Water hammer. Water hammer is a destructive force that relates to the incompressibility of water. The phenomenon often occurs when filling an empty pipe or quickly closing a valve. It often leads to pipe noise or even destruction of pipes, valves etc. The water hammer pulse sent through the pipes is the sudden pressure build-up that occurs when ...

Water Hammer Basics. Water hammer, Pressure Surge, or hydraulic shock, is a term for the destructive pressure increase and accompanying shock wave that takes place in pipeline or piping systems when the flow rate of liquid changes suddenly. A large vapor pocket is formed because of this within the pipeline; and when this vapor pocket collapses ...

The hydraulic ram uses the kinetic energy of water flowing in a driver pipe to pump up about 10% of it to a higher elevation. Thereby, no external energy input is needed.
Factors such as the sudden closing of a valve, the start-up of a pump, and the rapid filling of a tank are responsible for water hammer in pipes. Damages such as leaks, cracking, bursts, and fittings separation are caused to the pipe due to this shockwave ( …

Hydraulic transients, also known as surge or water hammer, occur when a column of liquid undergoes a sudden change in velocity, which results in transient pressure spikes that go above and below the average system pressure (Figure 1). This transient pressure can result in damage to the pump, the system, and associated components (Figure 2).
The prevention of excessive pressure build-up in pipelines requires a thorough understanding of water hammer phenomena.
