Standards Australia
Supersedes: AS 1358-1989 Bursting discs and bursting disc devices - Application, selection and installation
Draft Designation: DR 04219Amended by: AS 1358-2004 AMDT 1 Bursting discs and bursting disc devices - Application, selection and installation
Reconfirmed by: AS 1358-2004 Rec:2016 Bursting discs and bursting disc devices - Application, selection and installation
This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (February 2007). The changes required by the Amendment are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the clause, note, table, figure or part thereof affected.
After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.
The objective of this Standard is to provide requirements and guidance on the application, selection and installation of bursting discs and bursting disc devices.
The objective of this revision is to align the Standard with current international practice and specifically with ISO Standards.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.
Reconfirmed: 2016-05-27 Originated as AS 1358-1972. Previous edition 1989. Third edition 2004. Reissued incorporating Amendment No. 1 (February 2007).
This Standard provides requirements and guidance on the application, selection and installation of bursting discs and bursting disc devices.
