Is there a rupture disc below this pressure sensing element?
Thread Content
A burst disc can’t be installed below this pressure sensing element, so what is this and what function does it serve? Seeking advice from experts
This is the symbol for a diaphragm pressure gauge; it should be an electric contact diaphragm pressure gauge
It is common to install pressure instruments behind the rupture disc; these instruments are usually of the electrical contact type and are used to detect whether the rupture disc has burst. Sometimes, the burst disc has already ruptured but it goes unnoticed; this can be used to detect that.

That one should represent the diaphragm used for pressure regulation; next to it are the safety valve and its set pressure
Diaphragms are also used in many level gauges during design
