RE: Rupture disc at PD pump discharge
We need details. Normal operating discharge pressure or pulsation range. Type of pump (make and model). RD burst pressure and type (make and model).
Good Luck,

RE: Rupture disc at PD pump discharge
Normally you install a RD when a Relief valve cannot act fast enough to prevent failure, e.g. on the low pressure side of a shell and tube HX to cope with a tube failure.
Why you need on on the outlet of a PD pump which needs to have a relief valve to cope with blockage of flow is not clear.
As noted RDs don't like pulsations or transients. They are a purposely weakened part of the system.
Remember - More details = better answers

Share with us more information about the pump (brand , model)to get a proper answer.
Thanks

RE: Rupture disc at PD pump discharge
Instead of a RD, why would you not use an adjustable pilot operated relief valve ? ... The discharge can be directed back to the reservior
Explain your reasoning for using a RD .... Is it because your boss or the client insisted that you must do so ?
Explain, specifically, why the rupture disk is the BEST DEVICE for your particular application
Is your problem with the device or the application of that device

For good operational reliability and safety, default to using reclosing devices (PSVs) in all cases, except for the relative few cases where there's a specific reason to use an RD.
