HOLDERS FOR RD500 ATLAS: ATLAS/ATLAS-LO

GI INSERT TYPE TQ PRE-TORQUEABLE TYPE (1)

Atlas: Standard Overall Height Profile
Atlas-LO: Low Overall Height Profile

“G Insert” type rupture disc holders are furnished with a method of preassembly so the rupture disc may be installed at a workbench
or some other convenient location. Once the disc is in place the unit may be assembled and installed into the line, minimizing the
chance of damage to the rupture disc.

The purpose of the TQ holder design is to allow rupture discs to be installed and then “torqued” to recommended static load levels
ensuring proper clamping of the rupture disc within the assembly. This can take place at a workbench rather than in the field where
conditions could be less than ideal, greatly reducing the possibility of assembly errors.

Once together, the rupture disc assembly may then be delivered to the field location and installed between companion flanges where
additional torque loads applied are essential for proper functionality of the assembly. TQ assemblies may also be removed, inspected and
replaced during routine maintenance schedules and plant turnarounds without compromising disc performance as long as the disc is not
removed.
