An improved scored reverse buckling rupture disk assembly is provided. The assembly includes a reverse buckling rupture disk having one or more scores on a surface thereof forming lines of weakness which define a blow-out portion connected by a hinge area in the rupture disk. An annular rupture disk support member is positioned adjacent the concave side of the rupture disk, and a supporting member for preventing the blow-out portion from fragmenting or tearing away from the rupture disk at the hinge thereof is disposed within the concave recess in the rupture disk.
