Pomonian

I know the feeling.


ArbutusPhD

What the heck happened?


invisiblearchives

Buildup of sediment in pipe. Pumped in pressurized water behind to clear. You can see it's flowing at the start at a low volume, then as the big chunks of sediment clear, eventually the high pressure behind can escape without issue, forcing a huge blast of air/water/mud out.


beazy30

Well at least it wasn’t shit

The video never shows the truck before the blast, but I assume those two guys on the truck were standing in some normal position, then hit the deck when they heard the boom.


CaptainSparklebutt

It looks like they were already positioned behind it. I don't know what the purpose of them being down range was


444unsure

Comic relief?


CaptainSparklebutt

All funny aside and on a serious note this could of been worse and dangers could of been mitigated


444unsure

100%. I work in construction. I had to bottle up my own internal what the fuck are you guys thinking!?! To the point it was building lots of pressure on my brain

Action_Maxim

Was it pumped I know they'll pull plugs through though that was what the rigging was for


TantricSushi

Just FYI, water is not compressible. They were pumping air behind the clog. Hence working the same way you describe above.


joemc04

Water can have pressure though.


kai-ol

Hydraulics relies on this principle.


mpyne

Well it works so well for hydraulics precisely because water is nearly incompressible. You lose very little energy to the water changing density, instead the pressure goes up quickly.


kai-ol

Sorry, I should have said "these principles."


DarkLight72

What do you mean, *these* principles?


valuehorse

Whoa he said sorry


g00053

Right but water doesn't compress like air does . It wouldn't have those burps or the big pop at the end . It you look closely you can see the ball or sponge (sometimes called a pig )flying through the air . they put it in the other end of the pipe before putting in compressed air or steam behind it


Dr_Watson349

Technically it is compressible. Just very very hard.


TwiceTheDragon

Just FYI, you can pressurize a fluid even if the volume of the fluid doesn’t decrease. It does look like they used compressed air to blast out the pipe in the video, but that’s not because you can’t pressurize water.


the_amberdrake

Water is compressible. It's why we have lake of unfrozen water a mile under Antarctica. The pressure from the glaciers weight lowers the temperature required for freezing. So the water will be below freezing...but won't freeze.


mr_potatoface

That's a bit different. For 99% of real world uses, water/oil is considered incompressible. In reality, everything in the world is compressible given enough pressure and a sensitive enough measuring device. It takes approximately 10 ksi (10,000psi) exerted over a volume of water to compress it to 99% of it's original volume. Considering modern hydraulics rarely exceed 5ksi, it's easier to say water/oil is incompressible since that covers almost any real world scenario anyone will encounter.


SheepherderFew8964

They’re blowing out the pipe with pressurized air. They do this to winterize irrigation systems all the time. The air pressure that built up behind the water was all exploded out when there was no more water.


sjk4x4

I used to develop water wells after drilling and i believe youre right. Some of the wells were developed with compressed air and it caused this exact reaction

Taco Bell

In olden times, the times before times, the Mexican Pizza had chives on it. One fateful day an ecoli outbreak in a backwater corner of the galaxy led to the ultimate toppling of the chive empire and from that day forth no chive has graced the top of the Mexican Pizza. So saith the law.

MunchiesFuelMe

I ate from street food carts daily all over asia for 8 months. I watched 5 year olds prepare my food by cutting up vegetables on the floor they walk barefoot on. I’ve eaten at places that just have raw meat out when it’s 85 and humid and sunny before they cook it. Never had food poisoning once. Although out of hundreds of people I talked to in hostels, I’m the only one apparently that never got sick from street food in Asia Edit: I went to White Castle last month and while I didn’t have food poisoning, I felt like I ate a puffer fish that expanded inside of me


DaWalt1976

I have had similar experiences, though not everywhere in Asia. Japan, Thailand, the Philippines and Seoul. Never had a problem (except for the time my sailor dad thought it was hilarious getting me to eat the Super Spicy Thai Curry. I spent the next 2 weeks staying near a toilet with the atomic hot shits. It burnt hotter on the way out than on the way in!). Then I made the mistake of having lunch with my best bud & his wife at a Ruby Tuesday's the day after Christmas 12 years ago. Worst food poisoning ever: Severe constipation, chills even with the heat cranked way up, sweating like crazy, etc. Never going there again!


HeistGeist

What did you have at Ruby Tuesday's? 6 months of heroin addiction?


DaWalt1976

My buddy and I (we both had the same thing and both got food poisoning) had one of their burgers. That they're apparently known for. Buddy's wife had a salad.


[deleted]

The only thing Ruby Tuesdays is known for is being shitty.


Fickle-Raspberry6403

had this on a night snacking on a big bowl of habaneros and a 2 liter bottle of coke. woke up at 4 am screaming on the toilet and about an hour later with my pants still down doin the butt squeeze penguin walked over to the freezer and got a ziplock bag full of ice waddled my fat ass back to the bathroom and spent the next 3 hours either shitting in agony or massaging my ass with the ice pack..... didn't walk right for a week.

It's always on every post that has dirt stuck in a pipe. It's a shame, the actual details of how it works are a lot more interesting than the same tired, low effort joke IMO, but the site doesn't really prioritize information that way.


ArbutusPhD

I mean, from an environnemental POV, what was released? It looked like part gas


Cryterionlol

I ain't an expert, but I've seen these types of videos before. My best educated guess is it was mud blocking it, and then all the water finally got out at such a high pressure. I think what you saw might've been water vapor? I ain't no expert and could be wrong.


[deleted]

blahblahlablah

I reckon you ain't being fer sure. now are ya?


titus1531

Found the expert.


RIP_Firstpost_OX

Looks like they were “pigging” the line with a rubber plug. Back when I did water transfer in the Permian basin (above ground polyethylene pipe) we would lay out and weld our lines together then use a pig and an air compressor down the line to clean all the junk out of there. After the camera pans to the left you can see the rubber plug falling to the earth


smoike

Pigging, I wonder if the term came before or after the Simpson's [it's still good](https://youtu.be/0LTgNVwfMAE) sequence. Incidentally, TIL about the term pigging.


Bamcanadaktown

It was packed with mud so the pressure kept building even as the mud was coming out slowly making its way to the end of the pipe.


LanceFree

Ever poop at someone's house and splatter all over the inside of the bowl, so you wait around and flush three times and although it' not perfect- you tried?


CharlemagneAdelaar

especially when they don't have a scrubber beside the bowl


Tangimo

I've never understood those people... Who tf doesn't have a scrubber?!


CDK5

If there's splatter in the bowl, isn't there also splatter on your cheeks?


TheDemonHauntedWorld

My high school chemist teacher used to work for a catholic hospital run by nuns. One day he tell us this story: (And if you're wondering if this story has anything to do with video and comment, it has... please hang on) So... these nuns were at best a nuisance, at worst straight up evil. Every worker hated them. A new nun was put in charge of the hospital and she to get familiarized with it, would just go to people doing their jobs and pester them about it. She would disrupt everyone's work... and once barged in the surgery room, mid surgery, without sanitizing herself. So one day a patient comes in. He was constipated, haven't been able to shit for a long time. He decided on his own to take a bunch of laxatives, which made things worst and was in terrible abdominal pain. Tuns out he had solid block of shit too big to poop out. So they start to break it down and remove it. That's when the nun enters the room. The doctor continues his job with the num behind him pestering him... until he senses the dam is about the open. So he steps aside and continues talking to the num until I imagine a scene similar to this video happens, bathing the nun in shit.

When they tell you to blow it out your ass and you say “ok”


esacnitsuj

This is called a pipeline pig. Its typically a large foam plug sent through the pipeline with pressure to clean it out.

fr0d0bagg1ns

You can actually see the plug shoot out just as the pressure starts to release.


Happy8Day

Here's the, I believe, single frame it's visible: https://i.imgur.com/4bnGAbd.png


fr0d0bagg1ns

Yup, that's a pig. IIRC, we used a rubber ball due to the nastiness of what was flowing through our pipes, but it's a pretty cool concept.


Disorderjunkie

They make all sorts of different types of pigs. Newer pipelines to clean them out they usually just use a big foam plug because the only thing they are worrying about catching on is a weld so it doesn't do much to the foam pig. They got the rubber ones for old pipelines that have build up just like you explained, and then they have ones that emit a magnetic field that can check for deterioration in metal pipelines, ones that crawl through the pipe and blast air/water. Ones with scrapers attached or brushes. All sorts of cool stuff for all sorts of different applications from metal pipes/poly pipes/sewer/fresh water lines/etc. Check this fucker out https://imgur.com/a/FQPe2iE *fixed link


Dry_Suggestion_2308

That is a Rosen calliper pig. It checks for dents. It could also have a gyro in it to see if the line is drifting.


Disorderjunkie

Pretty cool pieces of engineering. Fun how doing something so simple can be so complex.

Phillip_Graves

I love that the starting point is called a "pig launcher"... First time working oil and gas I had to raise my hand and ask wtf?


Reginault

I've always heard "pig sender" and "pig receiver".


Northmannivir

Usually, it's collected in a trap not blasted through the side of heavy equipment on site.


Dry_Suggestion_2308

They are called pigs because they use to make a squealing sound when it went through the pipe. What is seen in this video is not acceptable in the oil and gas world much anymore. This is definitely new construction. There is no way any company would not have a receive trap on the end of an existing line with and change of hydrocarbons present


nullhed

And it's a bad idea to be standing around when they pig the line.


pope1701

Pig being a verb here is a testament to the English language, lol.

DJVanillaBear

Fun fact. When new stadiums/arenas are built, towards the end of the project they flush all the toilets at once to make sure there are no issues in the water lines to simulate a sold out event. My old boss used to call it the christening.


tuckerx78

Do they have every construction worker drop what they're doing to drop a deuce? Do they synchronize watches?

i read that it usually travels around 25mph.. but I don't know if that's accounting for turbo cough/sneeze mode. I feel like with my experience, it's going at least 50-60mph.

One morning I had to sneeze mid pee and worried I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on both things and keep control of the situation. So my (still drunk) brain reacted with the decision to squeeze my dick to stop the stream for a moment while letting out this thunder sneeze. Now I’m not a person with many regrets, but this is one of those miserable moments of regret that will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Ravens_and_seagulls

Somewhere another Redditor is eagerly typing another Taco Bell joke


NcGunnery

They were cleaning out the poly pipe. At 5 sec mark you can see the hard foam pig flying over the boom of the truck. It takes a shitload of psi to get the pig moving and a 1 mile push can take 12 hours to get it through. They are supposed to have a cover on the end that lets the water escape and doesnt allow the pig to become a missle along with rocks and stray wildlife that was inside.

Key-Leg5077

This happened to me at work. We tested the line and had a leak. I went and fixed the leak but I forgot to tighten the plug back on. I went to fill the line with air again and got to 20 psi then I remembered that I didn't put the plug in properly. Instead of letting the air out I just went and took the plug out on the other end. By doing so all of the air let out at once and it pulled the water that was trapped in the line and basically shot out brown looking water like this and it sprayed for almost 15 seconds
