It’s comments like this that keep me on Lemmy. It’s deeply appreciated that people with random, specific knowledge surface in the comments to answer questions that are hard to search for answers to.
This but also mitigation for hydraulic transients. Any change in flow will result in wave forming which would propagate and increase in intensity. These “kinks” are there to break it up. This phenomenon is the basis for hydraulic ram pump.
Don’t you just hate it when you’re building a pipeline and your mouse skips a few pixels and you end up with kinks?
The pipes would warp and break without those extra loops. They mitigate contraction and expansion due to temperature changes.

And now we know. Thank you!
That’s why all my pipelines are just pairs of pipe-to-ground every 10 tiles
