Dear colleagues

Might be a tough one for a Sunday, but we know you all like a challenge…

Can you help me with regards to the TDS washpipe? We recently had one leak and it was air in the string that leaked at 1500 psi.

Are these packings designed for fluids only or are they supposed to hold vapour/air as well?
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Colin
