ABSTRACT:
A self-positioning rupture disk assembly which includes a rupture disk clamped between supporting members. A gasket member is attached to a peripheral portion of the rupture disk for providing a seal between at least one side of the rupture disk and the adjacent supporting member. A first protuberance is formed on the gasket member which is received by a complimentary recess in the adjacent supporting member whereby when the rupture disk and gasket member are clamped between the supporting members with the protuberance positioned within the recess, the rupture disk is aligned between the supporting members with the inlet and outlet sides thereof positioned adjacent the inlet and outlet supporting members, respectively.
