    Rupture Disc and Rupture Pin

    Uploaded by

    Nur Syazwani Khalid
    A rupture disk is a non-reclosing pressure relief device that bursts open at a predetermined pressure to protect vessels and piping from overpressure. A rupture pin works similarly but uses a pin that buckles under pressure to allow opening. Both provide instant relief but cannot reseal. They are simple, lightweight options that are useful for one-time overpressure protection and fast pressure relief. Rupture disks are recommended as primary safety devices when using a single relief device or in combination with safety valves.

    RUPTURE DISK & RUPTURE PIN

    WORKING PRINCIPLE
    Rupture Disk 
    • A Rupture Disk is a non-reclosing pressure relief device actuated by static differential pressure between the
    inlet and outlet of the device and designed to function by the bursting of a rupture disk.

    • Rupture disks are used where instantaneous and full opening of a pressure relief device is required. These
    devices protect vessels, piping and other pressurized systems from excessive pressure and/or vacuum.

    • The rupture disk is oriented with the process fluid/gas against the concave side of the disk. As the pressure
    of process fluid/gas increases beyond the allowable operating pressure, the rupture disk starts to grow. This
    growth continues as the pressure increases until the tensile strength of the material is reached, and rupture
    occurs. 

    Overpressure occurs

    (Normal condition) (Ruptured condition)


    RUPTURE DISK & RUPTURE PIN
    WORKING PRINCIPLE
    Rupture Pin
    • A Rupture Pin is actuated by inlet static pressure. This device is designed to function by breaking a load-
    carrying section of a pin that supports a pressure-containing member. An O-ring on the piston is used to
    make bubble-tight seal.
    • A breaking pin device usually consists of a piston on a seat, retrained from movement to the open position
    by a slender round pin. The pin buckles at set point from an axial force caused by the system pressure
    acting on the piston area. The buckling point of the pin is determined by unrestrained pin length, the pin
    diameter and the modulus of elasticity of the pin material.
    • The breaking  pin device can be designed to sense system pressure only, or differential pressure only. The
    device can have a set pressure from 0.1 to 35 000 psi.

    ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
    Benefits Drawbacks
    Simple, lightweight & reliable compared to other PSV One-time application only – requires replacement
    when burst
    Can react fast and relieve excess pressure quickly  System need to be shut down if replacement of disc is
    needed
    Can be utilized for both liquid and gas applications **Can degrade with age/corrosion
    No maintenance required  Cannot be tested
