Water hammer protection

Water hammer is a pressure surge caused by an abrupt change in flow — a pump trip, a fast-closing valve, a power cut. Left unmanaged, it fatigues and ultimately damages pipelines, fittings and valves.

Water hammer protection

Surge vessels

A buffer volume that absorbs the pressure wave and returns fluid during the depression that follows.

  • Clean water vessels
  • Wastewater vessels

Water hammer air traps

Release of air accumulated at high points, which disrupts flow and amplifies transient effects.

  • Double-acting air valves
  • High-point installation

Water hammer accessories

Complementary devices that keep the protection assembly working as intended.

  • Non-return valves
  • Associated instrumentation
