Feature:

• Water hammer demonstrations are conducted using the second test pipe, which incorporates a fast acting valve at the discharge.
• Tappings incorporating electronic pressure sensors are located in the test pipe adjacent to the fast acting valve and half way along the test pipe.
• These sensors measure the high-speed pressure transients inside the pipe as the water hammer travels backwards and forwards along the test pipe.
• The time delay between the sensors can be used to determine the speed of sound through the water that is attenuated by the elasticity of the metal pipe wall.
