which fits within the bolting pattern of ANSI,
DIN or JIS companion pipe flanges. Insert
Holders are furnished with pre-assembly
screws and side clips for bench assembly.
Installation of the holder is easy, as only
half of the companion flange bolts need
to be removed entirely in order to remove
the assembly for rupture disc replacement.

The Insert Holder is available in nominal

sizes ranging from 1/2" through 12" (13 -
300 mm) to mate with ANSI bolting classes
150# through 2500# and corresponding
DIN or JIS flanges. Standard materials of
construction include carbon steel, 304 or
316 stainless steel. Other materials are
available upon request. Refer to Table VI
for holder dimensions.

Tagging
Outside Diameter
Both full bolted and insert holders are
supplied with a permanently attached
stainless steel nameplate indicating flow Outlet
direction. A three dimensional stainless
steel flow direction tag is attached to the
rupture disc. Directional arrows on the tags
and nameplates provide immediate visual Companion Flange
verification that the holder and rupture disc
assembly have been properly oriented in
the system. In addition, whenever specific Height
holder identification tagging is required, a
stainless steel Customer Identification Tag
is attached for no extra charge. Companion Flange
