Reverse acting rupture discs for stable operating pressures
Reverse buckling rupture discs designed to withstand pressure cycling while ensuring accurate burst performance.
Microscored disks, for better resistance at all operating pressures

The primary characteristic of compression rupture discs (the Reverse Buckling models) is their ability to maintain curvature, and thus a stable performance, until inversion pressure is reached; this allows them to easily boast working pressure to inversion pressure ratios around 90%, even in the presence of counterpressures; these bursting discs are often also autosupporting against vacuum.
Such a profile makes DonadonSDD’s Reverse Buckling rupture disks particularly suitable for the isolation of safety valves, both in the presence of liquids and in gas-only situation; their performance remains constant even after thousands of pressure cycles, making them a product of the highest versatility and reliability.

Depending on disc’s type, DonadonSDD can supply discs from 1/8” (3mm) up to 40” (1000mm) in diameter.
You can download here the RUPTURE DISC FORM that will guide You to collect all the data required, which can be also summarized as below specified:
- required burst pressure & burst temperature
- nominal size, flange rating & face finishing
- disc and holder material
- vacuum resistance (if requested)
- Pressure Safety Valve protection (if requested)
There are several other factors as well, so DonadonSDD specialists are always at disposal to specify the correct disc for any application. Each and every rupture disc we design and deliver to our customers is scrupulously custom-built, so as to match the industrial plant’s specific and unique needs.
