Abstract
A knuckle and support structure for a reverse buckling rupture disc is described.
Claims16
A rupture disc assembly comprising:
- an inlet body;
- an outlet body in contact with the inlet body and forming a throughbore with an inner diameter, the outlet body comprising a first plane in contact with the inlet body and a second plane opposite the first plane;
- a rupture disc residing within and sealing the throughbore;
- and
- a knuckle on the outlet body residing within the throughbore, protruding past the first plane toward the rupture disc, and configured to catch the rupture disc upon activation, the knuckle comprising:
- a crown with a crown radius facing the throughbore;
- and
- a curved wing on each side of the crown;
- wherein a backside of the knuckle reduces from the inner diameter at a draft angle.
