PIPE SURGE AND WATER HAMMER

Illustrates pipe surge and water hammer effects in pipes.

This experiment shows the transient effects of pipe surge and water hammer caused by sudden flow rate changes in pipes. The apparatus has two separate test pipes: one for pipe surge investigations and one for water hammer investigations. A header tank (reservoir of water) supplies both test pipes. Learn about PIPE SURGE AND WATER HAMMER for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes.. This tank includes an internal float valve and an overflow for good engineering practice. A Digital Hydraulic Bench supplies the header tank with a controlled flow of water via an inlet valve. Learn about PIPE SURGE AND WATER HAMMER manufacturers for optimal educational outcomes.. The outlets from the test pipes flow into the measuring tank of the hydraulic bench. The test pipe for surge investigations includes a clear plastic surge tower connected near its downstream end, and a control valve.
