Zook RA8 Bursting Discs – Reverse Acting Metal

The Zook RA8 Bursting Discs (rupture disks) are designed to cover the majority of medium pressure Bursting Discs (rupture disks) applications. They are specifically designed to be used in the RAH type holder. This is a Pre-Torque holder specifically designed for easier maintenance in your process line. They are a unique holder designed for use with multiple types of ZOOK Reverse-Acting metal rupture discs.

  • Standard operating ratio of 90% of the marked rating on disc tag. May be extended to 95% of the minimum burst pressure. (Contact ZOOK for operating ratio on pressures below 40 psig)
  • Sizes from 1″ (25mm) through 24″ (600mm)

Safety Relief Valve Protection:
When a disc is mounted under a Safety Relief Valve, the working components of the valve are isolated from hostile environments.

Option Liners:
TFE liners are available to provide protection from corrosive media. Please note that the maximum temperature ratings for discs supplied with liners is lower than an unlined disc.

Features:
