Fluid hammer and surges can destroy any pressure transducer and must always be avoided. A pressure snub-
ber should be installed to eliminate the damaging hammer effects.
Fluid hammer occurs when a liquid flow is suddenly stopped, as with quick closing solenoid valves. Surges
occur when flow is suddenly begun, as when a pump is turned on at full power or a valve is quickly opened.
Liquid surges are particularly damaging to pressure transducers if the pipe is originally empty. To avoid dam-
aging surges, fluid lines should remain full (if possible), pumps should be brought up to power slowly, and
valves opened slowly. To avoid damage from both fluid hammer and surges, a surge chamber should be
installed, and a pressure snubber should be installed on every transducer.
Symptoms of fluid hammer and surge's damaging effects:
a) Pressure transducer exhibits an output at zero pressure (large zero offset). If zero offset is less than 10% F.S.,
user can usually re-zero meter, install proper snubber and continue monitoring pressures.
b) Pressure transducer output remains constant regardless of pressure.
c) In severe cases, there will be no output.
