Operating Pressure Gas/Liquid/Steam
Pressure the system runs
Flow Media
Burst Pressure ie. Hydraulic fluid, Water, Peroxide
Pressure the disc will burst
Gas/Vapor
Operating Temperature Molecular Weight amu
Temp the system runs
Ratio of Specific Heats
Burst Temperature
Temp the media will be at time of burst Compressibility Factor
Correction factor for gas/vapor for compression
Required Flow
Rate of discharge needed during relief Liquids
Specific Gravity/Density
Back Pressure
Pressure on outlet side of disc Viscosity CP

Over Pressure % Steam Condition

10% if disc is primary, 16% if disc is secondary, 21% for fire Dry Saturated
Superheated
Will the System Cycle Wet
Will the disc see regular fluctuation of pressure Quality - percentage gas/liquid %
