Rupture discs
Overpressure can result in devastating events, which is why Fike rupture discs have been trusted for more than 75 years to “burst” precisely when called upon to relieve pressure and protect workers and businesses from a potential disaster.
Rupture discs are devices to be mounted on pressurized systems and their function is to ensure pressure relief in cases where the system pressure reaches critical values, which jeopardize the stability of the system.
All pressurized systems and/or vessels designed under ASME criteria, must have an overpressure protection system, according to ASME section VIII, Div 1, one of these are rupture discs and the other are safety valves.
Rupture discs can be mounted as primary overpressure protection systems, as secondary systems or in combination with safety valves.
Why Choose Fike Rupture Discs?
Fike is an industrial safety solutions provider whose products are trusted around the world to protect workers, mission-critical assets and the businesses themselves. Yet, it all began in 1945 with the creation of its first safety device, the Fike rupture disc.
Ever since, the Fike team has worked to expand their rupture disc offerings into new applications, to perfect performance, and to reduce lead times.
