Fike Introduces Large Atlas Rupture Disc

The Large Atlas rupture disc, an extension of Fike's Atlas product line, provides performance characteristics including burst tolerances, full vacuum/back pressure resistance, 95% operating ratio and large standard burst pressure offering, according to the company. The Large Atlas reportedly offers a solution where safety relief valves are not a viable alternative and holders with knife blades are no longer desired. The Large Atlas is suited for applications including chemical manufacturing, oil and gas and refineries.

The Large Atlas features a non-fragmenting opening, high back pressure resistance, cyclic durability and the ability to operate in vapor and gas applications (with a minimum free vapor volume), according to Fike.
