COSTS
* turnaround costs: conservative assumptions, based on experience within the chemical industry.
• Replacement of an unprotected valve is about 30 - 40% per turn-around
• Replacement of a valve protected by a Fike rupture disc, is about 0 - 15%
• Replacement of Fike rupture discs is about 35% per turn-around, at an average cost of $380 per disc
= SaVINGS
THaT’S a SavINgS Of $57,950 pEr TurN –
your investment in fike rupture discs is paid for in about 1.5 turns.
GREATER SAVINGS: It is possible to eliminate the use of more exotic valve internals (i.e. Hastelloy®) necessary
for harsh or corrosive process environments, when using a disc assembly manufactured from the same material.
Other HIDDEN COST Considerations:
• Using more expensive Prvs than necessary
• Unscheduled outage/downtime for damaged Prvs
• loss of product or process media
• Fugitive emission fines
• Expensive Prv inventory
