2 Ways to Maintain Piping Systems Designed to Handle Immense Pressure

Best tips to maintain high-pressure pipe systems.

High-pressure pipe systems should be able to handle
the shock waves that come with surge pressure and velocity changes. Here’s how to maintain piping systems so they can handle the load:

#1: Don’t Fall for Shortcuts in Installation

A crew that wants to get the installation done quickly at any cost is not what you want. While all projects have a timeline, make sure you choose one that
pays attention to worker safety and quality craft in addition to deadlines and job requirements.

Choose a company that’s going to select the right product for your project. You want one that will use parts and techniques that ensure strong pipe connections.
You want to see quality parts that won’t fail the minute the installation is complete. Avoiding shortcuts will help maintain your piping system.

#2: Keep Thermal Expansion in Mind

All materials are going to expand or contract in response to heat and cold. Piping material is no exception, regardless if it’s metal or plastic. Maintaining
a high-pressure piping system requires foresight and design with thermal expansion in mind.

Linear expansion is the critical component with pipes. If it’s not accounted for during the design and engineering of the system, it can lead to costly
issues down the road. The expansion or contraction of the materials can put stress on the pipes, valves, and brackets. Make sure the company you work
with to install your piping system compensates for thermal expansion to reduce issues and maintenance long-term.

You rely on your piping system, so choose a company you can depend on to provide the best installation and maintenance. Contact our team of experts at
