Is corrugated pipe suitable for high and low pressure environments?

Corrugated pipes is a kind of pipe with certain flexibility and elasticity, which is widely used in many industries, such as chemical, petroleum, automobile, aviation and construction. It is designed with full consideration of flexibility, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and other requirements, so its adaptability in high-pressure and low-pressure environments has also attracted widespread attention. As an important connector, corrugated pipes has the function of adjusting structure and absorbing vibration, but whether it is suitable for high-pressure and low-pressure environments depends on many factors, including the material, design structure, working environment and application field of the corrugated pipes.
The design of corrugated pipes usually adopts metal or non-metallic materials with certain elasticity. Among them, stainless steel, copper alloy and other materials commonly used in metal corrugated pipes can better withstand the pressure under high-pressure environment. Since the structural design of corrugated pipes is to disperse the pressure through the formation of corrugations, the pressure distribution of corrugated pipes is relatively uniform under high-pressure environment, which can effectively avoid rupture or deformation caused by concentrated pressure. Especially in the oil and natural gas industries, corrugated pipes are often used to connect high-pressure equipment and pipeline systems to relieve pressure and reduce system vibration. In this high-pressure environment, the corrugated pipes not only need to have strong pressure resistance, but also need to have good sealing performance to avoid fluid leakage or intrusion of external substances.
The performance of corrugated pipes in low-pressure environments is different. Low-pressure environments generally refer to environments with low pressure in the system or close to atmospheric pressure. In this environment, corrugated pipes can still play their role of connection, adjustment and shockproof. Especially in gas pipelines or low-pressure fluid pipeline systems, the flexibility of corrugated pipes enables it to cope with stress changes caused by pressure changes and avoid damage to the pipeline due to pressure fluctuations. The flexibility of corrugated pipes allows it to adapt to expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes or other external factors, and this adaptability is particularly evident in low-pressure environments.
It should be noted that although corrugated pipes are widely used in both high-pressure and low-pressure environments, their pressure bearing capacity and pressure resistance are not fixed. The pressure bearing capacity of corrugated pipes is affected by the choice of material, wall thickness, corrugation shape and overall structure. If the material strength is insufficient or the corrugation design is unreasonable, even in a high-pressure environment, it may not be possible to ensure its long-term safe operation. Therefore, when selecting a corrugated pipes, you must choose the appropriate specifications and materials based on the actual working pressure and working conditions.
