Thank you for the explanation. The disc is upstream. Overpressure is controlled by another means. I was told that the users of the gas have been caught using a forced air kerosene type heater on the tanks to get every bit of gas out of the tanks! Thats just too close to the line for me!
I have seen a plug used by another manufacturer of HBr use a SS plug that utilizes a Pt rupture disc. I was just reminded that this plug I'm working on will have a Tantalum rupture disc. Thin or not, with a melting temperature of 5463 deg F, how is that going to work. Its being used with...
Exactly, the plug is designed to offer a slightly less catastrophic situation. The end users equip the vessels with a scavenging unit that mounts to the plugs. Whether a high temperature event, corrosion, or any plug event, the gas is piped of to a safe area.
How would I figure this out on...
This is my first post, so I'll lay it out.
I'm working on a fusible plug that is installed in a cylinder. I've worked out that carbon steel 10 45 will be a suitable material for the plug itself. The issue is finding out if the meltable portion will be compatible with the gas.
