Pipeline freezing and cracking issue
Thread Content
Has anyone encountered the problem of pipes freezing and cracking? In which pipelines and locations does it generally appear? As the weather gets colder, which pipelines and which parts of them should be given special attention? Thank you!
Any area where fluid tends to accumulate is a location prone to frost cracking, such as the drain location, the trap location, the pressure guiding pipe location, valve locations, and end points. . . .
Be extra careful with those below DN50.
The freezing location cannot be determined by the area to be inspected; for any substance whose volume increases as a result of phase changes below zero degrees, it is necessary to find ways to keep the temperature during the processing above zero degrees to ensure safety. This should have included such insulation facilities and production process requirements from the very beginning of the design.
