Integrated rupture disk assemblies for cryogenic equipment and storage systems

Cryogenics areused to provide convenient storage of large quantities of industrial gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide (CO2), argon, helium and hydrogen (H2), that are vaporized from liquid to gas when used in support of many industrial processes ranging from steelmaking to medical systems and welding. Additionally, cryogenic equipment provides the consistently cold temperatures required to preserve biological samples, support superconducting magnets—such as those used in medical imaging systems and particle physics experiments—and support novel surgical procedures and materials research.  Within these systems, liquefied gaseslikehelium, H2, nitrogen, CO2 and oxygen are ke
