Pressure relief specialist Elfab has become the first manufacturer to offer a rupture disc protected by a three-year warranty. Since its launch in 2004, Opti-Gard has proved so robust and reliable in operation that Elfab is offering a three-year warranty as standard on Opti-Gard discs supplied after 1 January 2011.
The Opti-Gard system comprises a reverse-acting rupture disc, a single-design holder with multi-flange compatibility and a non-invasive, ATEX-approved burst detector, Flo-Tel+.
Featuring an industry-leading tolerance of only 3% across a wide range of burst pressures and a 95% operating ratio, Opti-Gard offers the highest performance characteristics available for liquid, gas or vapour applications.
Opti-Gard’s performance has allowed the optimisation of process pressures for many of Elfab’s customers. Apart from lowering re-supply costs, this has reduced disc inventories by up to 60%.
Elfab is Europe’s leading manufacturer of rupture discs, bursting panels and associated detection devices. The company also delivers unique design, testing and consultancy services for pressure management.
