1 Scope
1.1 This Part of GB 567 specifies technical requirements for test principles and methods, test devices and instruments, test conditions and test preparation, test rules, test procedures, data processing and measurement uncertainty calculation, etc. for burst pressure testing, flow capacity testing, fatigue testing and flow resistance testing in terms of type tests of bursting disc safety devices.
1.2 This Part is applicable to the following bursting disc safety devices:
——This Part is applicable to the bursting disc safety devices used for pressure vessels, pressure pipes or other sealing pressure equipment (hereinafter referred to as pressure equipment) to prevent overpressure or excess vacuum;
——As for the bursting discs in the bursting disc safety devices applicable in this Part, the bursting pressure shall not be greater than 500MPa and not less than 0.001MPa.
1.3 This Part is not applicable to the following bursting disc safety devices:
——Pressure equipment, possible to increase pressure abruptly in the operation, reaching reaction rate at detonation degree.
——Bursting disc safety devices under the special requirements in the defense military equipment.
Note: detonation: phenomena generated very differently from the common burning and explosion when the burning rate of the material is as quick as above 1 000m/s.
