High (HV) and Ultrahigh (UHV) Pressure Relief

Vacuum systems are engineered to operate under external (atmospheric) pressure loads, and not intended for internal pressurization.  Accu-Glass Ultrahigh (UHV) and High In-Vacuum (HV) pressure relief products are important and preventative safety devices designed to protect vacuum systems against internal over-pressurization.

There are many scenarios in which rapid pressure buildup inside a vacuum vessel may occur — such as a runaway gas back-fill operation.  Besides protecting delicate system instruments and equipment, such as vacuum viewports — UHV and HV Vacuum Relief products minimize the risk of injury to system operators and other laboratory personnel.

The following chart is for the Burst Discs only.  For the Variable Pressure Relief Feedthroughs, please click on that option below.
