Standard Specification for Paintball Cylinder Burst Disk Assemblies

ABSTRACT
This specification covers cylinder burst disk assemblies for paintball marker propellant sources their application and installation requirements. The materials and processes used to manufacture the burst disk assembly shall result in items with mechanical strength sufficient to pass the applicable burst pressure tests. Materials used shall be corrosion resistant, chemically compatible with the propellant used, and shall not promote galvanic action. The burst disk assembly and related port features shall be free of burrs and sharp edges. Burst disk assemblies intended for use with the specified service pressure shall meet the prescribed rupture pressure and temperature conditions. The relief hole in the burst disk assembly shall provide for flow to adequately vent the cylinder as specified. The rupture disk and seal shall be permanently retained on the plug to provide proper alignment and assembly. The burst disk assembly and port shall conform to the physical envelope as described in the illustrations given. The burst disk shall be marked with manufacturer code and rated burst pressure. Prior to installation the mating port and the burst disk assembly shall be inspected to confirm compliance with physical envelope requirements, cleanliness, and general suitability for use.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers burst disk assemblies for paintball marker propellant sources their application and installation requirements.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
