Description
Composite Rupture Disc (LPL)
The LPL composite rupture disc incorporates a fluoropolymer outlet liner, a metal top section and a process-side seal for additional protection against corrosion and buildup.
It is ideal for relief protection in primary and secondary systems, and an optional non-fragmenting design provides an effective means of fugitive emissions control when the disc is used to isolate a safety relief valve. The composite rupture disc is recommended for systems with a maximum operating pressure of up to 80% of the disc's marked burst pressure.
The LPL is suitable for static, cyclic or pulsating operating conditions, but requires a vacuum support to withstand vacuum. When placing an order, please specify whether your application requires a non-fragmenting disc.
The LPL includes a high-visibility flow direction tag for easy installation, correct orientation and quick inspection. All LPL rupture discs of 1″ (25 mm) nominal size or larger include a flow direction tag.
Our seven-hole pattern
Our composite rupture discs are designed with a seven-hole pattern at the apex of the rupture disc dome and six radial pre-cut sections. Used together with a non-metallic or fluoropolymer seal, these elements prevent fragmentation upon rupture.
The seven-hole pattern allows construction with heavier materials, resulting in a higher maximum recommended operating ratio – up to 80%.
Nominal sizes: 1″-12″ (25-300 mm)
Seat configuration: 30° angled seat
Ideal for fully threaded, insert and union rupture disc holders.
Burst pressure range: 4-1,440 psig (0.276-99.3 barg)

Operating temperature: Up to 1,000°F (538°C)
Depends on seal materials – see table.
Manufacturing range: See table.
Special and reduced manufacturing ranges are available upon request.
Available in a variety of materials to withstand highly corrosive media and atmospheric conditions.
Specified rating and MIN/MAX rating types are also available.
We manufacture options and accessories to ensure our rupture discs perform in any environment. Consult a representative if you are not sure which one you need.
The LPL design allows the use of highly corrosion-resistant sealing materials, such as fluoropolymer or exotic metallic materials. The disc's burst rating is determined by the slotted metal top section, so the seal or liner can be made of thin corrosion-resistant materials while still providing a wide range of burst pressures.
Cleaning
This disc is available cleaned for oxygen or chlorine service.
Corrosion resistance
We provide corrosion-resistant fluoropolymer disc liners and coatings when needed. Other protective materials are available upon request.
Dent protectors
Protect your rupture disc with a dent protector if the outlet dome (vent side) is exposed or at risk of damage.
Gaskets
Get a tight seal, even on scratched or pitted disc holders, by installing a gasket.
Handling holders
Improper handling during installation can affect your disc's burst pressure setting. Use handling holders when installing thin or delicate rupture discs to avoid damage.
Protective rings
Prevent damage to fragile rupture discs and delicate liners from foreign material in the seating area by adding a protective ring.
Vacuum supports
Protect your rupture disc from vacuum conditions with a vacuum support. Consult your LaMOT representative if you need protection against back pressure above 14.7 psig (1.01 barg).
When ordering a rupture disc that will be exposed to vacuum conditions, please specify the exact conditions. We manufacture our vacuum supports to be an integral part of the rupture disc. Vacuum supports are permanently attached to ensure proper installation.
