Get a shim kit and make thick disks. That is what I am calling "plugs".
MSC catalogue ( Manhatten Supply Company). You can also use port plugs
if you put a copper or brass disk under it to conform to the hard metal,
but that will eventually corrode, but will not "burst", it will leak and
you can change it out. I use the 1/16 inch brass shim material.

Burst disk are right up there with oxygen cleaning and bone smuggling in
my opinion - ridiculous. The o-ring goes before you can get anywhere
near explosive pressures, especially in heat.
