RuptureDiskBurstPressureCalculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the RuptureDiskBurstPressureCalculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the diameter of your rupture disk in inches.
  2. Enter the thickness of the rupture disk in inches.
  3. Enter the yield strength of the material used for the rupture disk in psi.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the estimated burst pressure.
  5. Use the "Reset" button to clear all inputs and start over.

Understanding the Calculation

The burst pressure of a rupture disk is calculated based on its physical dimensions and material properties. The formula used is:

Burst Pressure = 2 × π × Yield Strength × (Diameter² - Thickness²) / Diameter

This formula accounts for the material's resistance to deformation and the geometric properties of the disk that determine how pressure is distributed.

Important Notes

  • The calculated burst pressure is an estimate and should be verified against manufacturer specifications.
  • This calculator assumes a perfect circular rupture disk with uniform material properties.
  • The entered values should be in consistent units (all inches or all millimeters).
