IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

1. It is important to always remember that a rupture disc is a safety device employed to protect pressure vessels or systems from catastrophic failure. With this in mind, the application of rupture discs should be assigned only to fully trained personnel and be in strict compliance with rules provided by the governing Codes and Standards

   
   

2. Rupture discs must be sized, selected and installed by those who have complete knowledge of:

   • The pressure relieving requirements of the system to be protected

   • The environmental conditions particular to that installation

   
   

3. Rupture discs sizing and selection is the responsibility of:

   • The process engineer

   • The user of the system to be protected

   
   

4. Sizing and selection of rupture discs should not be based on arbitrarily assumed conditions or incomplete information. Merely having a mandatory rupture disc installation does not make a system safe
