RUPTURABLE RELIABILITY DEVICES FOR CONTINUOUS FLOW REACTOR ASSEMBLIES

摘要

A flow reactor assembly (10) includes a fluidic module (12,14,16) which include a module body (18) having an internal flow path (20) in communication with an inlet (22) and an outlet (28) and a module burst pressure. A pressure relief valve (36,38,40) relieve pressure within the fluidic module (12,14,16). The pressure relief valves (36,38,40) have a relief pressure value that is less than the module burst pressure. Rupturable reliability devices (50,52,54,56) have a fluid passageway extending therethough through which fluid is received from or directed to the fluidic module (12,14,16). The rupturable reliability device (50,52,54,56) includes a tubular body having a device burst pressure that is greater than the relief valve pressure value (36,38,40) and less than the module burst pressure (12,14,16).
