What is cavitation, can it be possible in vertical pipes at home?

Question

Accepted Answer

Cavitation is the formation of vapor bubbles in a liquid due to low pressure. It can occur in vertical pipes at home.

Cavitation is caused by low pressure in a liquid, which leads to the formation of vapor bubbles that collapse and cause damage to the pipe.
Vertical pipes at home can experience cavitation if there is a sudden change in pressure, such as when a valve is closed quickly.
Cavitation can cause erosion, noise, and vibration in pipes, which can lead to leaks and other damage.
To prevent cavitation, it is important to maintain a consistent pressure in the pipes and avoid sudden changes in flow or direction.
