SAChE An Introduction To Managing Process Safety Hazards (ELA953) Practice Test

A rupture disc is generally considered a safeguard against which hazard?

Temperature Noise Humidity Pressure

Correct Answer:

Pressure

Explanation:

A rupture disc is a fast-acting pressure-relief device. Its job is to burst at a predetermined pressure to vent the process fluid and relieve buildup before the pressure gets high enough to damage equipment or cause a release. This makes overpressure the hazard it protects against. It’s not about controlling temperature, noise, or humidity, which are addressed by other safety measures. After it vents, the disc must be replaced, since it is sacrificial and single-use.
