WHAT IS WATER HAMMER?
Who We Are
This website is a resource meant to raise awareness about water hammer, a major issue within the world of hydraulic piping systems.
If you work with hydraulic piping systems, you have heard water hammer in your pipes.
Water hammer (also called fluid hammer) is a pressure surge caused when a fluid in motion is suddenly forced to stop. The most common occurrence is when a valve closes at an end of a pipeline system. The sudden closure creates a pressure spike / wave 4-8 times the normal flowing pressure which leads to a vacuum condition within the pipe. Undiagnosed water hammer will cause major problems including burst pipes.
