High Pressure Bursting Discs

High pressure bursting discs (high pressure rupture disks) provide a robust, passive safety mechanism for protecting high-pressure systems from uncontrolled overpressure. Designed for tightness, reliability and repeatability, these discs act as a final line of defence to prevent system damage and operational downtime.

We offer two standard formats: conical (cap form) bursting discs for extreme pressures, and flat, flanged bursting discs for medium-to-high pressure environments. Each unit is manufactured using high-integrity materials matched to your required pressure range and process media.

Conical (Cap Form) Bursting Discs

Our conical high pressure bursting discs are constructed from nickel or nickel-based alloys and engineered for operating pressures between 400 and 7,000 bar. Their cap form design works in conjunction with a cone-shaped pressure pad and a conical seat, delivering exceptional system tightness and reliable performance under extreme load.

• Pressure range: 400 – 7,000 bar
• Materials: Nickel, nickel-based alloys
• Installation: Used with cone-shaped pressure pad in conical screw connections
• Typical use: Ultra high-pressure pumps, test rigs and specialised pressure systems

Flat, Flanged High Pressure Bursting Discs

Flat, flanged bursting discs are available in nickel, stainless steel, nickel-based alloys or titanium, making them suitable for pressures below 400 bar. Installed above the pressure pad, this format offers easy access and compatibility with a wide range of high-pressure screw connections.

• Pressure range: Below 400 bar
• Materials: Nickel, stainless steel, titanium, nickel-based materials
• Installation: Positioned above pressure pad in high-pressure screw connections
• Ideal for: Medium-to-high pressure industrial systems

Applications

High pressure bursting discs (high pressure rupture disks) are widely deployed across industries where equipment protection and zero-tolerance for overpressure are operational priorities. Common applications include:

• High-pressure pumps and pump protection circuits
• Diesel high-pressure pump test benches
• Extraction systems and process equipment
• Water jet cutting plants
• General high-pressure distribution and safety systems

Custom Manufacturing & Integration

All high pressure bursting discs are produced to customer-specific dimensions and supplied with the appropriate high-pressure screw connection for either conical or flat disc formats. This ensures seamless integration, optimal sealing performance and correct burst behaviour within your system architecture.

Key Advantages

• Reliable, passive overpressure protection
• Precision performance across wide pressure ranges
• Material options to suit demanding process environments
• Extreme tightness in conical assemblies
• Reduced risk of equipment damage and expensive downtime

Designed for high-impact industrial environments, our high pressure bursting discs provide precision, durability and proven safety assurance across a broad spectrum of applications.
