This invention is concerned with an improved safety rupture disk assembly. This rupture disk assembly, which is designed for a fluid containment vessel, comprises two main parts: a removable rupture disk, and a cover plate. The rupture disk, of course, is designed to rupture, or fail, at a predetermined pressure, and to be easily removed and replaced by another rupture disk in the event of a failure. The cover plate is designed so as to "float" over the rupture disk and automatically seal the opening of the vessel after the pressure within the vessel has been release by disk failure. Additionally, nuts, washers and sealing wires are provided for positively securing the cover plate over the opening resulting from disk failure and for preventing inadvertent securing of the cover plate.
