Fragmentation
The term fragmentation refers to the area characteristic of a bursting disc upon reaching the burst pressure. Depending on various factors, bursting discs may open with or without fragmentation. Due to the material, STRIKO graphite bursting discs e.g. always open with fragmentation. For multilayer STRIKO metal bursting discs, the area characteristic depends on the pressure and temperature at which the discs are used.
