These rupture discs have higher-pressure capability

| By Chemical Engineering

The Atlas line of rupture discs is manufactured using this company’s G2 technology for making rupture discs. The patented technology is capable of making rupture discs without the use of hard-score tooling. The process builds rupture discs that are free of stress zones that can fatigue, the company says. The Atlas line matches the characteristics of the company’s other product lines with G2 technology. These benefits include a 95% operating ratio, the ability to perform with liquids or vapors, backpressure resistance and excellent cycling capability. The Atlas series offers higher-pressure capability than was previously available, the company says, so the range of pressures that can be handled by products with G2 technology is extended. — Fike Inc., Blue Springs, Mo.
