A monitor system for sensing the failure of a rupture disc and activating an alarm in response to such a failure. The system also senses potential failure of a rupture disc. The system includes a failsafe signal carrying loop which is broken when the rupture disc fails, thereby interrupting the sign

A monitor system for sensing the failure of a rupture disc and activating an alarm in response to such a failure. The system also senses potential failure of a rupture disc. The system includes a failsafe signal carrying loop which is broken when the rupture disc fails, thereby interrupting the signal. The system also includes a signal sensor which recognizes a signal interruption or substantial modification in the signal and initiates and cooperates with an alarm device to provide notice to an operator or a safety device that the rupture disc has failed.

In combination: (a) a rupture disc seal having opposed sides for blocking flow of fluid through a passageway until a differential pressure between said sides exceeds a predetermined level whereupon said seal ruptures; and (b) a conduit having a pathway adapted for transmitting a signal from one end

In combination: (a) a rupture disc seal having opposed sides for blocking flow of fluid through a passageway until a differential pressure between said sides exceeds a predetermined level whereupon said seal ruptures; and (b) a conduit having a pathway adapted for transmitting a signal from one end thereof to an opposite end thereof; said conduit being fixedly attached to said seal such that said pathway is broken and incapable of transmitting a signal when said seal ruptures; said conduit also being adapted to communicate with alarm means such that when said pathway is unbroken said signal is transmitted to said alarm means and when said pathway is broken said signal is not transmitted to said alarm means thereby activating said alarm means.
