5、.Water Hammer shock has long been known to be a destructive force in plumbing water sup-ply systems. Water hammer is that condition which defines the destructive forces, pounding noises and vibration caused by the immediate cessation of water flowing in a pipeline. After years of study on this issue

6、, the Plumbing and Drainage Institute published their findings in 1965 in a publication entitled Standard PDI-WH201 “Water Hammer Arresters.” Water hammer forces can be controlled with a reduction of the intensity of the shock wave. Although some codes permit the use of an air chamber to temper the

7、shock wave, the engi-neering community generally agrees that the installation of an Engineered Water Hammer Arrester to reduce the shock wave intensity. Air chambers are required to be oversized to be effective. Because they are subject to loss of the air cushion with each dissipation of a shock wav

8、e, the chamber must be periodically recharged. The effective approaches to correction of water hammer are twofold. First, the proper sized engineered water hammer arrester must be selected. Second, the arrester must be properly installed. This standard outlines the performance requirements for Water

9、 Hammer Arresters, and de-scribes those performance requirements in terms of methods of testing applicable to all such units. Equivalent materials to those referenced which are intended to demonstrate compliance with these requirements shall be acceptable with proof of equivalence. Common design, ty

10、pes and sizes are defined or stated throughout this document for the basis of standardization with other industry components. Other designs, types and sizes falling outside the scope of this standard which may comply with the intent of the standard will be treated as special require-ments when submi

11、tted for analysis.It is recommended that all devices designed for plumbing systems, especially those which pertain to public health and safety, should be installed by qualified and trained mechanics.Manufacturers who desire certification to this standard from ASSE shall be required to have their pro

12、ducts tested to this standard by an ASSE approved laboratory.The Plumbing and Drainage Institute also offers a certification program to the manufacturer. Any manufacturer, whether or not a member of the PDI, may have their units tested by a qualified independent laboratory for certification in accor

13、dance with PDI certification require-ments. For further information on this program, as well as information as to the use of the PDI Certification Mark and participation in its annual visual inspection and physical test program, contact the Plumbing and Drainage Institute at 45 Bristol Dr., Suite 10

31、test set-up shall subject the device to the full energy imposed by the abrupt stoppage of a 50 foot (15.2 meter) column of water flowing in a standard schedule 40 steel pipe exerting a total pressure not to exceed 250.0 psi (1723.8 kPa) for the AA size and 400.0 psi (2758.1 kPa) for sizes A through

32、F. This test arrangement shall be as shown in Figure 1. In order to insure reproducible test results, the following tolerances shall be maintained.1. Surge valve (21) - flow termination not to exceed 25 milliseconds.2. Flow pressure 0.5 psig ( 3.5 kPa).3. Total pressure 10 psig ( 70.0 kPa) (surge pl

Pressure transducer smallest incremental reading shall be 2 psig (13.8 kPa)Each device shall be installed in the test set-up (Item #20 of Figure 1), and shall use the corre-sponding test pipe (Item #15). The ball valve (Item #19) shall be moved to the closed position. The pump shall be en

34、ergized to fill the system with water and the system, including gauges, valves and fittings, shall be purged of air. The test pipe shall be fully supported to avoid high spots to prevent entrapment of air. The device shall then be filled with water in the inverted position. In devices containing an

35、orifice, the fill tube shall be inserted in the orifice to eliminate the pos-sibility of trapping air in the bellows convolutions. The filled inverted unit shall then be capped with a thin plate and, with the plate held firmly in place, shall be rotated to the normally installed position and shall b

36、e placed on the brimming ball valve fitting. The plate shall be slipped out from its position between the device and the ball valve as the test unit is threaded into the ball valve and secured in place. The test conditions shall then be established. The pump (Item #5) shall be energized to circulate

37、 water through the system with ball valve (Item #17) open to the gauge (Item #18). Valves (Item #14) and (Item #23) shall be adjusted to obtain the approximate flow rate required to maintain the pressure specified in Table 1 on gauge (Item #18). Ball valve (Item #17) shall be closed isolating the pr

38、essure gauge and ball valve (Item #19) shall be opened to expose the test unit to the system pressure. The cycle timer (Item #33) and hydraulic pump motor (Item #29) shall be energized and final adjustment shall be made to the water flow with valve (Item #24) to the total pressure specified in Table

39、 1. The maximum total pressure shall be recorded for five (5) cycles after the hydraulic system temperature has stabilized. The average of these readings shall be used for determining compliance. For AA size, the total pressure in Table 1 for test calibration shall equal 250.0 psig (190.0 psig surge

40、 plus 60.0 psig flow) 1723.8 kPa (1310.1 kPa surge plus 413.7 kPa flow).3.1.3.
