Rupture disk takes sensor onboard

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 7, 2005

A novel one-piece rupture disk and sensor simplifies installation and provides sanitary pressure relief protection and notification in demanding chemical, food and pharmaceutical applications.

New from pressure relief expert Oklahoma Safety Equipment Co (Oseco) is the S-Pro-S, a one-piece rupture disk and sensor that simplifies installation and provides sanitary pressure relief protection and notification in the most demanding chemical, food processing and pharmaceutical applications.

Oseco's S-Pro-S combines a bursting disk and sensor into a single assembly, eliminating additional tri-clamp ferrules needed to install a separate sensor.

When the disk bursts, the sensor's circuit is broken, triggering activation of an alarm on Oseco's BDA module, or comparable alarm system.

With quick alarm detection, bursting disks can be replaced and overpressure situations corrected with a minimum of process downtime.

The design of the S-Pro-S is ideal for use in sanitary services.

Placement of the sensor and disk scoring on the vent side present a smooth surface to the process, minimising product build up.

A nonfragmenting design prevents contamination from rupture disk pieces entering the process after bursting.

The unibody system is able to withstand full vacuum (1bar) without a separate vacuum support.

Available in wide range of sizes from 1 to 4in, the S-Pro-S sensor and disk is ideally suited for variety of applications in a broad range of burst pressures (from 1.1 to 10.3bar(g)).

The system performs equally well in gas or liquid service applications, and high cycling environments.
