Design temperature of pressure vessel rupture discs
Thread Content
The rupture disc of a pressure vessel is installed at the top of the vessel; in this case, how is the design temperature of the rupture disc determined? Is it based on the maximum operating temperature? Since there is usually no insulation at the rupture disc, how can this temperature be determined reasonably?
I think it should be based on the design temperature of the container; is the poster considering a fire scenario?
Since there is no insulation at the burst disc, is the temperature of the burst disc lower than the operating temperature?
