The innovative SMASH DISC, designed by a Norfolk, Va., gauge technician, aims to revolutionize industrial safety by providing a smart pressure relief valve monitoring system for a wide range of process operations. The SMASH DISC’s inventor stated, “I’m a gauge technician and I wanted to create a better way to detect high or low pressure events in a timely manner to help prevent accidents and the unnecessary release of toxic liquids or gases.” This motivation is rooted in a desire to minimize risks and ensure the safe operation of pressurized systems. The SMASH DISC’s design allows it to be easily installed on existing pressure relief valves, thermal relief valves, and rupture discs, making it an ideal solution for utility companies, water and gas service companies, commercial and military vessel operations, and other industries that rely on these systems.
- These systems are critical to various industries, including:
- Utility companies
- Water and gas service companies
- Commercial and military vessel operations
The SMASH DISC features an effective design that provides detailed information on the 24/7 operation of a pressurized system, including high or low pressure events. This real-time data can help operators identify potential issues before they become critical, reducing the risk of accidents and minimizing the release of hazardous materials. The invention is the result of the inventor’s experience as a gauge technician, who recognized the need for a more efficient and effective way to monitor pressure relief valves. By creating the SMASH DISC, the inventor aimed to provide a valuable tool for industries that rely on these systems. The original design was submitted to the Richmond sales office of InventHelp, a company that specializes in helping inventors bring their ideas to market. The SMASH DISC is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
