What?
A bursting disc, rupture disc or burst panel is a section of material which is engineered to fail at a very specific pressure.
Why?
Unlike a relief valve, a bursting disc has no moving parts and is 100% leak proof. Using bursting discs can also be a very cost effective way isolating components from a process which allows more freedom in material selection for costly components.
