Rupture Disc

Rupture Discs: A pressure relief device that protects a vessel or system from over pressurization. They have a membrane, usually metal foil, which fails at a fixed pressure or vacuum. Rupture discs respond quickly to an increase in system pressure, but once the membrane has failed it will not reseal. Rupture discs are often used as a backup device for a conventional safety valve. If the safety valves fails to operate (or can't relieve pressure quickly enough), the disc ruptures
