Water Hammer Upstream Pipe Length Formula
\( WH_{upl} \;=\; a \; v \;/\; g \) (Water Hammer Upstream Pipe Length) \( a \;=\; WH_{upl} \; g \;/\; v \) \( v \;=\; WH_{upl} \; g \;/\; a \) \( g \;=\; a \; v \;/\; WH_{upl} \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( WH_{upl} \) = water hammer upstream pipe length	\(ft\)	\(m\)
\( a \) = speed of sound of fluid	\(ft\;/\;sec\)	\(m\;/\;s\)
\( v \) = velocity of fluid	\(ft\;/\;sec\)	\(m\;/\;s\)
\( g \) = gravitational acceleration	\(ft\;/\;sec^2\)	\(m\;/\;s^2\)
