Optimizing Pressure to Reduce Loss, Reduce Breaks and Get More Years Out of Your Pipes

摘要

If the current failure rate is comparatively high (red circle), then quite asmall % reduction in pressure (to the blue circle) may produce a largereduction in burst frequency. But if the burst frequency is already quitelow (blue circle), further pressure reductions may not greatly reducethe current burst frequency, but may extend infrastructure life2015 © American Water Works Association AWWA ACE15 Conference Proceedings All Rights Reserved
