Which consequence results when a pressure relief valve fails to actuate in a closed steam sterilization chamber during its heating phase?

💡 Explanation

Explosive rupture occurs because the mechanism of runaway temperature results in excessive pressure beyond the chamber's structural limit due to constant heat input; therefore structural failure results, rather than limited non-explosive outcomes under controlled phase transition.
