Surge Absorbers

Piping systems often present themselves with pressure problems, either because of rapid closing valves in the system or by pump start-up or shut-downwhen a corresponding change in velocity introduces a rapid pressure rise. Besides the nuisance of pipe hammer, these surges can cause considerable damage, not the least of which are line breaks and leaking flanges. Easy to solve for, surge absorbers take into account system pressures, volumes, acoustic velocities, and flow regimes.
