The GCR-S reverse buckling disk (photo) uses SAF (structural apex forming) technology, which enables very low burst pressure to be achieved with excellent opening characteristics. An integral energy-absorbing hinge is located on the downstream side of the disk, which means the GCR-S can perform in gas or liquid service with superior flow performance, says the manufacturer. Burst pressures as high as 20 bars and as low as 0.69 bar at 22°C can be accommodated by the GCR-S, and the disk will withstand full vacuum at all burst pressures. — BS&B Safety Systems Ltd., Limerick, Ireland
