Pipe Surge and Water Hammer Apparatus

Pipe Surge and Water Hammer Apparatus

•    Water hammer demonstrations are conducted using the second test pipe, which incorporates a fast acting valve at the discharge.
•    Tapping’s incorporating electronic pressure sensors are located in the test pipe adjacent to the fast acting valve and half way along the test pipe.
•    These sensors measure the high-speed pressure transients inside the pipe as the water hammer travels backwards and forwards along the test pipe.
•    The time delay between the sensors can be used to determine the speed of sound through the water that is attenuated by the elasticity of the metal pipe wall.
•    Test pipes: Stainless steel, 20.2 mm inside diameter.
•    Test pipe length: 3 m long
•    Surge shaft clear acrylic, 40 mm inside diameter, 800 mm high.
•    Head tank PVC
•    Capacity: 45 liters
•    Dimensions: 3500-x800 x 1600 mm
•    Weight: 120kg
