New bursting disc gives better pressure safety
The new Uni-Guard from Elfab is a scored reverse bursting disc ideal for very low pressure applications in aggressive process environments.
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.
High precision pressure relief devices, bursting discs are used throughout the process industries and are an essential safety component in all process plants.
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries demand high standards of hygiene - with obvious implications for the design and manufacture of plant components.
The Bio-Guard is designed to withstand the sanitation and sterilisation procedures used in hygienic systems, and has a completely smooth surface on its process side, eliminating the danger of product build-up.
In addition, it is non-fragmenting, so will not contaminate the process after functioning.
The disc's novel design eliminates the need for a special outlet ferrule in order to fit within a hygienic system - it can now fit directly between two ISO2852 standard industry couplings and clamp fittings.
This allows quick and easy fitting and maintenance.
Available in 25, 40 and 50mm sizes, the Bio-Guard has burst pressures ranging from 2 to 10 bar g and can be supplied in 316 stainless steel, nickel and hastelloy.
Tested and certified in accordance with BS2915 - the British standard for bursting discs - the Bio-Guard also conforms to the American FDA material specifications and the American 3A sanitary standards.
