Rupture disk problems are often associated with improper handling, installation, and selection. The following should be considered. • proper orientation. • Once a rupture disk is removed should not be reinstalled. • An improper torque could affect the opening pressure of the disk • Touching the rupture disk surface could lead to localized corrosion • Appropriate burst temperature should consider ambient heating or cooling. • installed away from unstable flow patterns to avoid premature failures Fion Zhang/ Charlie Chong
