AFT Arrow 10 has been enhanced with a noise calculation at a pressure-reducing device, to help engineers avoid failures caused by AIV based on Energy Institute guidelines. High-Frequency Acoustic Excitation (AIV） - In a gas system, high levels of high-frequency acoustic energy can be generated by a pressure-reducing device such as a relief valve, control […]
In 2016, a waterhammer event occurred at an alumina refinery which caused a slurry pump to catastrophically fail. Like many engineering failures, this one was a result of several independent issues combining in time and space to cause a catastrophic failure. This webinar will review the event, root cause of the failure, and guidance on […]
The Empowering Pumps & Industry Conference is where the industry can come to connect with manufacturers, distributors, end users, associations, and students in one place. The two-day event will feature presentations from subject matter experts, roundtable discussions, exhibits, and tours of The Water Tower (TWT) campus and Gwinnett County’s F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center. […]
A model in AFT software is only a representation of a physical system. Properly calibrating a model to field data is often the first step in hydraulic analysis, ensuring changes to the model will be reflected by the physical system. There is often uncertainty when modeling existing systems, modifying piping and components to capture degradation, […]

With 250+ exhibitors, 6000+ attendees, and 50+ education sessions, Groundwater Week has something for everyone—whether it's getting a sneak peek at the newest in groundwater technology, earning CEUS, or connecting with others!
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, […]
Join instructor Glen Powell as he focuses on ways to identify structural resonance and how to eliminate the high vibration amplitudes that commonly accompany it without the guesswork. Wednesday December 6, 2023 | 2:00 – 3:30 Central (Chicago)
What You Will Learn This session will present and discuss an innovative approach to sizing and selection of pumps for HVAC systems. Key topics covered will include a review of existing practices, selection and operation of parallel pumps, leveraging redundancy without compromising on cost plus opportunities to reduce installed cost. Join us for this informative […]
