About Pipe Surge and Water Hammer Apparatus

Pipe Surge And Water Hammer Apparatus MTFM-12

Pipe surge and water hammer are two related but independent phenomena which arise when fluid flowing in a pipe is accelerated or decelerated. The associated pressure transients can be damaging to pipe work or components and systems must be designed to avoid or with stand them.

The equipment designed by clearly demonstrates the different effects resulting from gradual or instantaneous changes in fluid velocity. Effect of initial fluid velocity can also be investigated. Pipe surge resulting from a gradual change in fluid velocity is clearly seen as fluctuating changes in head in a surge shaft.

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 cavitations on subsequent cycles.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Pipe surge test pipe: stainless steel 22 mm I/D x 3 m long
Surge shaft : clear acrylic 40 mm I/D x 800 mm H
Service pump: centrifugal type, delivering 1.35 liters/sec at 3 m H20
Flow rate measurement: volumetric tank, stepped 0-40 liter high flows 0-6 liter low flows
Head tank: capacity 45 liters
A self-contained unit designed to demonstrate the phenomena of pipe surge and water hammer.
The unit includes two separate test pipes, service module and constant head tank.
Two pressure transducers provide electrical signals for connection to a dual trace storage oscilloscope with an integral printer output.
Straight pipes are used, rather than a coiled arrangement, to reduce distortion of the pressure wave.

Visual Inspection and Durability

This apparatus features stainless steel and acrylic pipes, combining strength, chemical resistance, and clear observation windows. The transparent acrylic section allows direct visualization of fluid behavior, crucial for understanding surge and water hammer dynamics in educational and research settings.

Advanced Measurement and Control

Equipped with a rotameter for accurate flow measurement and both analog and digital pressure gauges, the system ensures precise monitoring of test conditions. The optional pressure transducer enables digital data acquisition for enhanced analysis and record-keeping, supporting sophisticated experiments.

Safety and Compliance

User safety is paramount, with integrated overload protection for the centrifugal pump and leak-proof connections. The apparatus complies with laboratory testing standards and includes installation requirements for secure and reliable operation, making it suitable for educational and professional laboratories.

FAQs of Pipe Surge and Water Hammer Apparatus:

Q: How does the Pipe Surge and Water Hammer Apparatus demonstrate surge and water hammer phenomena?

A: By regulating water flow through the pipe and suddenly changing conditions using manual or automatic controls, the apparatus visibly displays pressure surges and water hammer effects. Observers can view the rapid pressure changes through the transparent acrylic window and measure them using the pressure gauges.

Q: What materials are used in the construction of this apparatus and why?

A: The device utilizes stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance, with acrylic pipes for providing a transparent view of internal fluid movement during tests. These materials ensure reliable operation and easy observation, enhancing both durability and educational value.

Q: When should the pressure transducer be used with this apparatus?

A: The optional pressure transducer is recommended when precise digital data logging of pressure fluctuations is required, such as in advanced laboratory research, calibration exercises, or when detailed analysis of the water hammer effect is required for educational demonstrations.

Q: Where can this equipment be installed and operated?

A: The apparatus is designed for laboratory table-top mounting, requiring a water source and a 220-240V AC electric supply. It conforms to laboratory installation standards and is suitable for fluid machines laboratories in academic, research, and industrial institutions.

Q: What process is followed for running a test using this apparatus?

A: Users connect the specimen pipe, adjust flow using the rotameter, set the desired test speed, and activate the centrifugal pump. Pressure readings are monitored via the gauges, and fluid surges are introduced and observed through the acrylic window. Manual or automatic controls manage test conditions.

Q: How does using this apparatus benefit fluid mechanics education and research?

A: It provides hands-on experience and visual understanding of pipe surge and water hammer phenomena, with precise measurement and data acquisition features. This builds technical competence, fosters experimental skill, and supports comprehensive laboratory training or research analysis.

Q: What usage limitations should be considered during operation?

A: Operate the apparatus within specified test speed (up to 2 m/s), temperature (5C40C), humidity (up to 85% RH), and pressure ranges (06 bar). Ensure only one specimen pipe is tested at a time, and always follow the provided safety guidelines to protect equipment and personnel.
