Pressure and Solutions Intelligence
Elfab is an ISO 9001:2000 Certified Company and all Elfab’s bursting
discs are manufactured in-house to the highest standards, being
tested and certified in accordance with BS2915, the British Standard
for bursting discs. To ensure the correct performance of a bursting
disc, it must be used in its correct holder, as specified by the
bursting disc manufacturer.
As the temperature seen by a bursting disc changes its burst pressure
and performance will change. As a result of extensive testing, Elfab
can advise on these changes, or on other technical matters, such
as discharge requirements, material selection and corrosion resistance,
customised designs and burst detection.
