The Water Hammer Unit is an educational apparatus designed for demonstrating and studying the water hammer phenomenon, which occurs in pipelines when a liquid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly, causing a pressure surge or wave. This apparatus allows students to visualize and measure the effects of water hammer in a controlled environment.
