For example, the response of the turbulence structure and strength to transient waves in pipes and the loss of flow axisymmetry in pipes due to hydrodynamic instabilities are currently not understood.
#WATER HAMMER FULL#
While straightforward in terms of the one-dimensional nature of pipe networks, the full description of transient fluid flows pose interesting problems in fluid dynamics. Hydraulic transients in closed conduits have been a subject of both theoretical study and intense practical interest for more than one hundred years.

Maximum allowable total transient pressure is 30 bar.Design pressure of the pipe is 14.9 bar at 40☌.Above ground installation ambient temperature is 40☌.Therefore, values for different surge pressures for the same pipe class can be calculated by changing the values of the Line velocity V.Įxample:Calculating the surge pressure in paragraph 4. Please note the surge pressure P is in direct linear relation to the value of the line velocity V. The value of a = Velocity of pressure wave was calculated using the instantaneous Modulus of Elasticity. Furthermore, because of the cross-linked structure, the Pexgol pipe can withstand a total transient pressure (recurring or occasional surge pressure + working pressure) at least 2.5 times the design pressure in the relevant temperature. Because of the flexibility and resilience of Pexgol pipes, the surge pressures caused by the water hammer are much reduced. In case of recurring water hammer shock waves, HDPE pipes are limited to a maximum total occasional pressure of only 1.5 times the working pressure. The resistance of HDPE pipes depends on the nature of the water hammer. In order to determine the resistance of the pipe material to the water hammer phenomenon, the total occurring pressure (surge pressure + working pressure) should be calculated and compared to the maximum allowable total occurring pressure in each pipe material. Since the velocity a of the pressure wave is related to the short-term modulus of elasticity E, the velocity a decreases when the value of E is lower. The value of the short-term modulus of elasticity E for Pexgol pipes is much lower than the value of E for steel pipes, concrete pipes or HDPE pipes. Pressure caused by water hammer can be minimized by increasing closure times of valves to a value greater than 2L/a.įor example, when the closure time is 10 times 2L/a, the pressure surge can be 10% – 20% of the surge caused by closure in a time equal to or less than 2L/a.
