New rupture disc

Opti-Gard High-Strength Magnet (OPM) will benefit customers in the oil and gas industry and makes the Opti-Gard range suitable for an even wider range of applications.

The Opti-Gard system comprises a reverse-acting rupture disc, a single-design holder and Flo-Tel, a non-invasive, ATEX-approved detector. The Flo-Tel sensor fits into the rupture disc holder while a magnet is attached to all Elfab rupture disc products. When the disc bursts, the magnet arcs away from the sensor and produces an open circuit signal. After functioning, only the disc needs to be replaced, saving on material costs and downtime.
