How to calculate required valve closure times to prevent surge..
How to calculate required valve closure times to prevent surge..
(OP)
Dear sirs,
I've read lost of really detailed articles about pipeline surge or water hammer. I am working on project with short lines <2 km. Most less than 300meters, I want to calculate if there is likely to be a surge problem and if i need to specify slow closing valves.
Can anyone please point me in the correct direction of a calculation guide.
