The BDI-FLX Burst Disc Sensor System provides instantaneous notification of a burst rupture disc. When combined with an alarm monitor, this system protects lives, equipment and the environment.
Designed for use with ASME and DIN flanges or sanitary applications, the BDI-FLX employs a sensor strip with a flexible potentiometer (an electrical component that varies resistance in response to deflection) to signal a burst disc.
How the BDI-FLX Burst Disc Sensor System works
The BDI-FLX Burst Disc Sensor System maintains a continuous signal with an alarm monitor. If the disc bursts, the BDI-FLX Sensor System notifies the alarm monitor by opening the electrical circuit.
Continental Disc Alarm Monitors contain replaceable modules with individual channel relays. Each channel relay connects to one BDI-FLX Sensor System. As the rupture disc bursts and the BDI-FLX Sensor System indicates the event, a specific relay is actuated, sending a signal to the control panel.
-The BDI-FLX Sensor System can adapt to a variety of warning devices. Control panels, annunciators, light panels or other signaling devices can be used to warn of a ruptured disc
-Individual relay circuitry allows users to monitor several BDI-FLX Sensor Systems simultaneously
-The BDI-FLX Sensor System can also notify of overpressure situations when paired with pumps, valves and other systems
-If the BDI-FLX Sensor System loses power, it defaults to an open circuit
