Pipe Surge And Water Hammer

Product Description

Description of Pipe Surge and Water Hammer: The equipment comprises two stainless steel pipes, which can be used either for surge tests or for hammer tests. The pipes are supported on frames and use hand screw clamps to connect the surge and hammer components.Experimental Capability of Pipe Surge and Water Hammer: Investigating the effects of pipe hammer caused by a fast closing valve. Measuring the pressure profile of hammer Measurement of the velocity of sound through a fluid in a pipe Recording of hammer pressure profiles using the digital scope supplied Demonstration of pipe surge. Demonstration of water level oscillations in the surge shaft. Demonstration of frictional head loss between reservoir and surge shaft. Specification of Pipe Surge and Water Hammer: Pipe Surge and Water Hammer This a unit designed to work with hydraulics bench to demonstrate the phenomena of pipe surge and water hammer. The apparatus includes two separate test pipes, a surge header tank and surge tube, a hammer inlet and hammer fast acting valve. Two pressure transducers provide electrical signals for connection to a digital oscilloscope (for use with users PC). Test pipes: 22 mm I/D x 3 m long stainless steel Surge shaft: 50 mm I/D x 1000 mm high Pressure transducers: range -1 to 15 bar
