Process Engineering - As I See It
Rupture Disks for Processing Engineers - Part 6
In Part 6 of this series, Phil Leckner concludes his discussion on rupture disks by addressing the topic of specifying rupture disks.
Rupture Disks for Processing Engineers - Part 5
In Part 5 of this series, learn about the relief valve / rupture disk combination and how they fit into the overall relieving system.
Rupture Disks for Processing Engineers - Part 4
In Part 4 of this series, learn how temperature and backpressure can affect the design of a rupture disk and the relieving system.
Rupture Disks for Processing Engineers - Part 3
In Part 3 of this series, learn how to set the burst pressure on a rupture disk.  Learn what the maximum allowable set burst pressure can be.  Also, you'll find out what to expect from the stamped pressure when the burst disk arrives.
Rupture Disks for Processing Engineers - Part 2
In Part 2 of this series, learn how to size a rupture disk.  How much flow does it need to pass?  How large does it have to be?  What is the best available method for sizing?  Get some answers as Phil Leckner continues his series on rupture disks.
Rupture Disks for Processing Engineers - Part 1
When does it make sense to use a rupture disk alone for a given relieving scenario?  When should you a rupture disk in combination with a relief valve and how should they be arranged?  Find out the answers to these and other questions in the latest article from Phil Leckner.
Relief Valve Set Pressures
One's interpretation of the ASME code can make all the difference when determining the design pressure of relief valves.
Relief Valves: "What Can Go Wrong" Scenarios
Part 1 of this series lays the groundwork for analyzing safety aspects of relief valve systems.
