if high pressure liquid in a pipeline (10") is stepped down by a control valve and the control valve fails open. The potential downstream piping may see the high pressure. Therefore we install a rupture line (4") with a disk. If the disk sees high pressure and breaks then part of the flow is diverted. What confuses me is...when the rupture disk opens and part of the flow is diverted then the velocity in the 10" goes down. Dont we say velocit and pressure and inverse perportion. Then this seems to suggest pressure goes up in 10" line. can anyone help me grasp this?
