riser; riser pipe Explanation: "Uplift pipe" is 100% unidiomatic (indeed unheard-of), not to mention distracting (since "uplift" is a psychological term). "Riser" is an extremely familiar and frequently encountered term, well known to and regularly used by any fluidics engineer. It refers to a vertical pipe used to transmit fluids, particularly in an upward direction. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2020-11-14 20:07:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (I didn't see the 2nd answer of Fauble.) |
