The water supply pipe of the circulating water cooling tower has burst! ! !
Thread Content
Recently, three of the water supply pipes in our circulating water cooling tower have burst; these pipes are made of UPVC and have been in use for four years. Is it due to material aging, or is it caused by excessively high return water pressure (around 0.31 Mpa)? Please have an expert analyze it. How should we prevent it next? Thank you!
2. The material also ages, in my personal opinion
Material aging is possible, but 3 years has not yet been enough for it to break； Inappropriate selection of the material pressure rating or substandard pipe quality are the main reasons that lead to rupture ； Another reason for cracking is the inability to eliminate installation stress; check for any scratches or points of abnormal stress, and remove them if they exist.
