Brian Pittel , Vice President , Manufacturing at Continental Disc . Brian provides an account of the journey that led the business to its current position .
“ Rupture discs were first developed in the early 1930s . At that time , lead plates were placed between flanges of pipes as a safety measure to prevent explosions . Those plates were essentially the predecessor of rupture discs . Continental Disc ’ s origins date back to 1965 , from a small group of disc manufacturers who decided to create their own rupture disc company . Since then , we have continued to build upon the core inherited products and expanded our product range to meet the diverse pressure relief needs of the industry , operating from a 96,000 square-foot facility ,” he says .
