Instant warning of over-pressure in process plant
The Integral Flo-Tel pressure relief sensor developed by Elfab Limited provides instant warning of over-pressure within the pipework and vessels of process plants.
Bursting discs are pressure relief devices used throughout the processing industries.
Designed to burst at a specific pressure, they prevent potentially dangerous pressure build-up and are now an essential safety component in process plants.
With a burst pressure range between 0.5 to 12 bar g and an operating temperature range of -40 to +200C, the Uni-Guard is both gas and liquid compatible.
It has a performance tolerance of +/-5%, a maximum operating ratio of 90% and a very high cycle life (typically over 100,000 cycles).
The Uni-Guard can be combined with Elfab's Integral Flo-Tel sensor to create a high-precision detection device which instantly sends a signal to process control systems when the bursting disc has operated.
It is also suitable for hygienic applications, having a smooth surface on its process side which eliminates the danger of product build-up.
In addition, the disc is non-fragmenting so will not contaminate the process after functioning.
