Some Parameters Influencing the Release Pressure of Reverse-Buckling Safety Disks
Beese, JG
Senior lecturer, University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology,

Abstract

In recent years safety disks based on the principle of the reverse buckling of a spherical, metallic cap have been developed. In this paper the influence on the disk-buckling pressure of (1) the orifice diameter of the flange-holding ring and (2) heat treatment of the dome before assembly is examined. It is found that both orifice diameter and heat treatment influence the value of the reverse-buckling pressure.

Keywords:
safety, buckling, pressure, diaphragm, spherical cap, hydrostatic pressure, diameter, thickness, dome height, aluminum, heat treatment
