"Allow me to introduce myself: I am the reverse-acting buckling pin rupture disc, KUB® for short, or better yet: the queen of rupture discs. I am the world's first rupture disc in which burst pressure is determined during manufacturing based on the critical buckling load according to Leonhard Euler, born in 1707. This makes me especially robust and high-performance; even the highest working pressures are nothing to me. Unlike conventional rupture discs with a predetermined breaking point, the pressure is distributed over the buckling pins covering my surface. I'm really something special and royally proud of that. I can also handle liquids well and I practically never get tired thanks to my operating ratio of almost 100 per cent. I have long been a guarantee of safety in process engineering within the chemicals, pharma, energy and food industries.
Plant engineers around the world rely on me and my family to quickly and reliably vent unwanted overpressure and vacuums while also having a stable process that is not constantly being interrupted by faltering rupture discs.
Yes, I have had an impressive career and enjoy my royal effect around the world. Thanks to the unbridled inventiveness of the REMBEⓇ engineers and technicians, my area of use has multiplied over the years. I am now known by all those who understand reliability and process safety. As a result, I even safeguard geothermal power plants in the most remote regions of the world. There, I protect the downstream safety valves from ammonia and ensure the utmost tightness. Or pipeline systems that need to be protected from overpressure in the most hard-to-reach regions on the planet. This is because there are unimagined consequences if something goes wrong there. That's why the engineers kneel before me and pay respect to me.
Yes, I have my price. But I give it back many times over in benefits. And that highlights my true greatness."
