Continental Disc Announces Rupture Line Expansion The company is expanding its APX rupture disc line. Now available in 6-inch and 8-inch sizes, the APX provides greater flexibility and protection for larger-diameter pressure relief appli cations across a wide range of industries. The APX rupture disc is engineered for superior performance under demanding operating conditions. With high operating ratios (up to 95%), tight burst tolerances and a nonfragment ing design, the APX delivers precision pressure relief with minimal downtime and reliability. The introduction of the 6” and 8” sizes meets growing demand in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and energy, where larger piping systems and vessels require robust overpressure protection without compromising responsiveness or durability. The line also of fers 95% operating ratio for maximum efficiency and is compatible with a full range of insert, reduced height, pretorqued and double-disc holders in various material. contdisc.com. Equilibar Introduces Series for High-Flow Applications The IC Series is a new industrial collection of valves for back pressure, vacuum and flow con trol applications with high throughput. Featuring the company’s dome-loaded multiple-orifice technology, these valves and regulators provide best-in-class performance in a practical, compact size. They are easily customized for a variety of applications and are well suited for demanding gas, liquid and mixed phase fluid applications that involve high valve flow coefficient (Cv). Designed to offer virtually instantaneous control and precision for even the most challenging process conditions, a supple diaphragm is the Equilibar regulator’s only moving part, enabling frictionless operation. Because it is dome-loaded, it provides reliably stable pressure control. At the same time, the multiple orifice design results in an ultra-wide flow range. Port sizes for the IC Series are available from 1.5 to 3 standard, with custom sizes on request. equilibar.com
