Air Binding in Water Pipelines
The presence of stabilized air pockets in pipelines can seriously reduce the water carrying capacity of the line. In fact, this condition, often termed air binding, may entirely prevent flow. This article reviews the mechanism of air binding and discusses a few practical methods of eliminating it. The discussion involves water pipelines of l5‐102 inches in diameter, including cross‐country water supply conduits and the condenser circulating water systems for steam electric power stations. Air binding in very small diameter pipe introduces somewhat different problems which are beyond the scope of this article.
