FEATURED

Pure-Gard is an innovative rupture disc assembly, with the disc No

(1–4") (5-145 psig) Vapour 0.85 KRGL
electron-beam welded between two ferrules. This ensures the
assembly is crevice-free and meets industry expectations for
cleanability. It is installed separately to the gaskets, allowing the

VENT-TEL
Non-invasive, reusable burst detection system. If the
n/a
disc activates, only the disc must be replaced - the detector can
remain in use.

TEST-TEL
Confirm correct disc and detector installation qickly
and easily, and monitor disc and detector status n/a
without the need for a shutdown with the rugged,
ATEX-approved Test-Tel.

Standard materials for rupture discs are 316 Stainless Steel, Nickel 200/201, Inconel 600, Monel 400, Hastelloy C-276 We can supply discs to specifications outside of those listed here.
