Rupture Disc Burst Indicators
Burst indicators are used to provide instantaneous notification of a rupture disc activation or leakage through the disc. Depending on the device selected, Fike burst indicators can be used to activate alarms, bells, remote annunciators or interfaced with process control systems, so that appropriate safety follow-up measures can be taken. Use this selection guide to help you determine the most appropriate Fike rupture disc burst indicator for your industrial or sanitary application.
