This book deals with devices serving for control of flow in liquid supply and distribution systems, municipal, industrial and agricultural. It describes most of the appliances used in such systems, the various mechanical and hydraulic properties of such devices, and gives useful information on the installation and maintenance required to ensure their proper functioning. The topics dealt with in the book include stop, check, regulation and safety valves, air valves, meters, gauges, filters and joints and also problems in applied hydraulic - water hammer and cavitation.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Few books in the technical literature deal with appliances in * piping systems for fluid supply. This book contributes largely to * this, so important subject. A very wide range of appliances, their * hydraulic and mechanical properties can be found here, together with * some unique and important topics in applied hydraulics, and among * them: the hydraulic interdependence of the throttling device and the * piping system, and its influence on mechanical actuation of the * device. check valve behavior at various flow velocities, and the * consequent sizing of the valve. air flow conditions in an air * valve, as basis for sizing air valve orifice for draining and * filling the piping system. These together with an extensive, clear * description of most of the devices used for flow control, their * performance, installation and maintenance requirements make this * book a must for every water, oil or industrial piping system * designer, manager and operator.
From the Author
This book is based on both - the theoretical considerations of hydraulic and mechanical performance of the various devices, and on my personal experience of over 30 years of piping design, operation and maintenance. As a lecturer in several institutions for technical education I could feel the lack of the appropriate literature, which could help to understand the working of water and other fluid systems. Several problems, encountered in field, were baffling and therefore I tried to develop theoretical explanations in order to enable the system designers and operators to deal with them better. I hope that this book will help to improve the systems performance, by giving more understanding of the various fluid systems elements and hydraulic events.
