Engineering Information
Minimum and maximum pressure ratings are applicable at 72° F.
SVI Flanges are 316 stainless steel or Inconel.
Manufacturing Range:
- Inconel and nickel rupture disks (bursting discs) are available with 5% and 10% manufacturing range.
- On these 5% and 10% manufacturing ranges, the total range is placed on the minus side of the requested pressure rating.
Example:
If a 200 psig SVI is ordered with a 10% manufacturing range, it may be tagged at any pressure between 200 psig and 180 psig.
Burst Tolerances:
Burst tolerances are the maximum variation from the above tagged burst pressure.
Disks tagged above 40 psig. Burst Tolerance ± 5%.
Disks tagged 40 psig and below: ± 2 psi.
Recommended maximum temperatures for each metal are:
Inconel: 900° F.
Nickel: 750° F.
