Pressure testing technologies can be very cost-effective and supply highly repeatable and accurate leak test results. 📈 Choosing which is the right one to use for a particular application can be challenging. In this on-demand webinar, we cover both pressure decay and differential pressure decay and how best to use them for accurate leak testing. https://hubs.li/Q02sGCc20

'wrote this article about 5 years ago about pressure surges in liquid systems. It's still an interesting read and a knowledge refresh for myself at least!

CHECK VALVE WATER HAMMER: HOW SURGE VESSELS CAN WORSEN THE PROBLEM One of the negative consequences of using a surge vessel is its potential to significantly amplify system deceleration. This often necessitates the use of specialized check valves, which are either capable of rapid closure or employ cushioned closure techniques (backspin risk) during the final stages of operation to mitigate the effects of rapid deceleration The anti-slam nozzle check valve is specifically designed to prevent pressure surges, even in critical scenarios where fluid deceleration is a concern. However, it is important to note that this valve only mitigates the overpressure surge caused during its slamming closure. The primary pressure surge resulting from subsequent flow reversal remains unaffected. Dupont's anti-slam solution, proposed in 1969, suggests relocating the surge vessel approximately 60 meters away from the check valve. This adjustment offers two potential benefits: ·       Reduced System Deceleration: Relocating the vessel alleviates the load on the check valve by decreasing the rate of deceleration. ·       Increased Vessel Efficiency: The delayed reflection of the collateral pressure wave can enhance the effective volume of the surge vessel. While this approach shows potential, further investigation and research are necessary to confirm its effectiveness and applicability in various system configurations.

FAQs about Depth Filters - What is the fluid flow direction? The fluid flow's direction in a depth filter cartridge is from the outside to the inside. This flow direction utilizes the greater outside diameter and surface area and enables optimum use of the media for capture of contaminants. - What are the different end-adapters? The different end adaptors have different functions. Gaskets and O-ring seal end adaptors elevate the filter connections' integrity between the filter housing and the filter. - How much contamination will a filter hold? The amount of contaminant, by weight, that a depth filter will hold is largely dependent on the filter's micron rating, as well as the particle size distribution and type of contaminant.

The upstream pipes of pumps are often larger than the downstream pipes to ensure proper pump operation and efficiency. Here's why: 1- Avoid Cavitation: Cavitation is a phenomenon where vapor bubbles form in a liquid due to a drop in pressure, which can damage the pump. A larger upstream pipe helps reduce the fluid velocity, minimizing the pressure drop and reducing the risk of cavitation. 2- Minimize Suction Losses: Pumps rely on the pressure difference between the inlet (upstream) and outlet (downstream) to move fluid. A larger upstream pipe reduces friction losses and maintains a steady pressure at the inlet, allowing the pump to function effectively without straining to draw the liquid in. 3- Ensure a Steady Flow: A larger pipe upstream ensures the pump receives an adequate and steady flow of fluid. A smaller inlet pipe could restrict flow and cause the pump to starve, leading to poor performance or damage. 4- Increase Pressure on the Discharge Side: Pumps are designed to increase pressure on the downstream (discharge) side. A smaller downstream pipe helps to convert the increased velocity (from the pump’s action) into pressure. This is important for delivering the fluid at the desired pressure and flow rate. In summary, the larger upstream pipe ensures smooth flow into the pump, avoids cavitation, and reduces suction losses, while the smaller downstream pipe increases pressure for better fluid delivery.
