DATA SHEET

HOV-FS
APPROVAL:
ASME
DESCRIPTION
The HOV-FS is a forward-acting, flat-seated rupture disc device, commonly used for overpressure protection
of steam turbine condensers. The HOV-FS utilizes similar technology as the conventional HOV (see data
sheet R.1.22.01), but is offered in larger sizes featuring a flat seat design. The HOV-FS features either a
single hinge (SH) or multi-petal (MP) opening style, depending on size, burst pressure and material. Typical
construction for the HOV-FS is a 316 SST top section and vacuum support, with an FEP Fluoropolymer seal.
Other seal materials are available on tables 1 and 2 to meet temperature and burst pressure requirements.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Alternate top and bottom section materials: Inconel 600, Monel 400, Nickel 200, Hastelloy C276
Can operate up to 80% of its marked burst pressure
Operates in both gas and liquid applications
ASME UD Certification available when used in Fike rupture disc holder

ACCESSORIES AND HOLDERS

HOV-FS Rupture Discs are designed for installation in a unique Fike G-insert holder assembly, which is
installed between ANSI B16.47 (please specify Series A or B) companion flanges. The HOV-FS, when installed
in the Fike G-insert holder assembly is designed for full-vacuum conditions. The unique HOV-FS GI (insert)
holder is designed and quoted depending on application specifications. The GI holder can also be designed
to contain the crown-section of the rupture disc, often required for fixed-piping installations.

The HOV-FS may be designed to be installed directly between standard process flanges; consult factory for
more information. Depending on the customer performance and equipment specifications, an inlet support
ring may be required for high-vacuum conditions. The customer may find it advantageous to use spool
sections to aid in installation and removal of the rupture disc.
