Continental Disc Corporation announces:
WMP™ Welded Muffled Plug Rupture Disc Assembly

Continental Disc Corporation (CDC) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of bursting discs for overpressure protection. These can be supplied from the smallest screwed units to large panels that protect large silos or tanks for both vacuum and pressure.

Typically, flashings are fitted between holders which can make them sensitive to the torque they can be subjected to, especially for the smaller ones that are screwed into threaded connections. With this assembly, the rupture disc is welded together with the retainer onto a threaded nipple. The WMP™ Rupture Disc Assembly is a single-use unit that is screwed into a pressurized system. The disc is designed to relieve pressure in the process media in an over pressurized condition to protect equipment, personnel and the environment from catastrophic failure of pressure equipment or systems. It is designed for applications where the release to the atmosphere upon rupture is acceptable.

The WMP™ Rupture Disc Assembly is a unit where the metal rupture disc itself is welded to a threaded nipple together with the holder. The nipple has a hexagonal head with six holes in the side of the hexagon to distribute and disperse the venting in case of rupture of the rupture disc. The can with retainer is fully welded to the nipple to provide a bubble-tight seal. These bursting cans are designed to be used in threaded ports.

Benefits of the new WMP™ Rupture Disc Assembly include ease of installation, not sensitive to torque during assembly, welded to ensure bubble tightness, and that this is a disposable unit that is discarded after any rupture of the rupture disc.

The highly versatile WMP™ Rupture Disc Assembly is available with a wide range of burst pressures and temperatures, and can be used in a wide range of applications in many different industries, including:

Hydraulic applications
Actuators, Accumulators, Pumps, A/C Systems, Brake systems, High pressure washing systems

Pneumatic applications
Actuators, Accumulators, Test units, A/C Systems, Indicator panel protection, Test gas cylinder, Overfill protection
