What is the purpose of a frangible/ruptured disk in a cylinder?
Ruptures at a specific pressure to vent gas in a controlled manner
What happens when the fusible plug on a cylinder melts?
It opens up to allow gas to vent out
Where are spring-loaded relief valves typically found?
On most large cylinders
What could happen if the gas temperature in a cylinder increases significantly?
The high gas pressure could rupture and explode the cylinder
How does a frangible/ruptured disk differ from a fusible plug relief valve?
Frangible/ruptured disk ruptures at a specific pressure, while fusible plug melts at a specific temperature
