Our rupture discs are manufactured with chemical processing in mind – corrosion resistance, leak tightness, high accuracy and durability come standard.
The Continental Disc APX™ rupture disc is a semicircular scored reverse acting rupture disc that is ideal for liquid or gas/vapor applications. In terms of performance, precision, and durability, the APX rupture disc outperforms the competition. One of several benefits of the APX is the flexibility to tailor it to the demands of the customer, particularly regarding flexibility in holder materials of construction.
Designed for use in toxic and corrosive environments, the APX rupture disc combines Continental Disc’s rupture disc performance with materials that stand up to the most challenging process media. The APX continues the legacy of the flagship HPX® product with low Kr factors, high cycling, and quality certifications that you’ve come to expect from Continental Disc Corporation.
Optimum material thickness and manufacturing tooling design provide not only the full opening and accurate burst rating you expect, but also longer service life at higher operating-to-burst pressure ratios demanded by today’s process industries.
