Waterhammer and Surge Analysis Software

Learn about AFT IMpulse and how engineers use the simulation software to calculate pressure surge transients in liquid piping systems caused by waterhammer. With AFT Impulse, engineers can prevent transient pressure issues by properly sizing and locating surge equipment, such as surge tanks, gas accumulators, and relief valves.. and much more.

How to use AFT Impulse to Simulate Waterhammer or Surge

Analyzing waterhammer and surge to mitigate harmful transients can be overwhelming. It is often a specialized field. AFT Impulse helps bring the learning curve to a more manageable level. With an intuitive interface, engineers can either build a new model or transition their steady-state models to analyze the surge transients. AFT Impulse provides detailed output as well as animation to visualize a waterhammer event to improve fundamental understanding.

AFT Impulse Data Sheet - Back

AFT Impulse provides engineers the ability to generate force imbalance files that can be automatically read into CAESAR II ? and TRIFLEX ? pipe stress dynamic models.

Become a Waterhammer Analyst with AFT Impulse

Many times operators experience a major problem caused by waterhammer at a pump, or a check valve, etc. Due to high wavespeeds, waterhammer surge waves will travel through the system at very high speeds. Therefore, the problem very well can exist well-beyond the specific component that is experiencing the issue.
