82Z47 - Victor Regulator Burst Discs - 5 Pack

Critical Safety Component for Gas Regulation Systems

The Victor 82Z47 Safety Release Disc is a vital component in the architecture of high-pressure gas regulation. Designed to act as a fail-safe mechanism, this rupture disc is engineered to burst at a precise pressure threshold, thereby venting excess gas and preventing the catastrophic failure of the regulator body or downstream equipment. In industrial environments where gas cylinders are handled daily, the integrity of the pressure relief system is paramount. This pack of five discs ensures that maintenance teams have the necessary OEM components to service regulators immediately upon detection of a fault or during scheduled overhaul intervals.

Precision Engineering and Compliance

Unlike generic replacements, genuine Victor safety discs are manufactured to exacting tolerances. The burst pressure of a safety disc is calibrated to the specific design limits of the regulator it protects. Using a disc with an incorrect thickness or material composition can lead to two dangerous scenarios: premature failure, which causes unnecessary downtime and gas loss, or failure to burst, which compromises the safety of the operator and the facility. The 82Z47 is strictly tested to meet the safety standards required for Victor's heavy-duty industrial regulators, providing peace of mind to safety officers and facility managers.

Maintenance and Installation

Replacing a safety release disc is a standard procedure in regulator maintenance but requires attention to detail. The disc sits within the safety cap assembly and must be seated correctly to ensure a proper seal during normal operation. These discs are single-use components; once a disc has ruptured due to an over-pressure event, it cannot be reset or repaired and must be replaced. Furthermore, if a regulator is disassembled for cleaning or repair, it is often recommended to replace the safety disc to ensure fatigue has not compromised its pressure rating. This 5-pack configuration is ideal for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) cribs, ensuring that a low-cost part does not become a bottleneck for critical welding or cutting operations.

Material Integrity

Constructed from specialized metal alloys, these discs resist corrosion and fatigue under normal operating pressures. However, they are designed to yield instantly when the pressure exceeds the safety margin. This instantaneous response is critical in preventing the projectile fragmentation of regulator bonnets or gauges. By utilizing the Victor 82Z47, you are maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications for safety and performance, a crucial aspect of liability management and operational safety in welding and fabrication sectors.
