A burst pressure disc for use on a jetting machine is a critical safety component designed to protect the system from overpressure. These discs are engineered to rupture at a specified pressure threshold, typically just above the maximum operating pressure of the jetting system. Constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel, they serve as a fail-safe mechanism in high-pressure environments.
The purpose of a burst pressure disc is to prevent catastrophic failure of hoses, pumps, or other equipment in the event of an unexpected pressure spike. If the system exceeds safe pressure limits due to a blockage or equipment malfunction, the disc bursts to release pressure and safely redirect the flow, protecting both the machine and operator from damage or injury.
Burst discs are essential for maintaining operational safety and ensuring compliance with safety standards in high-pressure jetting operations. They help extend the life of the equipment by preventing stress-related damage and reducing downtime caused by repairs or replacements after pressure-related failures.
