A pressure relief apparatus, a battery cell, a battery, and an electrical device are provided in embodiments of the present application. The pressure relief apparatus includes a pressure relief body and a score groove. The pressure relief body includes a pressure relief portion configured to be opened to relieve a pressure inside the battery cell when an internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell reaches a threshold. The score groove is arranged on the pressure relief body and includes a first arc-shaped groove and a second arc-shaped groove. The arc-shaped design of the first arc-shaped groove and the second arc-shaped groove makes it less likely that the pressure relief portion cannot be opened in a large area, thereby improving the safety of the battery cell.

A bulged, forward-acting rupture disc (10) and a pressure relief device (38) incorporating a rupture disc (10), having a line of opening (28) formed in the transition region (26) of the disc between the bulged section (12) and flange section (14) are provided. The line of opening (28) is a stress-concentrating feature that, in conjunction with a stress-intensifying edge (68) located on an associated outlet ring (42), facilitates opening of the disc (10) when exposed to a predetermined pressure acting upon the concave face (20) of the bulged section (12).

A vacuum resistant pressure relief device is (100) disclosed. In one embodiment, a pressure relief device may be an explosion vent. The explosion vent may be provided with one or more ribbed features, which may be radial ribbed features (101).

A rupture disk system has a housing defining a central axis, a first axial end defining an axial opening and a second axial end. An airflow pathway extends from the first axial end facing towards the second axial end. A sealing surface is defined about the airflow pathway towards the first axial end. A shield extends across the airflow pathway on the second axial end. Radial openings are defined around the central axis, where the radial openings are positioned between the first and the second axial ends, such that the airflow pathway extends from the axial opening to the radial openings. A rupture disk is coupled to the housing across the airflow pathway. The rupture disk has a polymeric layer. The rupture disk has an unweakened region having a first thickness and a weakened region having a second thickness. A threshold rupture pressure is defined by the weakened region.

Embodiments of the invention provide a ram assembly for a hydraulic tool. The ram assembly includes a ram piston having a ram cavity. The ram piston receives a hydraulic pressure reaction force. The ram assembly further includes an overload assembly disposed in the ram cavity or in a cavity defined by a manifold. The overload assembly includes a burst disc positioned at a first end of the ram cavity or manifold, a lock nut positioned at a second end of the ram cavity or manifold, and a spacer positioned between the burst disc and the lock nut. The spacer transfers a supporting force applied to the lock nut to the burst disc. The hydraulic pressure reaction force and the supporting force both act in the same direction, and thus, are additive forces acting on the burst disk.

A pump features a casing assembly having a region through which high velocity fluid and solids circulate, a chamber where they do not, an aperture that allows a related-chamber to be in fluidic communication with the region, but not the circulating high velocity fluid and solids, and a corresponding aperture to allow the related-chamber to communicate with an external region outside the casing assembly; and a rupture disc received in the corresponding aperture to close the related-chamber subjects the related-chamber and the rupture disc to pressure contained within the region and to release pressure exceeding a predetermined relief pressure of the rupture disc from the related-chamber to the external region or location, and exhaust piping couple the rupture disc to provide a path for escaping vapor and solids to be directed to the external region or location where the energy can be dissipated.

A method, system, and apparatus are provided for a safety relief bypass system for an oil pumping pipeline that provides pressure relief to the pipeline in order to prevent and reduce pipeline rupture. More specifically, the bypass system can include one or more rupture discs having a specific burst pressure that allows fluids under pressure to bypass through alternative pipeline thereby preventing damage to other piping components.

A chemical injection valve can include a valve stem, flow between sections of a flow passage being prevented and permitted in respective closed and open positions of the valve stem, a resilient primary seal that prevents flow through an annular gap surrounding the valve stem in the closed position, and a bypass passage in communication with the annular gap and a flow passage section, and in communication with another flow passage section in the open position. A chemical injection system can include a chemical treatment pumped through a chemical injection valve and into an interior of a tubular string, and the chemical injection valve including a valve stem and a bypass passage extending between a flow passage section and an annulus surrounding the valve stem, the annulus being positioned longitudinally between a resilient primary seal and a metal secondary seal.

A burst disc system can include a plurality of burst discs serially arranged to successively rupture one at a time. Each burst disc can be configured to rupture at one or more set burst pressures. The system can include an indicator configured to allow a user to receive an indication that a last burst disc of the plurality of burst discs has ruptured.

A method for transporting a viscous fluid through a heat exchanger line that includes transporting a viscous fluid through a connecting piece with an excess pressure release component, where the excess pressure relief component separates an interior of the connecting piece from a discharge line in the connecting piece, and is fixed to an edge of the discharge line, mixing a fluid flow in a region of the excess pressure relief component using a mixing element disposed in the interior of the connecting piece and causing the excess pressure release component to release at least a portion of the fluid through the discharge line when the pressure of the fluid is equal to or greater than a preset excess pressure.
