Ngokuthuthuka kwesayensi nobuchwepheshe, kusetshenziswe imikhiqizo eminingi yensimbi engagqwali empilweni yethu nasembonini.Ngokuvamile, imikhiqizo yensimbi engagqwali inokumelana nokugqwala okuhle namandla aphezulu.Ngakho-ke, bathathe indawo yemikhiqizo eminingi eyenziwe ngamapulasitiki noma ezinye izinto.

Ipayipi lensimbi engagqwali ingenye yemikhiqizo yensimbi engagqwali esetshenziswa kakhulu.Kunezinhlobo eziningi zamapayipi ensimbi engagqwali.Ngokwesibonelo, kuvamile ukubona insimbi engagqwali eshiselwe ipayipi, insimbi engagqwali ipayipi nekhono, ipayipi capillary engagqwali, insimbi engagqwali ipayipi uhlelo LNG nokunye.Amapayipi ensimbi engagqwali ahlukene anezinhlelo zokusebenza ezahlukene.Phakathi kwazo zonke izinhlobo zamapayipi ensimbi engagqwali, insimbi engagqwali eshiselwe ipayipi idlala indima ebalulekile embonini yethu.Nalu ulwazi oluyisisekelo mayelana nepayipi lensimbi elishiselwe.

Izindlela zokwenza ipayipi elishiselwe insimbi engagqwali ziye zathuthuka ngokuphawulekayo esikhathini esiyiminyaka engu-200 noma ngaphezulu.Umlando wamapayipi ensimbi ashiselwe ungalandelelwa emuva ekuqaleni kwawo-1900 eLondon.Ngaleso sikhathi uhulumeni waseLondon wanquma ukuhlomisa lonke idolobha ngesimiso sezibani ezivuthayo ngamalahle.

Ngemva kokufunda umlando wepayipi elishiselwe insimbi engagqwali, uyazi yini ukukhiqiza amapayipi ensimbi ashiselwe?Ukwenziwa kwamashubhu kuqala endaweni yensimbi lapho ama-slabs noma amabhilidi kufakwa khona.Ukukhiqizwa kwamashubhu angenamthungo kuqala kumabhilidi.Amapayipi amakhulu futhi anezindonga ezisindayo enziwe ngepuleti eligoqiwe elishisayo, kuyilapho amashubhu ashiselwe ngemicu akhiqizwa kakhulu ngokusika okugoqiwe okubandayo noma okugoqiwe okushisayo kwangaphambili.Ubukhulu bodonga, ububanzi, ukusetshenziswa kokugcina nezinye izici zithinta amasu okukhiqiza amapayipi ensimbi engagqwali.

Amapayipi ensimbi ashiselwe angasetshenziswa ekucubunguleni ukudla, ekukhiqizweni kwemithi, ukuhambisa nokucubungula uketshezi, amagesi nama-semi-solids kusixazululo.Ngokuqinisekile, ukusetshenziswa kwamapayipi ensimbi engagqwali akunqunyelwe kulezi zindawo.Ngokuthuthuka kobuchwepheshe, amapayipi ashiselwe insimbi engagqwali angasetshenziswa emikhakheni eminingi.
