RE: Fuse type fasteners

Try these two web sites
 
    I would also be interested in other products like these, if anyone knows of any. FM Global has a good data sheet on explosion venting. You can download it for free from their website if you register.

Subject: Fuse type fasteners

Does anyone know of any fasteners calibrated to fail at a certain level? The application in question is a pressure relief wall that should be designed to fail like a fuse when a certain pressure is reached. Thanks for any tips.
