A pressure relief device (10) comprising a body (12) including an exterior surface (18), a cavity (20), an inlet (22), an outlet (24), and an aperture (26), each of the inlet (22), the outlet (24), and the aperture (26) opening into the cavity (20), a temperature sensitive bonding element (14) and a valve (16), disposed within the cavity (20) and extending through the aperture (26), including a sealing member (28) and a cap (32), the cap being joined to the exterior (18) of the body by the temperature sensitive bonding element (14), and the sealing member (28) being configured to seal the inlet (22) when the cap (32) is joined to the exterior surface (18) of the body. The pressure relief device (10) as claimed in claim 16, wherein the body (12) further includes a retainer (324) configured to prevent the valve (16) from separating from the body (12) when the cap (32) becomes disengaged from the body (12). A pressure relief device (10) comprising a body (12) including an exterior surface (18), a cavity (20), an inlet (22), and an outlet (24), each of the inlet and the outlet opening into the cavity, a temperature sensitive bonding element (14), a valve (16), disposed within the cavity (20), including a valve retainer (324) and a sealing member (28), the valve retainer (324) being coupled to the sealing member (28), the valve retainer (324) being joined to the body (12) by the temperature sensitive bonding element (14), and the sealing member (28) being biassed into a sealing relationship with the inlet (22). |
