The HPX – Ta Bursting Disc is a Tantalum semicircular scored reverse acting rupture disc designed specifically for use in highly corrosive media, such as bromine, chlorine, HCL, nitric acid or sulphuric acid. In certain concentrations, temperatures and moisture conditions, Tantalum is frequently the only suitable bursting disc material for the application. HPX holder corrosion resistance can be enhanced by Tantalum lining or coating of the holder components.
During the processing of dry chlorine, humidity can enter into the system while pulling a vacuum which increases the mixture of moisture with the chlorine that will corrode other bursting (rupture) disc materials. To prevent an unplanned shutdown for maintenance, the HPX – Ta Bursting Disc is recommended for corrosion resistance where other bursting -rupture disc materials are not suitable.
The HPX – Ta Bursting Disc and HPX-PT (pre-torqued) Holders with Tantalum lining are used in applications where corrosive media is being processed in glass or protective lined vessels. This combination of full Tantalum corrosion protection on the process side of the rupture disc assembly provides the compression required to seal the rupture
disc in the holder, which also provides a high level of corrosion resistance and ensures proper installation of the rupture disc assembly.
The HPX – Ta Bursting Disc with a Tantalum outlet ring which mates with an HPX holder with Tantalum coating on the holder inlet and outlet, provides complete corrosion resistance

Assentech- Geodesic Dome Installation
Assentech were subcontracted to assemble and install a 25m geodesic dome for Shaft G on the Lee Tunnel project. My experience with Assentech from pre-contract through to assembly has been very positive. Unlike other subcontractors I have experienced on this project, Assentech had a very positive attitude to producing the level of documentation required for a project of this scale. Leading to a high quality pre construction packaged approved in a timely manner. The communication regarding the manufacturing process was first class allowing us to easily plan our works and prepare the site. Dome assembly was carried out very efficiently and completed to programme. The task was correctly resourced and well supervised. The work force had a positive attitude and carried out the task safely. In summary from my perspective it has been a very easy subcontract to manage with a high quality finished product.
