Pipe Surge & Water Hammer Apparatus Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Pipe Surge & Water Hammer Apparatus.
1] Self‐contained unit designed to demonstrate the phenomena of pipe surge and water hammer. [2] Unit includes two separate test pipes, service module and constant head tank. [3] Two pressure transducers provide electrical signals for connection to a dual trace storage oscilloscope with an integral printer output. [4] Surge shaft: 44mm I/D x 800mm high. Water hammer test pipe: 22mm I/D x 3m long ST/ST. Pressure transducers: range ‐1 to 69 bar (13.5 bar max operating) [5] Demonstration capabilities: ‐ Demonstration of pipe surge. ‐ Determination of oscillatory characteristics of the surge shaft. ‐ Demonstration of frictional head loss between reservoir and surge shaft ‐ Comparison between theoretical and measured pressure profiles produced by water hammer. ‐ Using a dual trace storage oscilloscope to record transient water hammer pressure profiles. ‐ Measuring the pressure profile characteristics. ‐ Determination of the velocity of sound through a fluid in a pipe. ‐ Demonstration of the effects of cavitation on subsequent cycles.
