Bormann & Neupert by BS&B systematically accelerates the customised prototype development and production of rupture discs. Original equipment manufacturers benefit from customised pressure relief solutions in the shortest possible time. Rapid technological progress and shortened product development cycles are presenting manufacturers and suppliers with ever greater time challenges. Bormann & Neupert by BS&B has now further systematised the rapid provision of project-specific rupture disc prototypes. The supplier of industrial safety technology and pressure relief systems has optimised the structure of its internal development process. The aim is to better meet the increasing demands of original equipment manufacturers worldwide, for example in the automotive, aerospace and chemical and process engineering sectors, and to support them in bringing customised products to market at an early stage. Very short path to series production As pressure relief devices, rupture discs protect against the dangers of critical overpressures of gases, liquids or steam. ‘These important, safety-relevant components are often considered very late in the overall product development process, when other design parameters

Depending on their size, the IDV safety valves with inline design from Bormann & Neupert by BS&B offer up to three times the flow capacity of conventional safety valves and are particularly compact and lightweight. Pressure relief valves protect production, transport and storage facilities in the chemical industry and process engineering from the dangers of unauthorised overpressure. Precise response behaviour and high flow capacities are decisive factors for functional safety, efficiency and economy. Thanks to its inline design, the IDV safety valve from Bormann & Neupert by BS&B offers up to three times the capacity of a conventional API safety valve that fulfils the same regulations and standards. Thanks to the increased flow capacity gained, engineers and operators are able to optimise their pressure safety systems and reduce the pipe configuration by one or more nominal sizes in many applications. Less weight, dimensions and costs Both connection flanges of the IDV valves - available in accordance with ANSI/ASME B16.5 or DIN - have identical dimensions and are in line. They can be mounted both horizontally and vertically, which further increases application flexibility.

Fike has introduced a bidirectional explosion diverter to enhance its range of passive explosion protection equipment. The explosion diverter - also referred to as back flash interrupter or explosion decoupler - will enable the protection of new and existing vessels to be validated using a passive device. There are 9 nominal sizes available for the Fike explosion diverter, ranging from DN100 to DN600. As standard explosion vents are not suitable for this application, Fike offers a third-party-tested and -approved non-fragmenting explosion vent certified for use on this type of device. The bulged vent ensures a smooth flow diversion; coupled with low burst pressure and inertia, the diverter will provide a low risk of flame propagation beyond the diverter. If a deflagration is allowed to propagate through a conveying line, this may cause pressure piling, rapid flame acceleration and transition to detonation if not disengaged in a timely manner. The resulting explosion
