If your component begins to leak after one or two years of normal operation, it could be due to a punctured membrane. Under normal conditions, fluid should not pass through the membrane. Here are several possible reasons for membrane failure:

• End of Mechanical Lifespan: The membrane may have worn out after reaching its mechanical limit of 1,000,000 cycles.
• Excessive High Pressure: Operating under excessively high pressure can damage the membrane.
• Aggressive or Corrosive Fluids: Accelerated wear can occur if the fluid is aggressive or corrosive.
• Metal Particles: Metal particles in the fluid can cause physical damage to the membrane.
