What consequence can arise from failing to monitor boiler pressure?

Failing to monitor boiler pressure can lead to potential equipment damage due to overpressure. Boilers are designed to operate within specific pressure limits. When the pressure exceeds these limits, it can cause severe mechanical stress on the boiler components, potentially leading to rupture or failure. This could result in hazardous situations such as explosions, leaks, or other safety incidents. Regularly monitoring pressure helps ensure that the system operates safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of damage and prolonging the life of the equipment.

While the other choices highlight aspects related to operations, they do not accurately reflect the serious risks associated with poor pressure monitoring in high-pressure boiler systems.
