摘要:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Berstscheibenanordnung mit einem ein- oder mehrteiligen Körper (1), der eine Öffnung aufweist, die einen Auslass für eine Leitung oder einen Behälter bildet, mit einer Berstscheibe (2), welche die Öffnung verschließt und welche bei einer Beaufschlagung mit einem Berstdruck birst, um die Öffnung durchlässig zu machen, wobei die Berstscheibenanordnung einen Aktuator (3) aufweist, mittels dem der Berstdruck herabsetzbar ist.
摘要:
A reverse acting rupture disc is provided having a laser defined electropolished line-of-weakness recess, and an improved method of forming an electropolished line-of-weakness recess in a reverse acting rupture disc that assures full opening of the disc upon reversal. A rupture disc blank is pre-bulged, final bulged, and then provided with a layer of resist material. A laser is used to remove at least a portion of the layer of resist material corresponding to a desired line-of-weakness recess in the concave face of the bulged rupture disc. The disc is then subjected to an electropolishing operation to remove metal from the lased area of the rupture disc, thereby forming a lustrous polished line-of-weakness recess in the disc of desired configuration and of a predetermined depth that is related to material thickness. The electropolished line of weakness is defined by spaced opposed channel portions separated by a central raised crown portion wherein the channel portions are of greater depth than the crown portion. The burst/reversal pressure of the disc having an electropolished line-of-weakness recess may be selectively controlled by varying the pre-bulging pressure on the disc.

The present invention is directed to pressure relief devices and to corresponding pressure relief assemblies that have improved vacuum resistance, improved fragmentation resistance, and/or improved burst control while maintaining low mass. The pressure relief device includes a substantially flat flange section and a domed section. The domed section may include a transitional line that defines a change in the shape of the domed section. The pressure relief device may also include a bracket for securing or aligning a domed section to a flange section. The pressure relief device may further include a stress distribution feature that is disposed transversely to a line of weakness in the domed section. The pressure relief assembly may include a fastener having a wire that is configured to break and release the pressure relief device when subject to a predetermined tensile load.

An activation rupture disc unit is provided that is capable of withstanding a substantially higher back pressure than its burst activation pressure. The unit includes a tubular housing having a fluid passage. Tapered wall structure defines at least a portion of the passage with the fluid outlet thereof being of greater area than the fluid inlet. A rupture disc is carried by the housing and has a central bulged section in fluid-blocking relationship to the passage. A tapered, self-releasing solid plug is positioned in and conforms to the tapered portion of the passage. The plug has a curved surface conforming to and positioned in full supporting relationship to the central section of the rupture disc. The plug is of sufficient mass to prevent rupture of the central section of the disc under a back pressure substantially greater than the activation pressure of the disc.

A safety pressure relief device comprises an annular flange portion (22), a concave/convex dome portion (24) and a transition portion (26) between the flange portion (22) and the dome portion (24), the transition portion (26) comprising a linear extent (28) extending from the annular flange portion (22) at a first acute angle (theta1) to the plane of the flange portion (22), a tangent to the dome portion (24) at its junction with the transition portion (26) making a second acute angle (theta2) with the plane of the flange portion (22) which is greater than said first angle (theta1), a line of weakness being formed in and around part at least of the linear extent (28) of the transition portion (26).
