Pipe Burst Risk Assessment Using Transient Analysis in Surge 2000

Transients can introduce large pressure forces and rapid fluid accelerations in to a water distribution system. These disturbances may result in pump and device failures, system fatigue and pipe ruptures or bursts and even the intrusion of dirty water. Proper analysis of transient and risk factors of existing networks helps in the formulation of low-cost, long-range non-destructive pipe conditi…
