Pipe Surge & Water Hammer Apparatus
The equipment is self-contained and is close circuit system. It consists of two test sections, one for pipe surge and other for water hammer phenomenon. The whole system incorporates a head tank, measuring tank, sump tank,circulating pump, a lever operated gate valve and flow control valve. The water enters the test pipe via the constant head tank and discharges into the measuring tank.Two electronic Pressure sensors with current output of 4 -20mA are installed on the unit.The present set-up has a facility to interface the system with computer which enables to log the experimental data using computer.
