2. Water hammer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

   The water hammer principle can be used to create a simple water pump called a hydraulic ram. Leaks can sometimes be detected using water hammer. Enclosed air pockets can be detected in pipelines. The water hammer from a liquid jet created by a collapsing microcavity is studied for potential applications noninvasive transdermal drug delivery. [33]

3. 10 Reasons Why Your Toilet Won’t Stop Clogging - AOL

   www.aol.com/10-reasons-why-toilet-won-172100092.html

   All that should go into your toilet is waste and toilet paper. However, many people flush things like sanitary products, diapers, paper towels, cotton swabs, and dental floss. Wipes marked as ...

4. Plumber's snake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumber's_snake

   A plumber's snake or drain snake or drain auger is a slender, flexible auger used to dislodge clogs in plumbing. The plumber's snake is often reserved for difficult clogs that cannot be loosened with a plunger. It is also sometimes called a toilet jack. A plumbers snake is often used by plumbers to clear a clogged drain pipe or sanitary sewer.

5. Trap (plumbing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(plumbing)

   Maintaining the water seal is critical to trap operation; traps might dry out, and poor venting can suction or blow water out of the traps. This is usually avoided by venting the drain pipes downstream of the trap; by being vented to the atmosphere outside the building, the drain lines never operate at a pressure much higher or lower than ...

6. Hydropneumatic device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_device

   Stops water hammering. Placed immediately after the discharge of a pump that is started fast into a pipe full of a long column of liquid. Reduces start up surge pressure. Placed immediately after a pump, which when caused to stop suddenly, enables a vacuum to form, which pulls the flow back towards the pump. Prevents an implosion bang.

7. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

   A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.

8. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

   The portion of water available at the delivery pipe will be reduced by the ratio of the delivery head to the supply head. Thus if the source is 2 metres (6.6 ft) above the ram and the water is lifted to 10 metres (33 ft) above the ram, only 20% of the supplied water can be available, the other 80% being spilled via the waste valve.

9. Talk:Water hammer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Water_hammer

   The magnitude of the Water hammer pulse is proportional to the velocity of the flow. Also, after the pipe is of a certain length the magnitude of the pulse remains the same. So it has little to do with the kinetic energy of the flow. I will elucidate the derivation when I get to a textbook. Donebythesecondlaw 19:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
