Visualize. Understand. Solve.
An international leading software to simulate, analyze and mitigate water hammer / surge in piping systems
Water hammer is when flow in a piping system is suddenly forced to stop or change direction. It can cause the system to rock, bounce, or break from the pressure surge. There can also be a loud sound as the momentum changes and the wave knocks against the valves and continuously changes direction within the pipe. Water hammer/surge are serious concerns in all piping systems and AFT Impulse can help you identify the issues and create effective solutions.
Why AFT Impulse?
- Evaluate how valves, pumps and other components will dynamically interact with each other during a surge event
- Quickly determine the forces generated by transient pressures to help you design your pipe support
- Find out if you complying with ASME B31.3 requirements for occasional loads
- Understand the impact that cavitation can have on your piping system
- Ensure you have the right surge suppression equipment to mitigate potentially catastrophic effects of water hammer/surge and other undesirable system transients like check valve and relief valve chatter
- Use AFT’s Global Editing feature to massively edit multiple pieces of information at the same time
- Use AFT’s Scenario Manager to handle all the different cases a pipe system might encounter in a single model
- Jump start your models by importing your steady-state model, neutral files, piping component files, or EPANET files.
