{{Unreferenced|date=December 2009}} A '''steam rupture''' occurs within a pressurized system of super critical water when the pressure exceeds the design plus [[factor of safety|safety margin]] specification. A steam rupture can occur in any high temperature pressurized system, including, but not limited to: automobile [[Internal combustion engine cooling|cooling systems]], stationary power plants, mobile power plants, steam driven tools (such as some [[trip hammer]]s), and even the delivery systems for application processes such as cleaning and fabric fullering. ==References== {{Reflist}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Steam Rupture}} [[Category:Mechanical engineering]] [[Category:Engineering failures]] {{Tech-stub}}
