A closurefor a pressurized container having a plate with a top sideand a bottom sidea first notchthat extends about a first axis Aalong the top side, and a second notchthat extends about the first axis along the bottom side. The first and second notch form a membranethat is capable of being ruptured when a maximum pressure causes the membrane to rupture.

Pressure relief assemblies and methods

The present disclosure generally relates to a venting system that includes a wall of a lid or a container. The lid or container defines a central longitudinal axis, and a line segment that is measured from the longitudinal axis to an outermost surface of the lid or container, and a pressure relief feature that is disposed along the lid or container. The pressure relief feature includes a thinned region of the lid or container that defines a minimum thickness that is less than 40% of a maximum thickness of the respective lid or container.

A diffuser includes a first tube and a second tube. The first tube includes a key and defines a first opening. The second tube is inserted through the first opening. The second tube defines a notch. The key is inserted into the notch.

Filter diffuser

The present disclosure generally relates to a venting system that includes a wall of a lid or a container, the lid or container defining a central longitudinal axis, and a line segment that is measured from the longitudinal axis to an outermost surface of the lid or container, and a pressure relief feature that is disposed along the lid or container. The pressure relief feature includes a thinned region of the lid or container that defines a minimum thickness that is less than 40% of a maximum thickness of the respective lid or container. The pressure relief feature extends at least 180 degrees about the longitudinal axis, and the pressure relief feature is located at a distance from the longitudinal axis of more than 80% of the line segment.
