Pipeline pressure surges those sudden spikes can wreak havoc. But fear not engineers have
tools to control this beast.One approach is designing the system itself. Using larger diameter
pipes allows fluid to flow at a slower pace reducing pressure buildup. Additionally
strategically placed surge tanks act as buffers absorbing excess pressure during surges.For
existing pipelines pressure relief valves become the heroes. These fast-acting valves open
when pressure exceeds a set limit diverting excess fluid and preventing pipe damage. They then
reseal when pressure normalizes.By implementing these strategies engineers can ensure
pipelines operate smoothly safeguarding them from damaging pressure surges
