Further
Pressure buildup refers to rise in pressure in excess of that expected at normal system operating condition. If it continues unchecked, the system design pressure could be reached. And if the design (or maximum allowable working) pressure is exceeded, it can lead to failure(rupture) of equipment, line rupture.
Normally industrial processes are designed to guard against pressure buildup by placing what we call system safeguards (protection) against pressure buildup. These safeguards provide at least 2 layers of protection to the system.
Interpretation of pressure buildup done is by means of installed pressure guages on the equipment, (or on the line).
I hope this is clear enough. Let me know if you need further explanation.
