REMBE HIGH PRESSURE
RUPTURE DISC HPRD
igh Pressure applications
require special
overpressure protection
due to the demanding
process conditions
including pressures up to several
thousand bar and temperatures over
300˚ C which mainly occur in autoclaves.
Related compressors face similar
pressures.
H
REMBE HPRD rupture discs protect various
high pressure processes around the
world. They were recently approached
by one of the leading multinational
100
PECM Issue 31
companies to protect their polymer plant
in Belgium and help to bring them in line
with European regulations on pressure
equipment.
By moving the weld seam out of the
pressure loaded area of the disc, REMBE
HPRD rupture discs have a much longer
life time than comparable discs as the
pressure load applies only on the seat
of the disc which also allows tightest
burst tolerances up to +/- 3% and lower.
Therefore, the burst pressure is defined
only by well known factors such as
material thickness.
“The challenge of high pressure
applications such as LDPE production
is one which our engineers relish and
we are proud to be able to protect such
processes” said Claire Lloyd, Business
Development Europe at REMBE.
