RE: Why do industrial valves fail under high-pressure conditions?
High pressure failures usually come from a combo of things — pressure spikes (not just steady pressure), fatigue from rapid cycling, improper material for the fluid/temp, or small install issues like misalignment and vibration. Even valves rated for high pressure can die fast if they’re seeing surges or cavitation. I’d start by checking for pressure transients and whether the valve material actually matches the process conditions, not just the PSI rating.
