Overview

Rupture disks, also known as burst plugs or soft plugs, are used for emergency pressure relief of an extruder.

They are designed to instantaneously rupture at a specific pressure.

This provides reliable relief in applications where rapid pressure buildup can occur, protecting both personnel and equipment.

For maximum life, the recommended pressure rating is >=1.4 times normal operating pressure.

Do not exceed the high-pressure specification.
