Rupture Panels

OSECO manufactures rupture panels in square, rectangular, and round configurations. These panels may be flat, crowned, and/or insulated, depending on type, style, and size.

Factors that should be considered when selecting a rupture panel:

  • Material of construction required
  • Media being vented
  • Normal operating temperature
  • Maximum temperature
  • Nominal working pressure
  • Rupture pressure required (Pstat)
  • Location of the vent (interior or exterior)
  • New or retrofit application
  • Static or cycling application
  • Vacuum condition
  • Vent area required

The advantages of using rupture panels over other methods of venting are econmical cost and a leak-tight seal. OSECO rupture panels are dependable and efficient. The composite construction provides strength for static and high vacuum applications. OSECO’s use of laser scoring technology provides exactness, dependability and repeatability in establishing set rupture pressures.

The finished product is a pressure sensitive rupture panel that is accurate, dependable and provides rapid response venting in the event of a deflagration.

Features and options of the OSECO rupture panel product include:

  • Leak tight seal
  • Standard and special sizes
  • Minimal or zero fragmentation
  • Flat or crowned designs
  • Broad range of materials available
  • Welded or bolted frames
  • Square, rectangle or round shapes available
  • Insulated panels for elevated temperatures
  • Rapid opening
  • Maximum vent area
  • Cycling or static service
  • Test certifications
  • Emergency service
  • Total in-house manufacturing capabilities

OSECO Rupture Panel Line

CRV Rupture Panels

OSECO’s Model CRV Rupture Panel is a heavy-duty design incorporating much thicker materials than standard rupture panel designs. Positive system pressure should be limited to 50% of Pstat. If exposed to vacuum in excess of 50% Pstat, vacuum bars should be added to the frame assembly.

The side-hinged design guarantees excellent performance while providing a safe, dependable and economic solution for limiting the damaging effects characteristic of deflagrations.

The exactness in design, manufacturing techniques, and testing, assures a superior product that provides over-pressure protection and with minimal or no fragmentation.

The Model CRV is an excellent choice for rupture panel applications when the rupture panels are subjected to high cycling service.

MV/MVS* Rupture Panel

OSECO’s newest innovation in the rupture panel product line is the MV (Metal Vent) Rupture Panel. This all-metal panel is available in many of the same sizes, temperature ratings and pressure ratings as the CRV rupture panels. The MVS is identical to the MV panel with the exception of the use of FDA approved gaskets for use in sanitary service applications. A vacuum support and ring is standard for all applications. Standard rupture panel frames may be used for MV and MVS installations. The SVT-03 sensor is also available to make your rupture panel system complete. The Model MV/MVS is an excellent choice for vacuum service or where product build-up is a concern

*MV/MVS panels are available in select sizes only. Consult Advanced Rupture Disk Technology for your specific application.

CRVC Rupture Panels

OSECO’s Model CRVC Rupture Panel is a domed, rectangular design that withstands higher positive or negative system operating pressures than flat panel designs. Panel frame vacuum support bars that may restrict flow are not required. The CRVC is well suited for high cycling service.

The side-hinged design guarantees excellent performance while providing a safe, dependable and economic solution for limiting the damaging effects characteristics of deflagrations.

The exactness in design, manufacturing techniques and testing, assures a superior product that provides over-pressure protection and with minimal or no fragmentation.

CRP Rupture Panels

The OSECO CRP Rupture Panel is a ligh weight rupture panel design. It’s superior opening characteristics provide maximum relief area.

The “four-petal” opening gives you a complete opening and instantaneous relief for deflagrations that occur in mere milliseconds.

The CRP design allows for use in a variety of applications such as grain dust, plastic powder residue or dust accumulation from any process. the NFPA 68 and 61 guidelines were taken into consideration in the design and development of the CRP.

Since 1982, the CRP has been instrumental in the protection of personnel and equipment. The design allows for complete relief area and minimal, if any, fragmentation. When used with the SFT-03 sensor it can be relied upon to provide the best method of explosion venting and protection.
