FIKE Safety Rupture Discs

Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) are commonly used in many industries to protect production facilities from an overpressure catastrophe. However, PRVs are expensive to maintain, susceptible to leaking toxic media and at risk of clogging during a polymeric process. Protect your PRV investments and reduce fugitive emissions by installing upstream Safety Rupture Discs from FIKE.

Introducing RD540: Smooth, Reverse-Acting, Lowest Burst Pressure

Struggling with graphite rupture discs? Fike is proud to announce the introduction of the RD540 rupture disc. RD540 solves the problems found in graphite rupture discs, resulting in one of the first high-performance metallic rupture discs for use in fragile low-pressure applications, such as glass-lined reactors. RD540 is available in 316/316L SST with sizes that range from 1-4" and with a burst pressure range of 1.75-10 psig. This high performing reverse acting disc is engineered with Fike's patented G2 Manufacturing technology for low pressure applications not encompassed by the RD520 Axius. RD540 is engineered as a suitable replacement for graphite rupture discs. Download RD540 Data Sheet
