FSTCDFA - Forward Acting Rupture Discs

**FSTCDFA Forward Acting Rupture Discs: Enhanced Safety for Road and Rail Tankers** The FSTCDFA Forward Acting Rupture Discs are meticulously engineered composite discs comprising four key components: a slotted, perforated metal section; a sealing membrane (typically made from PTFE, but also available in various other metallic and non-metallic materials); a protective segment; and a calibration ring. These discs are specifically designed for installation on road or rail tankers that transport liquids and gases under static, cycling, and pulsating conditions. FSTCDFA discs respond to excessive pressure with a complete opening within milliseconds, making them an excellent choice for valve protection. Additional supports can be supplied for vacuum or counter-pressure protection. **Product Specifications:** - **Sizes:** 2" (DN50), 2.1/2" (DN65), 3" (DN80) - **Materials:** Stainless steel / Membrane: PTFE, PFA - **Rupture Pressure:** Ranges from 3 to 5 bar g - **Tolerance:** ± 5% - **Temperature Resistance:** Up to 265 °C - **Operating Margin:** Up to 80% - **Vacuum Support:** Available - **Fragmentation:** None (membrane only) - **Suitable for Use Under Valves:** Yes - **Corrosion Resistance:** Good - can be enhanced with a PTFE membrane - **Linings:** Yes - **Mounting:** Directly mounted on the container - **Rupture Sensor Options:** Electrical, Magnetic, Inductive, Optical - **PED Certification (CE Mark):** Available - **ATEX EX II 2 GD Certification:** Available To obtain a Rupture Disc Request Form, please download it and send the completed version to sales@flowstar.co.uk.

Reliance RWC 101 Series Pressure Relief Valve 1/2

Reliance RWC 101 Series Pressure Relief Valve 1/2" x 1/2" F x F 3 Bar - PREL101003

The PREL101003 Reliance Water Controls (RWC) 101 Series Sealed Heating System Pressure Relief Valve is designed to safely discharge water from the system at a predetermined pressure, providing essential protection against over-pressurisation within heating systems. The Reliance 101 Series Pressure Relief Valves are widely utilised as a crucial safety feature in sealed heating installations. Upon installation, the valve is calibrated to the correct pressure. If the pressure within the system exceeds this set threshold, the valve automatically opens, releasing water into the atmosphere. This functionality effectively prevents the system from reaching hazardous pressure levels that could potentially cause damage and pose risks to individuals nearby.

Features and Benefits:

  • Diaphragm design enhances resistance to scaling, resulting in a longer lifespan.
  • The straightforward removal of the single-piece cartridge allows easy access for cleaning or replacement.
  • Set relief pressure range from 2.0 bar to 6.0 bar provides flexibility in system design.
  • Available with FSBP or MBSP/FBSP connections for optimal installation versatility.
  • Exclusively suitable for heating applications.

Specification:

  • Size: 1/2" x 1/2"
  • Connections: BSP Female Inlet x BSP Female Outlet
  • Materials: Hot pressed DZR Brass
  • Medium: Water
  • Set Pressure: 3 Barg
  • Temperature: +140°C
  • Product Code: PREL101003
  • Notes: WRAS approved

Ensure the safety and efficiency of your heating system with the PREL101003 Reliance Water Controls Pressure Relief Valve—an essential component for maintaining safe operating conditions.

Push Button Drain Valve

Push Button Drain Valve

A marine push button drain valve is a manually operated, spring-loaded valve specifically designed to swiftly drain fluids—typically water, condensate, or small quantities of fuel/oil—from equipment or systems aboard ships. These valves are frequently found in locations where regular and controlled draining is essential, such as air reservoirs, filters, fuel systems, and low points in piping.

Purpose of a Push Button Drain Valve

  • Quickly release accumulated liquids (e.g., condensate or water) from:
    • Air tanks and compressors
    • Fuel or oil filters
    • Engine cooling systems
    • Pipe drains or low-point drains
  • Prevent system contamination or corrosion caused by trapped water

We offer a range of Push Button Drain Valves from several leading manufacturers. Please get in touch with us to discuss your specific requirements.
