Figure 1: Fast-acting valves and direct-on-line pump starting are common causes of water hammer, but careful mechanical and electrical design using slow-close valves, VFDs on pumps, spring-assisted check valves, and proper pipe supports can reduce the risk of this damaging phenomenon.
Protecting pressure instruments from water hammer spikes
A pressure sensor with an elevated zero, a locked output or a signal that no longer agrees with nearby instruments is often blamed on calibration or wiring. But the real root ...
