Cavitation is caused by low pressure. Regions of low pressure in pipes can be caused by sharp curvatures (such as 90 degree bends), sediment or residues, restrictions to flow such as throttling valves, measurement equipment, etc.

What is cooled and compressed for transportation along pipelines?

Natural gas is cooled and compressed for transportation along pipelines. Cooling the gas causes it to liquefy, reducing its volume for efficient transport, and compression helps maintain pressure in the pipeline to keep the gas moving smoothly over long distances.

Do pipelines with many bends lose pressure more quickly than straighter pipelines?

Yes, pipelines with many bends can lose pressure more quickly than straight pipelines due to increased friction and turbulence caused by the change in direction of the flow. This can result in energy losses and decrease the overall efficiency of the pipeline system.
