Effect of Valve Operation on Water Hammer S. Logan Kerr
In this article, a series of actual problems dealing with the effect of valve action on water hammer was discussed and field test data shown. Three sets of tests are presented to illustrate the relationship between flow and valve position. All three sets were made in the field and the check valve was used to throttle the discharge. The purpose of the discussion following the article was to illustrate variations in the flow‐cutting characteristics of valves caused by various specific factors. The comments suggest reasons why general information is not available for application to a wider range of specific installations.
