WARNING:  Always  handle  the  bursting  disc  with  extreme caution.  Nicks,  dents,  scratches  or foreign  material  may 
result  in  leakage  or  affect  the  burst  pressure.  Read  the  bursting  disc  tag  completely  before  installing  to  confirm 
that the size and type are correct for your system. 

1.

 

Carefully remove  the bursting disc from its packaging container. 

2.

 

Inspect  the  bursting  disc  for  damage.  Look  for  dents,  scratches  or  dings  in  the  seat  area  or  dents  in  the 
dome of the bursting disc (See Figure 1). 

3.

 

If  foreign  material  is  present,  carefully  clean  the  bursting disc  with  a  solvent  that  is  compatible  with  your 
media.

NOTE: Handle bursting disc holders with care. Damage to the bursting disc holder could affect the performance of the 
bursting disc. Do not install or use a bursting disc that has been damaged! 

 

1.

 

Carefully  take  the bursting  disc holder  apart  by removing the side clips  or cap screws  and discard  the white 
shipping protector  (See Figure 2). 

2.

 

Inspect  the  seat  area  for  scratches,  dents,  nicks  or  dirt. Flaws  may  adversely  affect  sealing  and  disc  burst 
pressure.
