GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

 Stored materials must be placed safely and securely to eliminate potential tripping and
puncturing hazards.
 Mezzanine storage area must be kept tidy and items must be stored securely to prevent them
from falling.
 Eye, respiratory, hand and foot protection must be worn where there is danger of injury.
 All research apparatus must bear a sign detailing specific hazards and shut-down
procedures, name and phone number of the researcher.
 Defective equipment must not be used and must be reported immediately to the supervisor.
 Waste material must be removed immediately.
 Check the pipes and fittings for any leakages. Report immediately to the supervisor if any
leakage is found.
 Students are not allowed to mishandle equipment (valves, pumps, switches)
 Sitting on water storage tank is strictly forbidden.
 Disposal of any material into the flow channels is strictly forbidden.
 Care should be taken to avoid spillage when preparing and using the dye for drainage and
seepage tank and flow visualization table.
 Students’ LAB performances are assessed on Rubrics.

EXPERIMENT # 11
OBJECTIVE:
Demonstration of transient flow using Water Hammer Apparatus

APPARATUS:
1. Pipe Surge and Water Hammer Apparatus

THEORY:

The design of pumping system always involves the transient flow or surge analysis. Under
unfavorable circumstances, damage due to water hammer may occur in pipelines carrying more
than one hundred meters and conveying only several tenths of liter per seconds.

Water hammer is a pressure surge or wave resulting when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or
change in direction suddenly. This is due to the momentum change in the water flow. Water
hammer commonly occurs when a valve is closed suddenly at an end of a pipeline system, and a
pressure wave propagates in the pipe. These shock waves continue until the energy generated from
this sudden action dissipates. The symptoms include noise, vibration and hammering pipe sounds.
These can result in equipment damage, flange breakage, ruptured piping and damage to pipe
supports.
