What Is a Burst Disc Called?

2025-10-17

Bursting disc is a disposable pressure relief safety device. Bursting disc is usually made of metal or non-metallic materials, installed on equipment or piping systems, and together with other safety accessories such as safety valves, it forms a pressure protection system. The working principle of bursting disc is based on the mechanical properties and structural design of the material. When the pressure in the equipment or pipeline suddenly rises due to uncontrolled chemical reactions, media clogging, thermal expansion, etc., and reaches the pre-set pressure value of bursting disc, the bursting disc will quickly rupture, allowing the high-pressure medium in the system to be quickly discharged, thereby reducing the pressure to within the safe range that the equipment can withstand, and preventing serious accidents such as equipment explosions and leaks caused by overpressure.


Compared with common safety valves, bursting disc has obvious characteristics and advantages. The safety valve realizes pressure control through the automatic opening and closing of the disc, can be resealed after the pressure is reduced, and can be reused. Once the bursting disc reaches the set pressure and breaks, it cannot be restored again and needs to be replaced in time. But it is this way of working that allows bursting disc to show irreplaceable value under certain working conditions. For example, in an environment where the medium is highly corrosive, easy to crystallize, and high viscosity, the disc of the safety valve is easily corroded, stuck, or clogged, resulting in the inability to open and close normally, and bursting disc due to its simple structure, there are no moving parts, which can effectively avoid these problems and ensure reliable action at critical moments. In addition, the action speed of the bursting disc is very fast, and it can quickly rupture and relieve pressure at the moment of a sudden pressure rise. In contrast, the opening of the safety valve requires a certain pressure rise rate and time. In extreme cases of rapid pressure changes, the rapid response ability of the bursting disc can better ensure the safety of the equipment.

However, to give full play to the safety protection role of bursting disc, quality and performance are very important. The quality of bursting disc on the market is not uniform, and there are large differences in the technical level, production technology and quality control capabilities of different manufacturers. Choosing a reliable bursting disc is not only related to the safe operation of the equipment, but also directly affects the production efficiency and social image of the enterprise.
