Regarding the issue of drain leakage
Thread Content
This post was last edited by Sammy_Wang on 2015-8-5 11:02. The drain in our factory keeps leaking; wrapping it with PTFE or rope and adding a pipe cap doesn’t help either. It’s not just the drain pipes; the mechanical seals of pumps and the seals of valves can also cause leaks. Anywhere there is a gap, leakage can occur, with pipes carrying such materials being the most prone to severe leaks. I’m seeking advice from experts – are there any good methods? We have two sets of devices here with similar materials; one uses neodecanoate, while the other uses isooctanoate. Leaks can occur in both types of material connections, but the problem is more severe with novacic acid: leaks at the valves, leaks at the drain pipes along with their caps, leaks at the valve screws, and leaks in the pump seals. It’s much better than isooctanoic acid; there was only a leakage at the drain, and the problem was resolved by installing a pipe cap.
It’s not a valve issue; it’s probably related to the properties of the material. Let’s see if anyone has any good solutions
It’s the issue of selecting the sealing material, as it reacts with the materials. It is recommended that you mention the materials and the sealing materials to be used on the 1st floor. You can edit it.
At the request of the person upstairs, we have two sets of formulations here; the ingredients are similar – one is novacaine salt and the other is isooctylate. Leaks can occur in both types of material connections, but the problem is more severe with novacic acid: leaks at the valves, leaks at the drain pipes along with their caps, leaks at the valve screws, and leaks in the pump seals. It’s much better than isooctanoic acid; there was only a leakage at the drain, and the problem was resolved by installing a pipe cap.
Neither of these static nor dynamic sealing estimates is suitable for the properties of your material! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
What other forms of sealing can be used: funk:
“\"Leaks, spills, drips, and leaks\" need to be addressed~~ Also, check whether the material choice was inappropriate~~
They are all made of 304 or 316 material; is it necessary to use PTFE-lined pipes? Still a quartz tube?
Using 316L material for capric acid and decanoic acid should be fine; what are the temperature and pressure of the material? It is recommended to use metal wound gaskets instead of non-metallic gaskets.
Here, the materials used should have been selected through calculations carried out by material engineers in conjunction with process specialists; it’s likely not a serious issue. Is this the same problem throughout the entire facility? ? ? ? If that’s the case, the cost of replacing all the materials now would be too high. The main problem here is poor sealing, as your medium is corrosive; I guess the temperature is also high. You could try replacing the gaskets, as Waaabc suggested – you can give it a try first.
