zook burst disk

A Zook burst disk is a type of pressure relief device used in industrial settings to protect equipment and personnel from overpressure situations. It consists of a thin metal disk that is designed to rupture at a specific pressure threshold, allowing the excess pressure to escape safely.

When the pressure inside a vessel or system exceeds the set pressure of the Zook burst disk, the disk ruptures and releases the excess pressure. This prevents catastrophic failures and protects the surrounding equipment and personnel from potential harm.

Zook burst disks are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. They are available in a variety of materials and sizes, and can be customized to meet specific application requirements.
