Rupture Disc Sensor System

The BDI-FLX Burst Disc Sensor System utilizes an electronic instrument which provides instantaneous notification of the bursting of a rupture disc using versatile interface cable options. When combined with an alarm monitor, this system provides protection for lives, equipment and the environment.

Burst Disc Sensor System (Rupture Disc Sensor System)
Designed for use with ASME and DIN flanges 1”-12” (25mm-300mm) or sanitary applications 1”-4” (25mm-100mm), the BDI-FLX Burst Disc Sensor System utilizes a sensor strip with a flexible potentiometer (electrical component that varies resistance in response to deflection) to signal a bursting disc has burst.

The BDI-FLX Burst Disc Sensor System provides many benefits, which include:

⦿ Allows direct interface to PLC’s, DCS (Distributed Control Systems), alarm monitors or isolating barriers and can provide dry contacts for industrial controls

 

⦿ Improved durability:
  • The conductive element is fully encapsulated in corrosive resistant DuPont KAPTON polyimide film
  • The advanced technologies of the sensor strip minimize the risk of damage due to excessive stress beyond recommended bolting load
  • The alignment ring provides a rigid support for the sensor cable, minimizing cable strain

⦿ Modernized output cable connectors in accordance with IEC 61076-2- 101. IP67 rated M12 connector

BDI-FLX SENSOR SYSTEM, INCLUDING ALARM MONITOR

BDI-FLX SENSOR SYSTEM, INCLUDING BURSTING DISC ALARM MONITOR

A continuous signal flows between the BDI-FLX Burst Disc Sensor System and the Alarm Monitor under normal conditions. Once the rupture disc bursts, the BDI-FLX Sensor System indicates the event, opening the electrical circuit. NOTE: If the BDI-FLX Burst Disc Sensor System loses power, it defaults to an open circuit.

Continental Disc Bursting Disc Alarm Monitors contain replaceable modules with individual channel relays. Each channel relay connects to one BDI-FLX Sensor System. As the rupture disc bursts and the BDI-FLX Sensor System indicates the event, a specific relay is actuated, sending a signal to the control panel.

Control panels, annunciators, light panels or other signalling devices can be used to warn of a ruptured disc. The BDI-FLX Sensor System has the versatility to adapt to a variety of warning devices. The individual relay circuitry will allow the user to monitor several BDI-FLX Sensor Systems simultaneously.
Pumps, valves and other systems may also be activated to respond to an overpressure situation by the indication of a specific BDI-FLX Burst Disc Sensor System.
