Methods of prevention Waterhammer Analysis & Design Benefits of ABS Disadvantages of ABS Low modulus hence low Low pressure rating wavespeed (celerity) and Low surface hence low increased pressure roughness delays Instantaneous stress pressure decay Longer valve closure property values Vacuum Resistance times Fatigue Resistance Notches at sockets Increased number of Elastic Follow On supports Waterhammer Analysis & Design ABS has lower wave speed than PVC and GRP Wavespeed for steel 1100-1400 m/s Wavespeed varies with support design and jointing Waterhammer Analysis & Design A separate demonstration of waterhammer analysis will now be shown using AFT's Impulse software. Waterhammer Analysis & Design Mitigation Measures Stronger pipework to withstand Surge anticipation valves
