Burst Disc Indicator Alarm System

The B.D.I.® Alarm Monitor has been developed as an optional alarm monitor system to notify operators or activate appropriate equipment of an overpressure or vacuum event for a specific B.D.I.® Alarm Strip. Control panels, annunciators, light panels or other signaling devices can be used to warn of a ruptured disc. The B.D.I.® Alarm System is versatile to adapt to a variety of warning devices. Pumps, valves and other systems may also be activated to respond to an overpressure of vacuum situation by the break of a specific B.D.I.® Alarm Strip.

Linking the B.D.I. Alarm Strip to the monitoring system is the B.D.I. Lead Wire Assembly. A two-pin bullet plug protects the terminals at the connecting point against moisture. It is abrasion resistant, flexible, and highly weather-resistant. Together this system will provide immediate notification of a burst disc to reduce downtime, increase efficiency and ensure the safety of your facility.

Chemical Processing
Our rupture discs 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.
