About this document

Contaminant Ingress in Leaking Pipes by Mosameem AR is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes an experimental study that tested whether contaminants from outside a leaking pipe could enter the pipe during a pressure transient event. Researchers subjected an engineered leak surrounded by porous media to a pressure drop caused by rapidly closing an upstream valve. They found that a pollutant placed externally was drawn into the leak and transported within the pipe. This provided direct evidence that negative pressures from transients can cause contaminant ingress through leaks
