The Labtronic Water Hammer and Surge Chamber is a closed circuit system designed to investigate two distinct phenomena: pipe surge and water hammer. The system is comprised of two test sections, each equipped with specialized valves and pressure sensors, which allow for precise measurements of pressure oscillations and pressure curves.
In addition to the test sections, the system also includes a head tank, measuring tank, sump tank, circulating pump, lever operated gate valve, and flow control valve. Water is introduced into the test pipe through the constant head tank and flows into the measuring tank, where it is monitored by two pressure sensors.
One of the key features of the Water Hammer and Surge Chamber is its user-friendly software interface, which enables easy logging and analysis of experimental data. This software allows the user to customize data collection parameters, generate Excel spreadsheets, and print out stored data.
Overall, the Labtronic Water Hammer and Surge Chamber is a sophisticated research tool that offers precise measurements and user-friendly data analysis capabilities.
Enable the observation and analysis of water hammer in pipes, as well as the functioning of surge chambers. The training unit is capable of conducting surge experiments through the rapid closure of a ball valve. This sudden closure causes the kinetic energy of the water flow to be converted into potential energy in the surge tank. Additionally, water hammer phenomenon experiments can be conducted by quickly closing the solenoid valve. This results in the kinetic energy of the water being converted into pressure energy, creating a powerful wave known as water hammer.
