Rupture Disc Calculation Sheet

This rupture disc calculation sheet provides specifications for a disc on a vessel with a maximum allowable working pressure of 1.95 barg. The disc is designed to relieve at a burst pressure of 1.95 barg with an overpressure allowance of 3 psi and a relieving temperature of 30 C. The calculations recommend an 8-inch nominal disc size with a minimum net flow area of 43.3 in2 and a calculated capacity of 45,940.887 kg/hr using the Kd critical flow method.
