Abstract
A pressure relieving venting system for a liquid helium superconducting magnet to vent cryogen gas upon a magnet quench including a burst disk closing the venting system during normal superconducting operation and sandwiched between a peripheral gasket assembly maintained under constant pressure by a plurality of axially extending bolts, spring washers and nut assemblies to preclude helium gas leakage in the absence of the disk bursting under excessive pressure.
