Why is a Rupture Disc Installed Upstream of a PSV?, Explained with Diagram, Rupture Disc, Pressure Safety Valve
Hello Engineers, In this video, we explore the reason behind installing a Rupture Disc (RD) upstream of a Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) in process systems. Whether you're a chemical engineer, process engineer, or a student preparing for interviews or exams, this video will give you a clear and visual understanding of the RD + PSV configuration using a simple 2D diagram.
