BS&B supplies many of the Accessories required to safely and conveniently install our overpressure relief devices and complementary products. Through our professional team and global network of sales engineers and procurement personnel, we are able to provide the highest quality accessory products to meet your installation requirements.
After activation, the replacement disk is quickly slid into place. Saving hours of lost production due to blown rupture disks.
A gauge tap in the outlet flange of the safety head may be considered when the safety head is installed in a vertical position.
When activated, the jackscrews effectively separate the flanges, providing adequate clearance to remove or insert a safety head and external gaskets.
Eye bolts are recommended when weight and/or accessibility is a factor in lifting safety heads.
When a safety head is free-vented to atmosphere, a baffle plate may be considered to disperse overpressure and absorb recoil.

The Type B Rupture Disk (Bursting Disc) is a tension-loaded forward rupture disk. The seating design allows the dome to thin out until it can no longer withstand the pressure. The metal segments fold back against the walls of the fitting in an irregular pattern to provide a full opening. The ultimate tensile strength of the metal determines its failure point when loaded in tension.
The Type B™ Rupture Disk (Bursting Disc) is available in a range of corrosion resistant materials. Standard disk materials are Nickel alloy 200, Stainless Steel grade 316, Monel® (Nickel alloy 400), Inconel® (Nickel alloy 600), Hastelloy® C-276, & Aluminum. Fluoropolymer film liners are offered with the type B™ rupture disk (bursting disc) at all burst pressures. All standard disks are available with 5% and 10% manufacturing ranges.
If backpressure on convex (atmospheric) side of the disk ever exceeds the pressure applied to the concave (pressure) side of the disk, a vacuum support may be required. Supports are not required for all disks. Consult BS&B for help. If extremely high vacuum is involved, in the micron range, seating of rupture disk (bursting disc) may require a soft gasket ring mounted to the process side of support. A ring can also be attached to atmospheric side of rupture disk (bursting disc) or vacuum grease may also be applied to the soft ring-seating surface to provide additional tightness when high vacuum is encountered.
The Type B Rupture Disk (Bursting Disc) must be used in BS&B rupture disk (bursting disc) holder types FA, SA, SF, or UA or other types recommended by and manufactured by BS&B. Substitution of either rupture disk (bursting disc) or safety head / holder not manufactured by BS&B not only may affect the burst pressure or opening characteristics of the disk, it also voids BS&B warranty.
The BS&B global team appreciate the support of our customers and suppliers during this challenging time.
