B.5.7 The selection and relevant technical requirements o f the bursting disc safety devices shall be
in accordance with GB 567.

B.6 Combined Installation o f Safety Valves and ursting Disc Safety Devices

B.6.1 f a bursting disc safety device is connected in series on the inlet side of a safety valve, when
the bursting disc bursts, there shall be no debris allowed. The cavity between the bursting disc safety
device and the safety valve shall be fitted with a pressure gage, an exhaust outlet and an alarm indicator.

B.6.2 f a bursting disc safety device is connected in series on the outlet side o f a safety valve, then
the safety valve shall adopt special s t r u c   type such as balance safety valve with bellows) to avoid
the accumulated backpressure between the safety valve and the bursting disc safety device, and to
ensure that the safety valve is still able to open under the set pressure. Meanwhile, the cavity between
the bursting disc safety device and the safety valve shall be equipped with exhaust outlet or liquid
discharge port.

B.6.3 When a safety valve and a bursting disc safety device are connected as series combination,
then the actuating pressure o f a single relief device and the excessive pressure limit o f the pressure
vessel shall meet the requirements in B3 .2.1.

B.6.4 Where the bursting disc safety device is connected in parallel to the safety valve, the actuating

pressure o f the relief device and the excessive pressure limit o f the pressure vessel shall meet the
requirements in B3 .2.2, in which the actuating pressure o f the safety valve shall not exceed its design
p r e s s u r   actuating pressure o f the bursting disc shall not exceed 1.05 times of its design pressure.
When the excessive pressure caused by the potential fire or close to the unpredictable external heat
source is taken into consideration, the actuating pressure o f relief device and the excessive pressure
limit of the pressure vessel shall meet the requirements o f B.3 .2.3 .
