Rupture Disk Reliability
Rupture Disk Reliability
(OP)
I am looking for reliability # for RDs. The one i am interested has a size of 10", and set pressure of 11 psig installed on a pipe that is filled w water. Furthermore I appreciate if you can provide a reference that lists the such reliability #s for different sizes/set pressures. For my application i need a reliable pressure device that would not fail below its set pressure.

Differnt RD styles have different tollerances between the Set, or Burst pressure and the Maximum operating pressure. Some require the MOP to be less than 70% of Burst others you can go as high as 90%. But such a large disk and a low pressure I think you are going to be in trouble.
