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.
