Continental Disc Corporation

Secure your vessel and piping connections with the highly durable MBC Multiple-Bolt Sanitary Closure – trusted by pharmaceutical, biotech, food, beverage and fine chemical industries worldwide. The MBC features a two-piece cast stainless steel body, secured with four stainless steel bolts. This sturdy clamp yields the ultimate in connection integrity, providing a dependable, sure hold for system fittings and components. The MBC is designed to work seamlessly with the SANITRX rupture disc family.

Where process temperatures climb to levels your rupture disc or its lining material are unable to withstand, you need a CDC heat shield. The shield functions as a barrier, reducing your rupture disc’s exposure to high temperatures. It restricts the continuous flow of high-temperature gases or vapors, allowing the piping between the shield and rupture disc to act as a heat sink.

Protect piping, rupture discs and safety relief valves from rain, insects, birds and other unwanted foreign material with ENVIRO GUARD pipe end covers. Fabricated from a tough PTFE-impregnated fiberglass material, ENVIRO GUARD pipe end covers easily endure harsh environments and temperatures up to 500°F (260°C).

Use a double-disc assembly to simplify your piping arrangements, eliminate back pressure, detect leaks or create an actuated rapid-opening system. Three holder components (inlet, mid-flange and outlet piece) and two rupture discs make up the double-disc assembly. The first rupture disc fits between the inlet and the mid-flange, and the second goes between the mid-flange and outlet.

When used with our non-fragmenting MICRO X or Composite Flat Seat (FS) rupture discs, the UNISERT Assembly creates an effective seal every time. How? They were made for each other. The UNISERT is a flat seat rupture disc holder designed with superior sealing capabilities and easy installation. For use with any burst or pressure rating of the MICRO X or Composite Flat Seat rupture disc.

Keep your rupture disc clean, accurate and operational with the CLEAN-SWEEP Assembly. Designed for viscous media processes, the CLEAN-SWEEP Assembly significantly reduces dead space in pipe-tee rupture disc assemblies, eliminating product buildup and preventing interference or excessive overpressure. This holder is an ideal replacement for rupture disc assemblies installed off the leg of a pipe tee where product buildup could affect the proper operation of the rupture disc. With the CLEAN-SWEEP Assembly installed, the rupture disc mounts directly adjacent to the process flow.

Where product purity and corrosion resistance are critical, use our Sanitary Rupture Disc Holder Assembly. Quick-release and easy to change, this fitting assembly is trusted in dairy, pharmaceutical, food processing, canning, cosmetic and chemical industries.

Our line of Union holder assemblies provides flexibility in tight piping configurations. These precisely built holders combine remarkable ease of installation with high-pressure ratings in pipe sizes of 2″ (50mm) or less. The Union holder assembly works with standard- or composite-type rupture discs. SRA Union and Union-type holders are available for pressure ranges up to 6,000 psig, depending on disc size and type.

Give your miniature pressurized systems dependable, instantaneous overpressure relief with the Screw-Type rupture disc holder and the Tite-Seal assembly – customized for small systems, such as air conditioning systems, refrigeration units, hydraulic accumulators, gas cylinders, portable compressed-air systems and laboratory equipment. Screw-Type and Tite-Seal assemblies are available with a variety of inlet and outlet connections to accommodate various applications.

The BDI-FLX Burst Disc Sensor System provides instantaneous notification of a burst rupture disc. When combined with an alarm monitor, this system protects lives, equipment and the environment. Designed for use with ASME and DIN flanges or sanitary applications, the BDI-FLX employs a sensor strip with a flexible potentiometer (an electrical component that varies resistance in response to deflection) to signal a burst disc.

A critical component of a complete Burst Disc Indicator (BDI) Alarm System, the MTB-700 Alarm Monitor links to as many as four rupture discs to alert your nearby control room of ruptured discs. Upon disc rupture, the MTB-700’s intrinsically safe galvanically isolated barriers activate signals or output relays to warn operators and actuate pumps, valves or other equipment connected to the system.

Reduce downtime, increase efficiency and ensure the safety of your facility with the BDI (Burst Disc Indicator) Alarm System. When an overpressure or vacuum condition causes a disc to rupture, the BDI immediately sends a signal to the control room to alert the system operator. The heart of the Burst Disc Indicator Alarm System is the BDI Alarm Strip. When a disc ruptures, it severs the electrically charged strip, opening the circuit and signaling the control room. We’ve developed an optional alarm monitor system to notify operators or activate appropriate equipment.

Our explosion vent panels provide instantaneous overpressure protection for nearly any type of pressurized dry-bulk handling and storage equipment. The vent panels are designed to allow a full and immediate opening to minimize structural or mechanical damage by expanded gases from the combustion of dust, gases or mists inside equipment, rooms, buildings or other enclosures.

Protect equipment, personnel and the environment with the threaded, single-use WMP Welded Muffled Plug rupture disc assembly. The WMP is ideal for applications that discharge to the atmosphere at the rupture disc. The WMP is a solid-metal, tension-acting rupture disc that screws directly into a threaded port, providing precise overpressure protection with minimal installation time.

Replace shear pins and other moving devices with our Well Activation and Safety Protection rupture discs to save valuable time and labor on the drill site. Designed to release pressure to activate tools in the hole or to protect downhole drill components from overpressure failure, our Well Activation and Safety Protection Rupture Discs use rupture disc technology to achieve high accuracy and reliability. These rupture discs are offered in two burst-direction configurations, Type A and Type I.

The pharmaceutical, biotech, food and beverage industries rely on the high-precision SANITRX rupture disc family – the perfect combination of industry-leading performance with ASME BPE, USP Class VI and 3A compliance. The SANITRX LP rupture disc includes all the features of the original SANITRX rupture disc, slightly modified for applications requiring lower pressures with reduced flow resistance.
