  • Publication number: 20100018597
    Abstract: The present invention is a pressure relief valve structure with pressure relief seam, which is composed of the pipe, and the elastic plug with the edge tightly attached on the pipe wall of the pipe, and the elastic plug is penetrated with slim seam. When the fluid is flowing to the elastic plug through the pipe, and the impact pressure from the fluid is larger than the slim seam of the elastic plug could resist, the intersection along the slim seam would be deformed as a hole to make the fluid flowing through the elastic plug and achieve the purpose of pressure relief.
