BurstIng dIsc kuB serves needs of varIous applIcatIons and IndustrIes REMBE has developed a unique two-layered REMBE reverse acting buckling-pin bursting disc: KUB. Other bursting disc manufacturers still use the outdated technology of mechanical scoring of the disc, this can weaken the disc integrity and lead to premature failure of mechanically scored discs, leading to expensive plant downtime. The KUB mechanism is based on the buckling-pin principle discovered by Leonard Euler. The fact that the REMBE response pressures are ac
