CHECK VALVE WATER HAMMER CHARACTERISTICS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4140981
A method is developed for predicting water hammer in any system provided the rates of forward-flow deceleration and back-flow acceleration are known. Check-valve disc weight. disc inertia, reaction between water and disc, body configurations, disc shape, and mechanical aids to closure are considered. Correlation between the method and experimental results was very good, deviations being within 10%. (C.J.G.)
