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, […]

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, […]
