BI-Directional Rupture Discs - The 2-in-1 rupture disc

The bi-directional acting rupture disc opens in one direction for a defined overpressure and in the other direction for vacuum. It is primarily used in storage tanks and processes involving gases or liquids. The rupture disc permits a standard operating ratio of 80 %* in the overpressure direction and 70 %* in the vacuum direction.

By combining the principles of the KUB^® reverse acting rupture disc with the buckling pin and the three-section design of the ODV forward acting rupture disc, we can offer you a REMBE^® rupture disc that responds at two different but precisely defined burst pressures.

"Almost every bidirectional rupture disc that has left our premises over the last 20 years was built by me. What most customers find so convincing is that it has a single installation point and combines the functions of two rupture discs. Perfect, isn’t it?"
