depressurisation
Depressurisation refers to the process of reducing the pressure within a contained volume. This can occur intentionally for various purposes or unintentionally as a result of a breach or failure. In industrial settings, depressurisation is often a controlled procedure used to safely handle equipment or systems that contain pressurized substances, such as gases or liquids. This allows for maintenance, repair, or replacement of components without the risk of sudden, uncontrolled release of pressure.
Unintentional depressurisation, commonly known as a decompression event, can have significant consequences depending on the context.
The rate and extent of depressurisation are critical factors in determining the potential hazards. Gradual depressurisation
