Forward Acting Rupture Disc ODV
ODV is primarily used for applications with low to medium pressures, e.g. for gases, liquids and applications with two-phase flows. The disc has a standard operating ratio of max. 80 %*. For burst pressures of less than 1 barg, ODV can be installed directly between flanges or angular rings.
The burst element is located on the side facing away from the process to protect it against corrosive media. The breaking points are cut into the burst element using lasers and define the burst pressure by length, number quantity and geometry. The sealing element prevents gases from escaping in normal operation. The vacuum support, as the name suggests, enables ODV to be used in processes with a vacuum.
* Depending on the specific application.
