Pipeline wear and leakage
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts why there are frequent leaks at the tees in chemical medium pipelines
First is the high friction force, and second is the thinning that occurs during the manufacturing of tees and elbows.
There are also the three-way fittings made by ourselves, with issues related to welding and poor material quality.
Apart from the welding issues, I think the friction is high. Why is the friction at the tee joint higher during the flow of chemical media compared to other areas? I hope to receive more guidance on fluid resistance theory
It’s mainly due to high friction; it’s a problem with the forces acting here.
Think about why traffic is heavier at intersections – you need to slow down at right-angle turns, while driving in a straight line is the most smooth; it’s similar logic
It’s necessary to check whether it’s a crack, a hole, or cracking. Does it crack from the inside out, or from the outside in? Only in this way can the true cause of the leak be identified
