Where Rupture Disc Is Used?

2025-11-22

The chemical industry is one of the most widely used areas of rupture disc, which is related to the high-risk process environment in chemical production. In the operation of a chemical reaction kettle, many reactions will be accompanied by a large amount of heat and gas. If the reaction is out of control, the pressure in the kettle will increase sharply in a short period of time. At this time, relying only on the safety valve may not be able to meet the needs of rapid pressure relief, because there is a certain hysteresis in the opening of the safety valve, and if the medium is a viscous liquid or contains solid particles, it can easily cause the safety valve spool to clog and lose its protective effect. The rupture disc is made of integral metal or non-metallic materials, without complex moving parts, and can be completely broken within milliseconds to achieve rapid pressure relief. It is especially suitable for highly corrosive media such as nitric acid and sulfuric acid, or for reactor protection of viscous materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene. In a chemical pipeline system, when the medium transported is flammable and explosive gas or toxic and harmful liquid, if the pressure of the pipeline exceeds the standard due to blockage or valve misoperation, rupture disc can be used as a protective barrier to avoid the risk of medium leakage and explosion caused by pipeline rupture.

The oil and gas extraction and power production scenarios in the energy field are also inseparable from the safety protection of rupture disc. In the wellhead device of an oil and gas drilling platform, if the formation pressure suddenly rises during drilling, it will cause a devastating impact on the wellhead equipment. The rupture disc is installed on the bypass pipe of the wellhead blowout preventer. When the wellhead pressure exceeds the preset value, the rupture disc quickly ruptures, directing the high-pressure fluid to a safe area to avoid blowout accidents caused by damage to the blowout preventer. In the desulfurization towers, dewatering towers and other equipment of natural gas treatment plants, corrosive gases such as hydrogen sulfide contained in the medium will cause damage to the sealing performance of the safety valve, and rupture disc is made of corrosion-resistant materials, which can withstand corrosive media for a long time and reliably relieve pressure during overpressure. In the power production process, in the boiler system of a thermal power plant, if the water quality is improperly treated and the pipeline is fouled, it will cause local overheating and cause the steam pressure in the pipeline to rise sharply. At this time, the rupture disc can be installed on the boiler steam drum to quickly break when the pressure exceeds the standard, protect the core equipment from damage, and ensure the safe operation of the unit.
