The Fike Expertise
For over 65 years Fike has been
the leader in pressure relief
solutions and rupture/bursting disc
innovation. Fike products are compliant
with wide a variety of code regulations around
the globe and are designed to meet or exceed industry
requirements for performance, reliability and quality. From
safeguarding your critical manufacturing processes to protecting
your pressure relief valves (PRVs), Fike products are part of the
critical path to lowering your costs and helping you achieve
higher profitability.
Why Pressure Relief Technology?
A rupture disc is designed to provide a leak tight seal within a
pipe or vessel until the internal pressure rises to a predetermined
level. At that point the disc bursts preventing damage to the
equipment from overpressure.
Common causes
for overpressure:
Lack of safeguarding
can cause:
Blocked discharge
Mechanical damage
Thermal expansion
Loss of product
Chemical runaway reaction
Environmental damage
External fire or loss of coolant
Personnel injuries
Loss of purge gas
Production downtime
Fikes G2 technology
G2 is a patented, state-of-the-art technology used to
manufacture rupture discs without hard-score tooling,
producing no stress zones that can fatigue and offering
premium performance. The result is a low pressure rupture
disc solution featuring tight burst tolerances and extremely
high operating ratios. In addition, the advanced automation
significantly increases consistency and provides for fast,
economical delivery time.
Fikes premier discs, the Axius, Axius SC and ATLAS are
products of G2 Technology

GET YOUR PRODUCTION NUMBERS UP,
BUDGET NUMBERS DOWN
Pressure or safety relief valves (PRV/SRV) are commonly used
to protect many processes and ultimately your business.
Unfortunately PRVs are also costly to maintain and expensive to
replace. Now you can safeguard your high-cost PRVs and greatly
extend their service life with affordable rupture discs from Fike.
When Fike rupture discs are used to isolate or guard your Pressure
Relief Valves from process media and downstream contaminants,
we refer to this as VALVEGUARD.
