Rupture disks and pressure safety valves (psvs) are both types of relief valves. Rupture disks are thin sheets of metal that break at a designated pressure and can only be used one time. Pressure safety valves also relive at a specified pressure, but work by a spring and can relieve multiple times with little or no damage to the relief device.
