc, the loss of working hours during shutdown and maintenance, the waste of materials caused by media leakage, and the environmental fines that may be faced. For international companies, it is also necessary to make the replacement and handling of bursting discs comply with local industry norms. If you use bursting discs that do not meet the standards, it may lead to companies facing compliance penalties and affect international business development.
Facing the complex situation that may be caused by the rupture of the bursting disc, choosing a high-quality and adaptable bursting disc has become the key for B-side buyers to reduce risks. As a company focused on the research and development and production of bursting disc, we have always put the stability and safety of bursting disc in the first place. Our bursting disc adopts high-precision manufacturing technology and has passed a number of international standard certifications. Each piece of bursting disc will undergo strict pressure testing and quality testing, which can accurately rupture under preset pressure to avoid premature or delayed rupture. At the same time, according to the characteristics of working conditions in different industries, we can provide buyers with customized solutions, so that the bursting disc can maintain stable performance under harsh conditions and reduce the probability of unexpected rupture.
