Precision rupture panel prevents product buildup and contamination
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (June 5, 2008) – To provide precision pressure relief for applications where hygiene and sanitation are concerns, Oklahoma Safety Equipment Co., Inc. (Oseco), a leader in pressure relief innovation, introduces the MVRB (Metal Vent Reverse Buckling) rupture panel.
The MVRB can avert catastrophic explosions caused by overpressures in dust collectors, conveyor systems, dryers and other equipment requiring precise pressure relief. Its smooth surface prevents product buildup and contamination, making it well-suited for hygienic and sanitary services. The non-fragmenting design increases process safety in the event of panel rupture. The MVRB is compatible with a wide range of environments, performing consistently in high temperature applications up to 700ºF.
The MVRB is designed for high operating ratio applications in the power generation, pharmaceutical, transportation and chemical markets. It is the only rupture panel available that has a 90% operating ratio – a design feature that is essential in demanding applications in order to avoid premature panel rupture. With reduced nuisance failures, the panel life of the MVRB is longer than that of typical panels.
The round panels are constructed from stainless steel, nickel inconel or monel, and are available in diameters from 12 to 36 inches. The MVRB should be installed using a custom designed rolled angle ring configuration. Custom sizes, materials, and panels designed to withstand vacuum are also available upon request.

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (February 15, 2007) - One of Oseco’s best-selling pressure relief product ranges is the versatile line of FAS bursting disks. The company is now manufacturing a 24″ FAS, which is their largest forward-acting scored disk offered.
In the past, large disk applications had limited options and often needed disks from different product lines, requiring more work for engineers. With the addition of the large 24″ disk customers can cover many of their disk needs with the same product line, for easier specification.
The 24″ FAS is non-fragmenting, keeping disk pieces from entering a piping system in the event of a disk burst. The disk can withstand full vacuum and will operate at up to 90% of the stamped rating and still provide excellent service life. In addition, the disk performs well in static and high-cycling services. The scored portion of the disk is placed away from the process, preventing product buildup and making it ideal for sanitary applications.
Though proper installation is an important factor in disk performance, the 24″ FAS will activate at or below the rated burst pressure even when damaged or installed incorrectly, making it fail-safe. The user-friendly, non-torque sensitive design eliminates the need for pre-torqued rupture disk holders.
This latest addition to the FAS line, which is available in a wide range of sizes from 1″ up to the new 24″, allows customers and engineers to choose from an increased range of disks that suit many needs within a single facility. It is available in Hallestoy, 316 Stainless Steel, Nickel, Inconel and Monel; other materials are available upon request.

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (December 21, 2006) - Pharmaceutical processes require precise rupture protection, and Oklahoma Safety Equipment Co., Inc.’s (Oseco) S-PRO-S and PROLP disks are specially suited for these applications. These disks, along with Oseco’s full line of rupture protection products, will be on display at the Interphex Conference and Exhibition, February 1-2 in Puerto Rico.
Oseco’s S-PRO-S combines a bursting disk and sensor into a single assembly, eliminating the need to install a separate sensor. A burst disk breaks the sensor’s circuit and triggers the activation of an alarm, allowing overpressure situations to be corrected with a minimum of process downtime. The design minimizes product buildup, prevents contamination from rupture disk pieces, and is ideal for use in sanitary services such as pharmaceutical manufacturing. The uni-body system is able to withstand full vacuum (14.7 psi) without a separate vacuum support.
The PROLP rupture disk operates in very low pressure vessels, where equipment operating costs are key considerations. It has a fully opening, perimeter-scored design which utilizes Oseco’s unique computerized load cell technology. The scoring accuracy means this highly specialized disk is well-suited for most gas, vapor or liquid low pressure applications, such as those found in pharmaceutical plants.
In addition to these disks, Oseco’s full line of precision rupture disks, rupture panels and sensors will be on display at the show. Visitors may register to win a DVD player at the company’s booth, 1336, until the winner is drawn on the last day of the show.
