Rupture Disk – Installation; 

  • The Rupture disk installation is directly between the Rupture disk and the PRV. There must be a Vent Pipe or Pressure Gauge to check if the Disk is leaking or cracking.
  • When we remove the disk for inspection or maintenance, the PRV should replace the disk because the Disk is easily damaged. Therefore, re-use may cause Disk to fail to function and damage before the deadline.
