Waterhammer analisys its obligatory ?
- Thread starter Cesaredu
- Start date
From 2002 version of B31.3:
E) Sources of pressure to he considered include ambient influences, pressure oscillations and surges, improper operation, decomposition of unstable fluids, static head, and failure of control devices.
In my mind it means that if the waterhammer analysis limits/defines the design envelope then it is obligatory.

May not be sooooo simple, but it is not difficult, unless your client makes it so. Just so happens I have a guy right now that thinks its (botttle) rocket science; specs the pipe length and elevations to the 1/10th of a mm, enters 5000 elevation points on a 100 km pipeline (for that to be accurate you must correct for temperature difference from 60F to the temperature during construction), puts 66 head points on the pump curve and yet doesn't manage to describe the curve out to zero flow, apparently NOT thinking that 8 equally spaced points from 0 to runout will regress a better equation than his 66 points from 0 to BEP.
GIGO pays the bills.

BTW, these days, as stated above, its relatively easy and the practice has been standardized to such an extent that, if you didn't do it, it just as easily might be considered as malpractice, especially if injury or damage of any kind resulted from what might be any plausible overpressure argument.

Review Hydrocarbon Processing July 2009
Estimate water hammer loads in steam piping
The Problem is more complicated because of the two-pahses flow.

It is true that if you enter the 2-phase regime, it becomes instantly more complicated... with any fluid.

Today they're changing the steady state report because (I found the) pressure increased by 20 psi, over 1133 psig required, due to erroneous elevations being selected from the pipeline elevation profile. It turns out taht they used spot elevations at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30 km, etc. rather than high and low elevations over various segment lengths. (Hydraulics don't give a RA about spot elevations.) But, for a 1.8% error, its really not worth changing the report. I don't know what they'd do, if they had a hot oil line in a winter to summer temperature, wet to dry soil heat transfer coefficient and variable heat capacity environment with a few pipeline shutdowns such that the hydraulics never ever stabilize. Hard to get just one magic number out of a scenario like that.

I found this information, sorry for the traduction
Before a project of a line of pumping to be constructing, how to determine if it is necessary or not to study the transitory phenomena (known normally with the name of "water hammer"?
The first thing that must be done is to calculate the pressure in regime that supports the pipeline.
Then Jucowski's pulse must evaluate of overpressures, that is the maximum value that the same one can adopt. Later, the pressure is evaluated in regime(diet) + - the pulse and is observed if it comes to dangerous values for the break of the pipeline (to see specifications of the same one) or minor values to-6 to-7 m of water column to avoid cavitation in the whole pipeline. Of being near these limits in some case it suits to study with more detail the system
