Safety devices for protection against excessive pressure - Part 3: Safety valves and bursting disc safety devices in combination (ISO 4126-3:2020)

This document specifies only the requirements for a product assembled from the in-series combination
of safety valves or CSPRS (controlled safety pressure relief systems) according to ISO 4126-1, ISO 4126-4
and ISO 4126-5, and bursting disc safety devices, according to ISO 4126-2, installed upstream of the
valve within five pipe diameters of the valve inlet. It specifies the design, application and marking
requirements for such products, composed of the bursting disc safety device, a safety valve or CSPRS
and, where applicable, a connecting pipe or spool piece. In addition, it gives a method for establishing
the combination discharge factor used in sizing combinations.

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Introduction
Bursting disc safety devices can be used upstream of safety valves in the following cases:
a) to protect the safety valve against corrosion, fouling or operating conditions which could affect the
safety valve performance;
b) to prevent leakage;
c) to prevent total loss of contents from the protected equipment following the bursting of the
bursting disc.
The term combination is used to describe the close-coupled (i.e. within 5 pipe diameters) assembly of
a bursting disc safety device upstream of a safety valve or controlled safety pressure relief systems
(CSPRS), as defined by this document. Requirements for other installation arrangements of bursting
discs with safety valves or CSPRS are defined in ISO 4126-9.

Calculate the total inlet pressure drop (difference of stagnation pressures, i.e. non-recoverable losses)

national codes or regulations regarding the total inlet pressure drop. The pressure drop shall include
the effects of isolating valves, fittings and bursting disc safety devices.
NOTE 1 This guidance is not intended to cause a redesign of existing systems that have demonstrated stable
operation during valve discharge.
The space between the bursting disc safety device and the safety valve or CSPRS shall be provided with
a connection to prevent or detect an unacceptable build up in pressure.
NOTE 2 Bursting discs, being pressure-differential devices, require a higher pressure in the protected
equipment to burst the bursting disc if pressure builds up in the space between the bursting disc and the safety
valve or the CSPRS. This occurs when leakage develops through the bursting disc due to corrosion, due to back
pressure in the discharge piping or other cause.
After bursting, the bursting disc petals shall not protrude into the valve inlet unless the influence of the
petals on the capacity and performance of the safety valve or CSPRS have been assessed and proven to
meet the requirements of Clause 7.
The design of the bursting disc safety device shall be such that on bursting, release of bursting disc
material shall not impair the performance of the safety valve or the CSPRS.
The nominal pipe size of the bursting disc safety device shall be not less than the nominal size of the
inlet of the safety valve or CSPRS.
6 Installation of combination
The discharge of the combination shall be disposed of safely and be prevented from unintentional
flowing into other equipment to create a hazard (for example, into equipment out of service or
undergoing maintenance). The discharge pipe, between the outlet of the combination and the
atmosphere or venting system, shall always be adequately drained to prevent accumulation of liquids.
Provisions shall be made to absorb the reaction forces expected during the discharge of material.
The supplier of the combination shall provide a

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 185, Safety devices for protection against
excessive pressure.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4126-3:2006), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Throughout: Eliminated unnecessary references and definitions
— Clause 5: Inlet line and pressure drop requirements from prior clause 6.2 were moved to Clause 5
and a reference to ISO 4126-9 was also added.
— Clause 7: Deleted specific references to specific EN standards to refer to the applicable pressure
vessel standard to reflect the global nature of this standard.
— Clause 9: The restrictions for F values less than 0,97 were eliminated.
d
— Clause 12: Clarified the applicable minimum bursting pressure for which the F value can be used
d
for sizes larger than those flow tested.
— Clause 14: Added a requirement for the supplier to provide a test certificate if the F being used is a
d
certified combination discharge coefficient.

Introduction
Bursting disc safety devices can be used upstream of safety valves in the following cases:
a) to protect the safety valve against corrosion, fouling or operating conditions which could affect the
safety valve performance;
b) to prevent leakage;
c) to prevent total loss of contents from the protected equipment following the bursting of the
bursting disc.
The term combination is used to describe the close-coupled (i.e. within 5 pipe diameters) assembly of
a bursting disc safety device upstream of a safety valve or CSPRS, as defined by the part of ISO 4126.
Requirements for other installation arrangements of bursting discs with safety valves or CSPRS are
defined in ISO 4126-9.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 4126-3:2019(E)
Safety devices for protection against excessive pressure —
Part 3:
Safety valves and bursting disc safety devices in
combination
1 Scope
This part of ISO 4126 specifies only the requirements for a product assembled from the in series
combination of safety valves or CSPRS (controlled safety pressure relief systems) according to
ISO 4126-1, ISO 4126-4 and ISO 4126-5, and bursting disc safety devices according to ISO 4126-2
installed upstream of the valve within five pipe diameters of the valve inlet. It specifies the design,
application and marking requirements for such products, composed of the bursting disc safety device,
a safety valve or CSPRS and, where applicable, a connecting pipe or spool piece. In addition, it gives a
method for establishing the combination discharge factor used in sizing combinations.
