The HPX -Ta Rupture Disc
®

is a Tantalum semicircular
scored reverse acting rupture disc designed specifically for use in highly
corrosive media, such as bromine, chlorine, HCL, nitric acid or sulphuric acid.
In certain concentrations, temperatures and moisture conditions, Tantalum
is frequently the only suitable rupture disc material for the application.

APPLICATIONS
The HPX-Ta Rupture Disc can be used in a wide range of applications in many
different industries, some of which include:

the vent side of the rupture disc and holder
t ASME Code Section VIII, Division 1 compliance available when requested.
National Board Certified KR flow resistance values when installed in the
HPX Insert and HPX-PT (Pre-Torqued) Holders:
KRG (gas) = 0.29 and KRL (liquid) = 0.38
t Available option: Cleaned for oxygen or chlorine service
t In compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act, our Tantalum is procurred from
conflict-free smelters

BENEFITS
t Provides lower maintenance cost, greater reliability as compared to
alternate rupture disc types or materials
t Compatible with the HPX® Insert, HPX-PT® (pre-torqued) or HPX® Double
Disc holders
t Holder corrosion resistance can be enhanced by Tantalum lining or tt
t
coating of the holder inlet and/or Tantalum coating of the outlet holder
