Maintaining safety when transporting dangerous liquids and gases
Transporting liquid or gaseous products by road, rail and sea requires economical yet reliable pressure relief devices. Intermodal containers, road tankers and rail cars must meet international safety requirements for transporting dangerous goods. This includes installing a suitable pressure relief device.
OsecoElfab manufactures a full line of bursting discs for the tank container, road tanker and rail industries. Our rupture discs ensure the transported goods reach their destination safely and intact. They minimise damage and product leakage in the case of explosion or implosion, and ensure transport routes (road or railway) remain safe and usable should a vehicle suffer damage.
Our product range covers the standard industry burst pressures and sizes, and can manufacture specialty discs outside these specifications. Contact us to discuss your custom requirements in more detail.
Liquid nitrogen storage typically employs rupture discs as secondary pressure relief, offering an alternative back-up safety device should the primary safety relief valve fail to operate successfully. Many other containers for transporting and storing industrial or cryogenic gases may be fitted with rupture discs to prevent catastrophic events.
