Water Hammer Pressure Increase
Water Hammer Pressure Increase Formula |
||
|
\( WH_{pi} \;=\; \rho \; v \; \Delta v \;/\; 2 \; g \) (Water Hammer Pressure Increase) \( \rho \;=\; 2 \; g \; WH_{pi} \;/\; v \; \Delta v \) \( v \;=\; 2 \; g \; WH_{pi} \;/\; \rho \; \Delta v \) \( \Delta v \;=\; 2 \; g \; WH_{pi} \;/\; \rho \; v \) \( g \;=\; \rho \; v \; \Delta v \;/\; 2 \; WH_{pi} \) |

| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( WH_{pi} \) = Water Hammer Pressure Increase (psi) | \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) | \(Ps\) |
| \( \rho \) (Greek symbol rho) = Fluid Density | \(lbm\;/\;ft^3\) | \(kg\;/\;m^3\) |
| \( v \) = Fluid Velocity | \(ft\;/\;sec\) | \(m\;/\;s\) |
| \( \Delta v \) = Fluid Velocity Change | \(ft\;/\;sec\) | \(m\;/\;s\) |
| \( g \) = Gravitational Acceleration | \(ft\;/\;sec^2\) | \(m\;/\;s^2\) |
