Water Hammer Apparatus- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
The experimental set-up for the
investigation of water hammer in pipes is clearly laid out on a
laboratory trolley. For reasons of space, the experimental pipe section
is of a spiral design. The medium used for the experiments is water.
Using solenoid valves, an abrupt change in the flow speed in the pipe
can be induced, this initiates a pressure pulse. A pressure vessel with a
cushion of air simulates an open ended pipe such that there is a clear
reflection of the pressure wave. A pressure transducer measures the
pressure wave and converts it into a voltage signal. To make the
pressure characteristic visible, an oscilloscope can be connected. The
reflection time and closing time of the solenoid valve can be read on
the oscillogram. The oscilloscope is not included. Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipments manufacturers
