Which safety outcome occurs when pressure-relief valve discharge line experiences excessive backpressure?

💡 Explanation

When excessive backpressure exists, the actual set pressure required to open the valve increases, because the valve has to overcome a higher force. Therefore, valve fails to fully open, not exceeding design limit; damage isn't acceleration alone as set pressure is never achieved, and chatter applies to unstable conditions.
