STRIKO SVT AM-L Low-Pressure Burst Indicator
The SVT AM-L is a burst detection device designed for rupture discs and safety valves in applications with very low differential pressure. It is specified where the available force after disc opening is minimal and standard burst indicators may not provide reliable actuation. The unit operates at differential pressures starting from 10 mbar.
Technical Specifications
- Type: Low-Pressure Burst Indicator SVT AM-L
- Application Range: Rupture discs and safety relief valves
- Minimum Indication Differential Pressure: from 10 mbar
- Nominal Diameter (DN): 25 to 600
- Installation Height: approx. 5 mm
- Compatibility: Suitable for STRIKO metallic and graphite rupture discs, as well as discs from other manufacturers
- Installation: Can be used with discs installed directly between flanges without a holder
Operational Role
The SVT AM-L does not influence relief flow calculations and does not alter the burst pressure of the disc. It is installed on the vent side and provides a status signal to PLC, DCS, SIS, or alarm panels following disc rupture or safety valve actuation.
Difference from SVT AM
The SVT AM is used for general burst indication. The SVT AM-L is selected for applications with very low activation pressures, such as storage tanks, filters, atmospheric or near-atmospheric vessels, and systems with limited allowable overpressure.
ATEX and Intrinsic Safety
STRIKO indicators are classified as simple electrical equipment when connected to intrinsically safe circuits. Installation must comply with EN 60079-11 and EN 60079-14, including appropriate barriers and zone documentation.
