Water Hammer Upstream Pipe Length

    

Water Hammer Upstream Pipe Length Formula

\( WH_{upl} \;=\;  \dfrac{ a \cdot v }{ g   }\)     (Water Hammer Upstream Pipe Length)

\( a \;=\;  \dfrac{ WH_{upl} \cdot g }{ v   }\)

\( v \;=\; \dfrac{ WH_{upl} \cdot g }{ a   }\)

\( g \;=\; \dfrac{ a \cdot v }{ WH_{upl}   }\)

Symbol English Metric
\( WH_{upl}  \) = water hammer upstream pipe length \(ft\) -
\( a \) = speed of sound of fluid  \(ft\;/\;sec\)  -
\( v \) = velocity of fluid \(ft\;/\;sec\) -
\( g \) = gravitational acceleration \(ft\;/\;sec^2\) -
