Burst disk assembly
First Claim
1. A burst disk assembly for use in a pressurized gas system for venting pressurized gas from the system in the event that the gas exceeds a predetermined pressure, comprising:
- a body having a plug region, a transition region adjacent and contiguous with the plug region and a venting region adjacent and contiguous with the intermediate region, the plug region defining an end rim and having an open cross-section, the transition region having an open cross-section that is less than the open cross-section of the plug region, the plug region and the transition region defining a radial wall therebetween having a flat face, the venting region have an open cross-section that is less than the open cross-section of the intermediate region;
a plug having a tapered cylindrical shape having a minimum cross-section that is less than the body plug region open cross-section and a maximum cross-section that is greater than the body plug region open cross-section, the plug having a through bore having a diameter less than the open cross-section of the intermediate region, the plug defining, at an end adjacent the minimum cross-section, a disk face; and
a frangible disk configured for placement in the plug region and being sandwiched between the plug disk face and the body radial wall.

Abstract
A burst disk assembly is configured for use in a pressurized gas system for venting pressurized gas from the system in the event that the gas exceeds a predetermined pressure. The assembly includes a body having a plug region, a transition region adjacent and contiguous with the plug region and a venting region adjacent and contiguous with the intermediate region. The plug region defines an end rim and has an open cross-section. The transition region has an open cross-section that is less than the open cross-section of the plug region. The plug region and the transition region define a radial wall therebetween having a flat face. The venting region has an open cross-section that is less than the open cross-section of the intermediate region. A plug has a tapered cylindrical shape with a minimum cross-section that is less than the body plug region open cross-section and a maximum cross-section that is greater than the body plug region open cross-section. The plug has a through bore having a diameter less than the open cross-section of the intermediate region. The plug defines, at an end adjacent the minimum cross-section, a disk face. A frangible disk is positioned in the plug region and is sandwiched between the plug disk face and the body radial wall.
