Control Pipeline Pressure Surges (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783384235909)

Pipeline pressure surges, those sudden spikes, can wreak havoc. But fear not, engineers have tools to control this beast. One approach is designing the system itself. Using larger diameter pipes allows fluid to flow at a slower pace, reducing pressure buildup. Additionally, strategically placed surge tanks act as buffers, absorbing excess pressure during surges. For existing pipelines, pressure relief valves become the heroes. These fast-acting valves open when pressure exceeds a set limit, diverting excess fluid and preventing pipe damage. They then reseal when pressure normalizes. By implementing these strategies, engineers can ensure pipelines operate smoothly, safeguarding them from damaging pressure surges
