Investigation of flow regimes of air jet from drilling tool using thermomechanical method of development of pits in gas pipelines
Ensuring reliable and safe operation of gas pipelines is a priority. The results of studies of air flow from a drilling tool during interaction with the soil using the thermomechanical method of drilling pits in gas pipelines are considered. Practical recommendations for improvement of the technology of impact on the soil of the thermomechanical boring tool with use of the gas-turbine unit as a source of thermal and electric power for diagnosing the technical condition and repair of gas pipelines under various natural and climatic conditions are made.
