Equations are developed which predict the maximum hydrostatic pressure that an initially dished, and subsequently annealed, circular safety rupture diaphragm can withstand. Diagrams based on the equations show the range of bursting pressure that can be obtained by suitably treating one particular sized disk of one specific material.
