Patent number: 10436339Abstract: A rupture disk (20), along with associated methods, is disclosed. More particularly, a miniaturized rupture disk is disclosed, comprising a transition area (23) configured to determine a pressure at which the rupture able portion will rupture. A method for forming a rupture disk is also disclosed, wherein a radius (R) of a transition area is configured to set the burst pressure of the rupture disk. A rupture disk having an indent at its apex (24) and a circular line of weakness configured to improve opening performance is also disclosed. Additionally, a method of relieving pressure in a pressurized system is disclosed, wherein a set of rupture disks is provided, wherein each rupture disk in the set has a different radius of transition area. A rupture disk may be selected from the set and installed based on a burst pressure set by the radius of transition area.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2010Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: BS&B Safety Systems LimitedInventors: John Tomasko, Paul Goggin, Geof Brazier

Patent number: 10228068Abstract: A rupture disk (200) having a line of weakness (235) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a frustum-shaped rupture disk has a shear-scored line of weakness located in one or more of a central truncated portion (220), an angled frustum portion (230), a flange portion (210), and in the areas of transition between a flange portion and an angled frustum portion, and between an angled frustum portion and a central truncated portion. In another embodiment, a frustum-shaped rupture disk has an angled frustum portion, with a line of weakness in the angled frustum portion. A stiffening member may be provided to stiffen a central truncated portion of a frustum-shaped rupture disk.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: BS&B Innovations LimitedInventors: Paul Goggin, Geoffrey Brazier

Patent number: 9453582Abstract: A hinge assembly for a rupture disk is disclosed. More particularly, a hinge assembly is disclosed having a first hinge member with a flange body and a collapsible hinge, and a second hinge member with a platform hinge, wherein the collapsible hinge is configured to be positioned between the platform hinge and a rupture disk. A rupture disk hinge is also disclosed, having a flange body and a collapsible hinge extending from the flange body. The collapsible hinge may have an approach extending from the flange body, a platform extending from the approach, and a lip extending from the platform. A rupture disk hinge also is disclosed having a hinge extension that extends along a diameter of a flange body across a central fluid flow path.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: BS&B Safety Systems LimitedInventor: Paul Goggin
