Disc compensators are provided in large diameter fuel gas carrying pipelines to_________________?
Correct answer: B. Account for contraction/expansion of pipe due to temperature changes of the surroundings
- A. Keep the pipe in proper orientation
- B. Account for contraction/expansion of pipe due to temperature changes of the surroundings
- C. Make the pipe joint leak-proof
- D. Account for the pressure variation side the pipeline
Explanation
Disc compensators absorb thermal expansion and contraction in long, large-diameter pipelines. They are not primarily used for leak prevention, orientation, or pressure fluctuations.
