Rupture Disc
(OP)
I could use some help on a safety disc I developing. I have a specified burst range that I need to meet and I am coming up high. The bore size is .295" and I am currently using .006" thick brass (70/30 CA260, 1/2 hard). The range is 2500-2775 and I am about 3150 w/o a burst. Does anyone have any material/design suggestions? I feel like I am wasting time and money by changing the hardness and thickness and hoping to get the right range the next time through.
Also, is there some reference material (books, articles, etc) out there you can suggest so I can get this done right the first time?

I don't know of any information on the design of rupture discs.
What type disc are you try to develop, is it a prebulged, flat disc, etc?
Comeback with how you are attempting to make the disc?
How are you trying to test the disc?

If this is an application for an ASME coded vessel and you are not a certified shop, then you are violating the law by trying to design your own rupture disk. If you are a certified shop, then you would know how to design the rupture disk properly so by the very nature of your question you are not a certified shop and therefore violating the law. Contact a certified manufacturer of rupture disks is my only advice and should be the only advice anyone gives you.
If this is not an application for an ASME coded vessel, you should still contact a certified manufacturer of rupture disks because by trying to do it yourself you are risking not only equipment damage at the least but someone's life at the most.
If I'm missing something here, please educate us all.

Continental Disc Corp, Fike, OSECO, and BS&B are names that come to mind.
