Pressure & Vacuum Refief with IP Technology and Kinetics to the Fastest Bursting Disc
The IKB® Bursting disc1 is a non-reclosing pressure relief device used to protect pressure equipment such as pressure vessels, piping, gas cylinders, reactors or other enclosures against excessive pressure and/or vacuum.
The traditional method to protect the equipment is by using scored type of single layer reverse buckling discs. These incorporate mechanically dented scored lines to weaken the disc material which assist the disc to open at the specified pressure. However, this method has several drawbacks for users, such as torque-sensitivity, corrosion risk around the score lines and unexpected opening characteristics with reduced net flow area and not least the requirement for frequent replacements.
REMBE® introduced the innovative, patented IP technology, which represents the latest development in the field of reverse buckling disc designs and eliminates the problems of users created by the older technology designs made by mechanical scoring manufacturing techniques.
The IP technology enables the REMBE® engineers to park a defined amount of kinetic energy in the IKB® Disc. When reaching the burst pressure, the IKB® immediately releases this energy and gives full bore opening instantaneously.
The beauty with this revolutionary design is that pre-weakening scores or additional knifes downstream are no longer necessary to guarantee a totally dependable and full relief. All these supporting measures are now incorporated in the dome of the Disc: invisible and accelerated by Kinetics = the perfect Bursting Disc!
Combined with the REMBE® IG holder unit the reverse acting bursting
disc IKB® provides easy handling and an economical solution.
