Description
A line of rupture discs designed to replace shear pins and other moving devices, saving time and labor at the drilling site.
Designed to release pressure and activate downhole tools or to protect downhole drilling components from overpressure failures, our Well Activation and Safety Protection rupture discs use rupture disc technology to achieve high precision and reliability. These rupture discs are offered in two burst direction configurations: Type A and Type I.
Replace shear pins and other moving devices with our Well Activation and Safety Protection rupture discs, saving valuable time and labor at the drilling site.
Designed to release pressure and activate downhole tools or to protect downhole drilling components from overpressure failures, our Well Activation and Safety Protection rupture discs use rupture disc technology to achieve high precision and reliability.
These rupture discs are offered in two burst direction configurations: Type A and Type I.
Our Well Activation and Safety Protection rupture discs are designed for all well production applications, from exploration to drilling, completion and production.
Which type do I need?
Type A (External pressure) – Use these rupture discs to activate downhole equipment from the annulus during drilling or completion operations.
Type I (Internal pressure) – These rupture discs protect downhole equipment against overpressure inside the tubing or drill string. They can also be used to activate downhole equipment through internal pressure in tubing or drill strings.
Each type is offered in two versions:
Machined reverse-acting design (WMR): A one-piece design with a rupture disc machined from Alloy 625. The WMR Rupture Disc delivers high-pressure solutions up to 20,000 psig.
Welded tension-acting design (WSP): A three-piece design with an Alloy 600 rupture disc welded to a 316 stainless steel inlet and outlet. The WSP Rupture Disc provides low-pressure solutions up to 1,000 psig.
What are the benefits?
Fast delivery to keep operations running smoothly
Simple pressure activation, allowing operators to activate downhole tools and devices at any depth without relying on pyrotechnics, electronic signals or mechanical systems
Easy-to-replace parts that save drilling and production time by reducing downtime
Self-protecting rupture discs to minimize damage from downhole debris
