From the analysis of the stress state of the bent pipe, this is unsafe

For steam system leaks, there is a new treatment method called pressure plugging. This method can be repaired while maintaining pressure while the system is running, without the need to shut down and vent, saving time and costs. The steps for sealing leaks under pressure are as follows:: 1. First determine the location of the leak, which can be confirmed by observation or using special testing instruments. 2. Clean and prepare the leak area, making sure the surface is dry and free of grease. 3. Use pressure sealing agent to repair. Pressure leak plugging agent is a gel-like substance with high viscosity that can quickly fill leaks and solidify. Choose an appropriate leak-stopping agent based on the size of the leak. 4. Apply the leak-stopping agent directly to the leakage point, making sure to cover the leakage point area and quickly seal the leakage. 5. After the leak-stopping agent is cured, the system can resume normal operation. The method of plugging leaks under pressure is simple and convenient. It will not affect the operation of the system when repairing leaks. It is suitable for various types of steam systems. However, it is best to consult a professional before use to ensure proper operation and safety. .

A traditional and effective method of leak repair under pressure. When the leakage point is not large, use a slag hammer to hit both sides of the crack, use the ductility of the metal material to close the crack, repair welding without water or gas leakage, and then perform standardized leak repair when the work is stopped for maintenance.

The pressure is not high and maintaining operation is not a big problem.
