Reverse Acting
Continental Disc Corporation's reverse acting rupture discs are state of the art products utilizing a highly
accurate manufacturing method to achieve and control a burst pressure at close tolerances. A precision
semicircular score or knife blades are used to provide a clean, consistent opening pattern. All of C.D.C.'s
reverse acting rupture discs are provided with a zero manufacturing range as a standard.

  The HPX™ rupture disc is a scored reverse acting rupture disc. This differential pressure relief device features an instantaneous full-open relief area for potecting equipment, vessels, systems and people from an overpressure condition. This high precision reverse acting rupture disc offers proven performance in excess of 250,000 cycles at 95% operating ratio.
 

 The ULTRX® Rupture Disc is a scored, reverse acting rupture disc. It is a differential pressure relief device that provides an instantaneous full-open, non-reclosing design for protecting equipment, vessels and systems from an overpressure condition. The ULTRX® Rupture Disc has Continental Disc's patented precision controlled indentation to initiate reversal when the specified burst pressure is achieved, and a semicircular score to provide a clean, consistent opening pattern.

The ULTRX® Rupture Disc excels in fully liquid systems as well as gaseous or partial gas/liquid systems. Full opening occurs in liquid or gaseous systems, including those systems which have an extremely low rate of pressure rise or an exceptionally small volume.



The MINTRX® Rupture Disc has many of the same benefits as the ULTRX® Rupture Disc, but is specifically designed to operate at lower burst pressures. When the patented precision controlled indentation on the rupture disc surface initiates the reversal action, full opening will occur. The MINTRX® Rupture Disc excels in low pressure gaseous or partial gas/liquid systems. Consult the factory before using the MINTRX® Rupture Disc in full-liquid applications.



The STAR X® Rupture Disc is designed to provide protection at even lower burst pressures than the ULTRX® or MINTRX® rupture discs. It has Continental Disc's patented nonsymmetrical failure initiating indents, to precisely control disc buckling at a predetermined pressure. The STAR X® Rupture Disc incorporates a handling ring to reduce torque sensitivity. It is specifically designed for low pressure applications that require operating ratio of up to 90% of the disc's rated (marked) burst pressure.
The LOTRX® Rupture Disc represents a breakthrough in rupture disc design. The LOTRX® Rupture Disc provides all the benefits of Continental's scored, reverse acting discs, with additional features that make it ideal for extremely low pressure applications - as low as 2psig in 1” size (0,138 barg in 25mm size)!

Continental Disc Corporation's RCS™ Rupture Disc is a reverse acting, cross-scored rupture disc. It is a non-reclosing differential pressure relief device that provides instantaneous full opening for protection of equipment, vessels and systems from overpressure conditions.

Continental Disc Corporation's ZAP & KBA reverse acting rupture discs utilize knife blades to open the rupture discs as reversal occurs. The ZAP & KBA rupture discs have the media pressure acting on the convex side of the rupture disc, placing it in compression. When the burst pressure rating of the rupture disc is reached, the compression loading on the rupture disc causes it to reverse, snapping it through its neutral position and through the knife blades resulting in a full opening.
