Control Pipeline Pressure Surges

Engineers tackle the challenges of pipeline pressure surges through innovative design and strategic tools. By utilizing larger diameter pipes, they slow fluid flow, which helps mitigate pressure buildup. Surge tanks are incorporated as buffers to absorb excess pressure, while pressure relief valves act as crucial safety mechanisms, diverting fluid when pressure exceeds safe limits. These methods collectively enhance the reliability and safety of pipeline systems, ensuring smooth operation and protection against potential damage from surges.
