INTEGRX-HPX™ Sanitary Rupture Disc

The Continental Disc IntegrX-HPX™ rupture disc addresses the need within the biopharmaceutical industry to improve process performance, reliability, and safety. The pioneering and innovative IntegrX-HPX™ combines the unrivaled performance of the legendary HPX with ASME BPE compliant crevice-free inlet design, removing the need for integral seals.

Traditional sanitary rupture disc designs limit access to the full spectrum of benefits delivered by HPX technology. The new IntegrX-HPX™ is a semi-circular, scored, reverse-acting rupture disc, perfectly suited for cyclic process conditions from full vacuum to 90-95% of the stamped rating. Its welded design mitigates the impact of downstream piping loads on the rupture disc burst pressure and overall performance. Continental Disc incorporated an external tag, aiding installation and providing clearly visible identification in the field and easy access to marked data.

IntegrX-HPX™ rupture disc offers a unique opportunity to boost efficiency, safety, and keep cost down by utilizing legendary HPX service life. The bold new design reduces maintenance, minimizes the chance of installation damage, and allows you to control the source and type of seal material without affecting rupture disc performance.

Versatile installation options, including between industry standard ferrules, Nov Aseptic® Connectors and others

Industry Applications

Chemical Processing

Our rupture discs are manufactured with chemical processing in mind – corrosion resistance, leak tightness, high accuracy and durability come standard.

Food & Beverage Processing

We understand that product purity and safety are critical in food-related industries, so we provide hygienic and aseptic vessels and piping to assure compliance with FDA and 3A requirements.

Oil & Gas (Petrochemical)

The hydrocarbon industries require cost-effective system protection with a special focus on reducing fugitive emissions. Our catalog of configurations, materials, burst ratings and sizes make our rupture discs the right choice for these operations.

Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology

We focus on solutions to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical processing – wherever perfectly hygienic facilities and hermetically sealed antiseptic systems are a must.

Powder & Bulk Solids

Control the release of overpressure in the storage and handling of powder and bulk solids with our large-scale vent panels and rupture disc systems. Our precision solutions provide deflagration relief anywhere static electrical charges may ignite dusty environments.

Water

As the water industry faces the challenges of ever-increasing demand, we continue to provide reliable and efficient solutions.
