Continuous?
Once in a while?
Only in emergencies?
How much space around the pipe?
Above ground or in basement or in an open room or under water or ....?
What fluid, what pressure, what margins or concerns about safety?
Continuously monitored by a person?
Remote site with no people around/
Done by qualified operators under supervision, by plant employees permanently employed, or maintenance personal with no training or by unskilled labor and likely no discipline or care?
So, the fluid in the "pipe" heats up. How are you going to control or limit pressure rise?
Vapor production in the pipe?
Fluid itself from burning or charring or breaking up (like a food production line of butter or liquid soap or paint or lubricating oil?)
