Understanding Water Hammer in Piping Systems
Water hammer is a phenomenon that occurs when a valve closes suddenly, causing a pressure wave in the piping system. This shock wave can lead to sound and impact damage, highlighting the importance of understanding and controlling water hammer effects. Learn about the causes, concerns, effects, and protective devices against water hammer in this comprehensive guide.

What is Water Hammer? Water Hammer is a shock wave that is transmitted through the fluid contained in a piping system A water hammer commonly occurs when a valve closes suddenly at an end of a pipeline system, and a pressure wave propagates in the pipe. It is also called hydraulic shock. In simple terms, Water Hammer occurs when a fluid in motion is forced to a sudden stop 5
