GRAFSERT Rupture Disc

A single, solid, phenolic resin-impregnated slab of graphite makes up the GRAFSERT rupture disc. This design makes the GRAFSERT a highly dependable, low-maintenance rupture disc, ideal for highly corrosive applications and remote installations.

The GRAFSERT is single-direction disk capable of withstanding burst ratios up to 80% in static service.

Product Overview

Features

Count on the GRAFSERT for:

Flexibility of operating conditions
Corrosion resistance
Reliability, even at low pressure-ratings and smaller sizes
Extended service life
Easy installation between companion flanges

The GRAFSERT is the ideal disc to protect processing systems, truck tanks, storage tanks and closed processing vessels from damage caused by overpressure.

Every GRAFSERT disc is subjected to careful quality control. Each lot is documented from raw material to shipment, and two or more tests to destruction are performed.

To ensure maximum visibility and indication of proper installation relative to flow direction, we attach clearly visible stainless steel nameplates to each GRAFSERT disc.

Industry Applications

Chemical Processing
Our rupture disks are manufactured with chemical processing in mind - corrosion resistance, leak tightness, high accuracy and durability come standard.

Oil & Gas (Petrochemical)
The hydrocarbon industries require cost-effective system protection with a special focus on reducing fugitive emissions. Our catalog of configurations, materials, burst ratings and sizes make our rupture discs the right choice for these operations.

MICRO X™ Rupture Disc

The MICRO X rupture disc is a flat seat, cross-scored, tension-type rupture disc that provides a full, non-fragmenting, four-petal opening pattern. We score the MICRO X on the vent side of the rupture disc, leaving the process side of the disc perfectly smooth - and more resistant to corrosion and accumulation of process media.
