DESIGN & ENGINEERING DATA Plastics Technical Manual Entrapped Air Source There are many potential sources for air in pipelines. Air may be introduced at the point where fluid enters the system or during initial filling of the system. Problem Air in a piping system tends to accumulate at high points in the system. As the flowrate increases, the entrapped air is forced along the pipeline by the moving water.
