Tail -f piped with sed don't work

I wanted to the output of a log file and clean up a bit in order to
apply another script to the output.

I have a statement with tail -50 which works, but tail -f doesn't.

It also works if I drop the sed filtering at the end.

Have an idea

tail -50 /var/opt/OV/share/log/trapd.log | grep "Error."| sed
's/^.*STI_//p'| sed 's/_.*$//g'
Works

tail -50 /var/opt/OV/share/log/trapd.log | grep "Error."| sed
's/^.*STI_//p'| sed 's/_.*$//g'
No output

Reagrds,

Ragnar Moller
