Which of the following is true about eductors?
Direct Answer
Option C: They sometimes make high vibrations and even lead to pipeline and gauge damage
Eductors, operating on the Venturi principle, can generate significant vibrations and water hammer effects if not properly operated or maintained. Issues like cavitation or incorrect flow rates can lead to excessive stress on pipelines, fittings, and connected gauges, potentially causing damage and operational hazards.
