Commitment to excellence can be seen in BS&B’s Bursting Disk designs. This commitment ensures the product you receive will operate safely and efficiently.
Buckling Pin Valves
BS&B produces fast acting/quick opening buckling pin devices (inline and angle) designed to protect personnel, equipment and environment from the dangers of overpressure. Buckling pin devices provide the accuracy of a rupture disk. However, because of because of the devices quick and easy field-reset and ability to remain installed during reset, plant downtime is dramatically reduced. Sizes range from 2” to 60” for buckling pin relief valves. In fact our 60” BPRV, first released in 2007, was the world’s largest ASME certified pressure relief device in the world. Buckling Pin Angle Valve was the first API-526 piping configuration buckling pin valve. Its sizes are 1”x1.5” to 8”x10”.
BPRV™
Buckling Pin Relief Valve
The BPRV is an in-line pressure relief device which offers quick and simple field reset without removal from the piping system. This nonreclosing pressure relief device provides practical technology for the protection of applications containing one or more of the following conditions:
• Continuous Processing (fast reset in the line)
• Hazardous Service (limits operator exposure)
• Large Line Size (convenient reset in the Line)
• High Capacity
• Inaccessible Location (external reset in the line)
• High Operating Ratio
• Frequent Operation (fast reset in the line)
Explosion Protection Solutions
BS&B has proven itself to be the fastest growing manufacturer of industrial explosion protection technology with products designed to meet the requirements of the OSHA Combustible Dust National Emphasis program and the requirements of NFPA 654, and NFPA
documents 68 and 69. Products include:
• Equipment protection by explosion venting direct to atmosphere
• Equipment protection by flameless explosion venting
• Building protection by explosion venting
• Equipment protection by suppression
• Equipment protection by chemical isolation
• Equipment protection by mechanical isolation
• Dust testing for combustion characteristics
• Inspection of prevention and protection measures
