Dear Engineers

Hope you're doing well

I've been searching for articles series by phillip about Rupture disk.
The link on cheresources is not working now.

Thank you in advance

The link address I have to "articles" is:  http://www.cheresour...tent/articles/ 

This address gives me the good old "404 Not Found" message.

I did not happen to have personally saved much rupture disk resources.

Do you remember whether the articles were only on cheresources or were they published elsewhere?

Do you know any other details that someone might use to help in your search?

Falah,

 

Like Pilesar, I could not find them on ChE Resources, which is very discouraging.  But my Google-fu is strong, and I found Philip Leckner's articles here.

You found the link to Phillip Leckner's articles, but the pointer is back to cheresources dead page!

The author does seem to have a Linked-In page here: (17) Philip Leckner | LinkedIn

Perhaps he has these articles archived somewhere!

LOL! I didn’t check it out! LOL!

Thank you so much Breizh.

I have many documents about rupture disc. However Phillip's articles are so important.
Thanks for your help

However Phillip's articles are so important.

As above, contact him on LinkedIn. I do not foresee the Articles being restored on this site.

I can't contact him because of no connection between us. I sent him an invitation, waiting his acceptance.

Falah,

As others found out, we cannot get access to the documents, but we get access to comments he did on the subject, googling:

"phil pleckner's articles about rupture disks site:www.cheresources.com"

 

By the way what kind of information are you looking for?

l read the part 1 of the article before . I do not need any specific information,
I just read the question raised in the thread below, post 2 by gvdlans, so l tried to read the article to understand the question better. I am thinking to how backpressure effects the rupture disk if innstalled in combination with PSV or individually.
I will read the documents you raised.
