SOLUTIONS FOR ALL APPLICATIONS
Zook RUPTURE DISKS
While many suppliers seem to think they have a handful of magic beans that are the answer to all applications, we at BARO know that this is not the case. This is especially true when it comes to safety of employees and equipment. Our partners at Zook feel the same way. This is why we offer the quality and diversity of the Zook line of rupture disks and disk holders.
These disks are uniquely designed with specific applications in mind. Whether it’s the need for innovative graphite rupture disk design or traditional all metal disks, BARO has the product to fit the specific need.
Available in GRAPHITE...AND...ALL METAL designs.
Rupture Disk Features
- Designed for Non-fragmentation
- Standard operating ratio of 90% of the marked rating on disk tag. Higher operating ratio available upon request. (Contact ZOOK for operating ratio on pressures below 40 psig)
- Disk designs offer high cycle life (when compared to forward-acting design disks)
- Certified for liquid, gas, or two-phase applications (RAX available for gas service only)
- Standard manufacturing ranges of 0%, -5%, and -10% ensures marked rating on disk tag does not exceed the MAWP of equipment.
- Withstands full vacuum without vacuum support
- Resists product build-up. The smooth convex side of the disk is exposed to the process media
- Unique alignment pin design ensures proper disk orientation into holder
- 3-dimensional stainless steel tag permanently engraved with complete disk specifications
- ASME UD, CE, and TUV marking available.
Safety Relief Valve Protection
When disk is mounted under a Relief Valve, the
working components of the valve are isolated from
hostile environments.
Option Liners
TFE liners are available to provide protection from
corrosive media. Note that the maximum temperature
ratings for disks supplied with liners is lower than the
unlined disk.
QUICK access rupture disk holders:
In keeping with our commitment to saving our customers time and money, we also offer the easily accessible Zook Pre-Torque Rupture Disk Holder. With its unique “swingout” design, the Zook Pre- Torque Rupture Disk Holder provides for quick disk removal and inspection without disturbing disk integrity or equipment breakdown

- pre-assembly of a rupture disk into a holder prior to field installation
- removal of the assembly from the piping system for inspection without disturbing the seal integrity of the Rupture Disk
- mounting between soft or fragile material flanges (PVC, Glass, etc.) and sealed by using a soft gasket material with low
torque on the companion flange bolting
- One holder design
- accepts multiple disk designs
- Disk dome is contained within inlet holder
- prevents damaging the disk during installation into mating flanges
- Locating pin
- allows only reverse-acting type disks to be mounted into holder
- Fluoropolymer coated socket head cap screws
- resists corroding to holder assembly
- provides easy removal without special sockets
- Polyethylene cap screw covers
- prevents debris from building up in cap screw head
- Sizes 1” thru 12”
- Standard Holder Materials:
- Carbon Steel
- 316SS, Hastelloy
- Holder information is permanently affixed to the O.D. of holder
- Bubble tight metal-to-metal bite and disk seal
- Flow direction arrows on disk tag and holder
- provide permanent visual verification that holder assembly is properly oriented in the piping system
- Flange class and type specific
- guards against installing an assembly into mating flanges with a different pressure rating than the rupture disk holder
- Positioning hole in mounting lug
- located in the exact position as the mating flange
- allows for proper alignment
- can be used as an extra “hand” when installing into horizontal piping
