Flexibility of Abilities

From very tiny to very large, from extreme compression to barely a breath, Continental Disc Corporation has been manufacturing rupture discs to operate in every application you can imagine. The list below shows just a few of the places where Continental rupture discs are doing the job. If you don`t see your application listed, just contact us and let us show you how we have handled pressure problems just like yours.

Widely used in:

GAS / LIQUID HANDLING SYSTEMS
Rupture discs protect the tanks, transmission lines, compressors, evaporators, transportation containers, pipes, tubes, coils, and instrumentation in all types of gas and liquid handling systems, all while minimizing product loss and keeping your costs low.

CHEMICAL PROCESSING
Rupture discs are ideal for protection of chemical processing systems. Continental Disc Corporation`s reverse acting rupture discs provide high operating ratios to allow chemical processing systems to operate near the designed pressure capacity. Continental Disc Corporation`s composite and standard rupture discs provide cost-effective pressure protection in a wide range of burst pressures.

PETROLEUM REFINING
The hydrocarbon industries require cost-effective system protection with a special focus on reducing fugitive emissions. The sealing capabilities of rupture discs provide leak-free service in all conditions.

FOOD PROCESSING
Sanitary Fitting Assemblies and SANITRX® Rupture Discs are specifically suited for a wide range of process applications where product purity is required. The CAL-VAC® and POS-A-SET® rupture discs are highly accurate relief devices for ultra low pressure situations.

LIQUID STORAGE
Liquid processing and storage applications with low compressibility provide special challenges for pressure relief devices. The ULTRX® Reverse Acting Rupture Disc excels in liquid service applications. Each customer order of ULTRX® Rupture Discs is tested under liquid conditions to ensure proper operation.

POWDER BULK STORAGE
Continental Disc Corporation vent panels provide reliable pressure relief protection in large scale applications like silos and atmospheric tanks. Designs are available in flat panels or pre-formed panels, as well as with Teflon® coating or Continental Disc Corporation`s B.D.I.® (Burst Disc Indicator) Alarm System.

INTERMODAL TANK CONTAINERS
The ICON™ Rupture Disc is designed specifically to protect IMO tank containers from excess pressure from overfilling, environmental heating, internal reaction, or accident.

PHARMACEUTICAL / BIOTECHNOLOGY
The SANITRX® line of rupture discs was specifically designed to provide protection under the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical processing. Each product fits in standard sanitary piping or sanitary holders designed for the purpose. F.D.A.-grade sanitary gaskets in a variety of materials meet customer requirements for sealing. The M.B.C.™ Multi-Bolt Clamp and SANI-TORQ™ Clamping Devices make sanitary clamping secure and easy.

DUST COLLECTION SYSTEMS
Dust collection can be a critical safety function in powder/bulk processing and storage applications. Continental`s rupture discs and vent panels protect dust collection systems from collapse or rupture due to clogs or malfunctioning blast gates.

AEROSPACE
For over four decades, Continental Disc has been solving the specialized pressure protection and pressure activation needs of the airplane, aerospace, and defense industries. Continental Disc Corporation`s product development group and special products group have produced hundreds of unique products to meet exceptional pressure, size, weight, material, or venting requirements, in some of the most extreme conditions on or above the Earth.
