Abstract
A rectangular rupture disk comprising sheet metal includes an edge region with which the rupture disk is fastenable to an opening of a container or of a conduit. In the edge region, the rupture disk has a fold-over including a first folded over part of the sheet metal and a second part of the sheet metal to which the first folded over part is parallel or predominantly parallel. The rupture disk further includes a central region with which the opening is sealable until the container or conduit reaches a bursting pressure, and predetermined breaking lines along which the rupture disk ruptures to at least partially open the central region in response to the container or conduit reaching the bursting pressure.
