Abstract
An ordnance venting system has an ordnance device having a casing with a vent opening, a dome plug fitted into the formed vent opening and an adapter fitted over the dome plug on the outside of the casing. The adapter connects sufficiently to the casing to retain the dome plug against the formed vent opening for given pressures. The adapter melts at high temperatures and releases the dome plug to reduce the danger of explosion from heat induced over-pressurization.
