LO-V

The Fike Lo-V is a bi-directional rupture disc that is designed to relieve undesired pressure conditions in two different directions. Certain types of applications, such as storage tanks, need protection from vacuum pressure as well as from potential overpressure. The primary relief can be via the reverse-buckling section, which is typically extremely low vacuum pressure, or the higher pressure-activated, forward-acting section. Depending on how the holder is oriented, the Lo-V can perform the tasks of two different rupture discs!
