Low-Pressure Rupture Disks

The ZOOK Z-VAC and Z-POS Series are a range of bi-directional rupture disk and holder assemblies designed to relieve between 1-30” WC in one direction and 2-150 psi in the other direction uniquely protecting processing, fermentation, storage tanks and low strength vessels from vacuum implosion or over-pressure failure in a single device. Both designs relieve ultra-low pressure settings. The Z-VAC allows ultra-low pressure relief in the vacuum direction starting at 1” (25 mm) of water column differential and features user friendly replaceable knife blades to ensure optimum performance. The Z-POS allows ultra-low pressure relief in the positive direction starting at 1” (25mm) of water column differential.
