VALVE AND PIPING

Industrial valves play a crucial role in pipeline systems in various industries. They regulate the flow of fluids such as water, oil, gas, and chemicals. Selecting the right valve enhances system efficiency, minimizes equipment damage, and ensures safe operations. Therefore, choosing the appropriate valve for industrial applications is essential.

Understanding Water Hammer and How to Prevent ItIf you've ever experienced loud banging noises in your pipes when opening or closing a valve, inconsistent water flow, or even pipe damage due to sudden pressure surges, you may be facing Water Hammer. This phenomenon occurs when the water pressure changes abruptly within the pipes, creating a shockwave that can damage your plumbing system.

Water hammer, also known as water shock, is a phenomenon that occurs in a piping system when there is a sudden change in direction or cessation of the flow of water. It usually occurs when a valve is closed or the flow of water in a pipe is stopped quickly. The sudden cessation of water causes pressure to build up in the pipe, and when the water stops flowing abruptly, this pressure is converted into a shock wave that travels through the pipe. This is the main cause of the loud noises heard in piping systems, such as the "thud" or "thud" sounds that occur when a pipe valve is closed quickly.
