Questions regarding pipeline layout
Thread Content
Why should pipes carrying toxic or corrosive media be installed on the outside or below when placed alongside other pipes? Why on the outside? Why is it below? Can’t it be above? Please ask an expert to explain this, thank you
No one wants corrosive fluid on their head, so it has to be below. The outer side is there to prevent more severe damage to the pipelines and equipment below in the event of a leak.
It is to reduce corrosion of the pipes below or beside it in case of a leak.
It is mainly to reduce \"secondary harm\".
Based on my experience, there are several reasons for this. One is for ease of management, allowing leaks to be detected promptly during inspections. The second reason is that it facilitates maintenance from the outside, as corrosive pipes tend to break down easily. Thirdly, it helps prevent cross-corrosion and further damage to the pipes.
To reduce the impact on other pipelines
It won’t work above; secondary damage must be prevented
When the corrosive medium leaks, it should not pose a threat to other pipes, facilitating maintenance.
Isn’t there a minimum elevation? If this collides with something, any pipeline will suffer damage
