Which outcome occurs when a check valve fails closed?

💡 Explanation

When a check valve fails closed, pressure upstream is not relieved by design or components; the valve prevents flow, causing unintended pressure loss because it blocks the flow path. Therefore, there is pressure loss upstream, rather than a benefit or prevention of backflow.
