Pipe Surge and Water Hammer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-FMP-11305
Quick Answer: The Pipe Surge and Water Hammer apparatus is used for surge investigations: a steady flow from a header tank passes through a surge pipe to a surge tower. Closing the surge valve quickly, downstream of the surge pipe, creates the pressure surge.

Key Features
- Header tank feeding a surge pipe and surge tower
- Valves set a steady flow through the surge pipe
- Friction along the surge pipe gives a measurable head loss between header tank and surge tower
- Surge valve downstream of the surge pipe is shut quickly to create the surge
- Runs repeated at different flows give different head loss values
About This Product
Surge experiments show what happens to pressure in a pipeline when flow is stopped suddenly. Students record the maximum surge height in the tower and the time from valve closure to peak surge, then repeat at other flow rates to see how head loss changes the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the surge created?
Students set a steady flow from the header tank through the surge pipe, then quickly shut the surge valve downstream of the pipe.
