HPX-PT Pre-Torqued Holder

Get consistently accurate rupture disc installation with the HPX-PT pre-torqued holder.

Prior to installation, you'll install and fit the disc in your workshop. Then all you need to do is complete the assembly between the flanges in the process system relief stream.

The HPX-PT pre-torqued holder incorporates high-strength steel socket-head cap screws for accurate loading and sealing of the rupture disc.

Product Overview

Features

The HPX-PT pre-torqued holder:

Allows a precise torque load to be applied in the controlled environment of a workshop prior to installation, simplifying final installation
Maintains precise loading of the rupture disc, even where poor flange alignment and gasket cold flow may be an issue, improving performance
Pre-torqued holder screws are protected with coating to prevent wear, corrosion, sticking and galling of the screws, reducing maintenance costs

Common installations

Process equipment with glass or fluoropolymer-lined flanges that can't provide enough compression to seal the rupture disc in the holder
Where piping arrangements restrict access, preventing correct torque loading of the flange fasteners
Processes requiring regular removal and inspection of the rupture disc and holder assembly
Applications requiring leak testing of the rupture disc assembly prior to installation in the piping system
Available options

Alternate height

Gauge taps in holder outlet
Flange studs and nuts, alloy steel or 316 SS
J-hook on holder inlet
Enhanced corrosion resistance from fluoropolymer coatings or TANTALINE treatment

Please note that pre-torqued holder designs may vary depending on bolting class and size.

Industry Applications

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

Food & Beverage Processing
We understand that product purity and safety are critical in food-related industries, so we provide hygienic and aseptic vessels and piping to assure compliance with FDA and 3A requirements.

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.

Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology
We focus on solutions to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical processing - wherever perfectly hygienic facilities and hermetically sealed antiseptic systems are a must.

HPX-CTG™ Rupture Disc

The Continental Disc HPX-CTG™ cartridge rupture disc addresses the need to minimize potential leak paths in chemical applications. The welded rupture disc cartridge assembly, built with HPX® technology, seamlessly integrates between traditional flange connections. By eliminating the need for a separate holder, the welded design significantly reduces the risk of leaks compared to conventional rupture disc systems. As a seal-welded version of our HPX rupture disc, the HPX-CTG ensures a leak-tight assembly, making it ideal for applications involving toxic or hazardous media or where emissions regulations are a concern. With the proven durability of the HPX rupture disc - type tested to five million cycles - the HPX-CTG enhances safety and reliability while minimizing emissions risks in critical applications. The single-piece HPX-CTG assembly simplifies installation and minimizes the risk of damaging the rupture disc during installation and handling. Its fully welded design eliminates torque sensitivity, alleviating concerns about inconsistent torque application and the higher torque required for certain gaskets, ensuring a more reliable and flexible installation.
