What is water hammer? Water hammer (or hydraulic shock) is themomentary increase in pressure, which occursin a water system when there is a suddenchange of direction or velocity of the water.When a rapidly closed valve suddenly stopswater flowing in a pipeline, pressure energy istransferred to the valve and pipe wall.ater hammer (or hydraulic shock) is themomentary increase in pressure, which occursin a water system when there is a suddenchange of direction or velocity of the water.When a rapidly closed valve suddenly stopswater flowing in a pipeline, pressure energy istransferred to the valve and pipe wall.
Water hammer happens when you turn OFF a water flow suddenly (like a dishwasher, a clothes washer, a toilet or even closing a hand faucet suddenly. Shutting off the flow suddenly sends a pressure or shock wave down the water line through the water shocking the pipes and creating the 'hammer' noise. These shock waves travel faster than the speed of sound and can exert very great instantaneous pressures.
