[EN] The occurrence of sub-atmospheric pressure in the drainage of pipelines containing an air pocket has been known as a major cause of several
serious problems. Accordingly, some system malfunction and pipe buckling ...

[EN] The filling process in water pipelines produces pressure surges caused by the compression
of air pockets. In this sense, air valves should be appropriately designed to expel sufficient air to
avoid pipeline failure. ...

The emptying procedure is a common operation that engineers have to face in pipelines.
This generates subatmospheric pressure caused by the expansion of air pockets, which can produce
the collapse of the system depending ...

[EN] Water filling processes in pipes generate overpressures that must be considered so that the facilities do not fail during their operation. The filling manoeuvres with air trapped in water pipes have been studied by ...
