👉 A "broken fluid" refers to a condition where a normally contained, stable fluid within a system, such as a pipe or container, suddenly leaks out due to a breach in the containment structure. This can occur from corrosion, mechanical damage, or other forms of structural failure. The sudden release of fluid can lead to various issues, including environmental contamination, equipment damage, and safety hazards. In industrial settings, understanding and preventing broken fluid incidents is crucial for maintaining operational integrity and safety.
