Reducing Line Shock

Line shock, also called water hammer, is caused by the rapid closing of a valve in a system. An accumulator placed close to the valve will dampen the resulting pressure shock wave.

Please enter the following information so that we may calculate the proper accumulator size for your application:

Fluid Specific Weight, in pounds per cubic foot	Select Fluid
Flow Rate, in gallons per minute
Pipe Length, in feet
Pipe ID, in inches
Line Pressure, in PSI
Accumulator Precharge, in PSI
