Le brise-vide de type à pression est conçu pour fonctionner constamment sous pression. [...] Le brise-vide à pression doit être conçu pour qu'un effort suffisant soit exercé à l'ouverture de manière à compenser toute tendance du siège à gripper après une longue période en position de fermeture, dans des conditions de pression positive. Il existe en deux types fondamentaux : a) le type à obturateur (flotteur) conique ou sphérique à action directe - avec ressort pour aider à l'ouverture. b) le type à membrane - la membrane exerce l'effort nécessaire à l'ouverture. 2, record 1, French, - casse%2Dvide%20%C3%A0%20pression
