| Application |
- Compressed Gas Cylinders: Used in gas storage cylinders to prevent over-pressurization by releasing gas safely if pressure exceeds safe limits.
- Aerospace and Aviation: Burst plugs protect critical systems such as fuel tanks and pressurized cabins from dangerous pressure build-up.
- Hydraulic Systems: Installed in hydraulic systems to prevent over-pressure that could damage pumps, valves, or other components.
- Automotive Systems: Used in airbag deployment systems or in vehicle fuel systems to provide controlled pressure release during emergencies.
- Cryogenic Storage: Protects storage tanks containing liquefied gases like oxygen, nitrogen, or helium from over-pressure caused by temperature changes.
- Fire Suppression Systems: Burst plugs are integrated into fire suppression systems to release pressure buildup in storage cylinders or pipelines.
- Nuclear Power Plants: Used to protect nuclear reactors, pressure vessels, and steam systems from excessive pressure.
- Chemical Processing: Protects equipment in chemical plants by releasing pressure in reactors or storage tanks exposed to volatile chemicals.
- Pressure Relief Valves Backup: Burst plugs often serve as secondary or backup safety mechanisms in pressure relief systems.
- Marine Industry: Utilized in ballast tanks or other pressurized compartments of ships and submarines to prevent dangerous over pressurization.
