Water Hammer Pressure Calculator helps contractors and tradespeople accurately size, spec, and estimate materials and systems.

Формула

Surge Pressure = ρ × a × V / g where a=wave speed, V=velocity change

  1. 1Calculate wave speed, multiply by velocity change and density
  2. 2Apply the formula using your project measurements
  3. 3Add required safety factors or waste allowances per code

Worked Examples

Инпут
V=5 fps change, a=4000 fps wave speed
Резултат
Surge = (62.4 × 4000 × 5) / (32.2 × 144) = 269 PSI

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not applying code-required safety factors or derating
  • Forgetting to account for waste and cut losses in material estimates
