Where Is the Rupture Disc Located?

2025-10-03

In chemical production plants, the pressure control of reactors, towers and other equipment is very important. Bursting disc is usually installed in the center of the top of the reactor, which is also the area where the equipment is most likely to accumulate pressure. Using the polymerization reactor as an example, during the polymerization process, once the reaction is out of control, the temperature and pressure will suddenly rise. The bursting disc is installed in the center of the top, which can quickly turn on the relief pressure at the moment the pressure reaches the set value to prevent material leakage, explosion and other accidents caused by overpressure. At the same time, on tower equipment, bursting disc is often installed in the gas phase space close to the top of the tower, which can ensure the stability of the pressure in the tower, prevent the failure of the mass transfer and heat transfer process caused by pressure fluctuations, and maintain the continuity of the entire production process.


In the pipeline system, the installation location of the bursting disc needs to comprehensively consider many factors such as pipeline layout, media flow direction, and pressure distribution. Under normal circumstances, the bursting disc should be installed on the pipe close to the protected equipment, and the pipe between the equipment and the equipment should be kept as short and straight as possible to reduce pressure loss and discharge resistance. For example, on pipelines that transport flammable and explosive media, the installation location of bursting disc should be far away from densely populated areas and important facilities to prevent the media from causing harm to the surrounding environment during discharge. At the same time, in order to make the action of the bursting disc accurate, it is necessary to avoid installing the bursting disc at sharp turns of the pipeline, downstream of the valve, etc., which are prone to pressure fluctuations and eddy currents, so as not to affect the normal opening pressure of the bursting disc.
