Pressure surges can occur in fire protection systems as the result of sudden velocity or flow direction changes such as the quick opening or closing of a valve or the sudden starting or shutting down of a pump. Such water surge/water hammer events can cause significant damage to piping and accessories and this needs to be taken into account during the design, implementation and operations of these systems. In our next webinar, we’ll be explaining how to identify potential surges and how to use innovative methods and technologies to prevent or reduce them in pump and valve operations.
On the Agenda
Identifying potential surge issues in fire protection systems
Preventing or reducing damaging surge pressure spikes in pump or valve operations
Innovative methods and technologies for long-term reliability
Who Should Attend?
Fire protection engineers, designers, application engineers, operators, auditors and technicians who are interested in learning more about identifying and preventing water surge in fire protection systems and about fire pump surge control.
