overpressurizing
Adding too much
Overpressurizing is subjecting something to excessive pressure, beyond safe or intended limits.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—tanks, pipes, aircraft cabins, or diving equipment: The valve failed, overpressurizing the system.
Overpressurizing can cause ruptures, explosions, or structural failure.
