Abstract
A rupturable fluid pressure relief apparatus and method of manufacturing such apparatus capable of rupturing in either the normal or reverse rupture modes at predetermined rupture pressures are provided. The apparatus is basically comprised of a circular rupture disk positioned between a pair of annular rupture pressure control members. The rupture pressure control members include centrally positioned circular openings therein of sizes such that the rupture disk ruptures at predetermined rupture pressures or pressure differentials exerted from either side of the rupture disk.
