"Hydraulic Lock"
"Hydraulic Lock"
(OP)
I am wondering what causes a "hydraulic lock" in piping systems, if there is such a beast? More specifically, I have a multiple fed header in which the flow for one out of the 6 feed lines appears to be choked off. This line is the furthest upstream to feed the header. We have checked for obstructions in the piping, checked valves and calibrated flow meters, but there still appears to be a strange reduction in flow. Any suggestions?

If so, you need to get the air out of the problem circuit. Methods may include filling the problem circuit with fluid. Shut the other five feed lines to get the required head for circulating the problem line, and then open the other lines. Pressuring the system and bleeding the air from the problem circuit. Etc
