Pipe Surge and Water Hammer Apparatus .
Pipe Surge and Water Hammer Apparatus
A freestanding unit developed to demonstrate the phenomena of pipe surge & water hammer when connected to a Hydraulics Bench
- Includes two separate stainless steel test pipes, both 3m long, constant head tank, slow acting valve, fast acting valve etc
- A transparent surge shaft (40 mm diameter and 800mm high) with scale allows transient water levels to be observed and timed
- Electronic
sensors used to measure pressure transients at two locations in the
water hammer test pipe, one adjacent to fast acting valve and one half
way along the test pipe.
- Pressure
transients monitored using a PC (not supplied) using a USB connection
from the pressure transducers (requires no external electrical supply)
- Straight metal pipes used, rather than a coiled arrangement, to minimize distortion to the pressure profile
