Pressure surge (aka, waterhammer) analysis is not just a good idea, it is required in part by code – specifically ASME B31.4 for pipelines. It guides you to look at cases of variation from normal operation to ensure pressures don’t go too crazy. That requires doing some calcs.

Many engineers are intimidated by the topic, but we are here to show you the way. Using simulation software, like AFT Impulse, does the heavy lifting in doing these analyses to ensure your pipeline meets code.
