Extruder rupture disc dimensions

Proper Installation

Rupture Disc installation is very critical. They must be installed flush on the inner barrel of the extruder.

If there is an excessive dead space, plastic material may harden and form a plug. This may render the extruder rupture disc ineffective, and cause a safety hazard.

 

 

Temperature Effects on Rupture Disks

Rupture Disc are effected by temperature. Below is a table of how to change ratings of rupture disks based on temperature. All MPI rupture disks have Inconel diaphragms, so are not greatly temperature dependant.

Rupture Disk Temperature Effects

Description

MPI extruder rupture discs are used for reliable economical pressure relief in plastic extruders.

The Inconel Disc material ensures they will instantly rupture at a specific pressure over a wide temperature range.
