Which risk increases when a closed vessel containing water exceeds its rated fill level during steam sterilization?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the rated fill can eliminate the air gap needed for water expansion during phase transition; because hydraulic lock prevents pressure relief through compression, therefore overpressure failure risk rises rather than altered heat transfer mechanics.
