NeU Device Stops Water
Hammer in Piping Systems

mentum is dissipated by oscills-
tons of pressure which usually
cause noise or vibration. Water
hammer increases pressure by
about go pounds per square inch
above the flow pressure in small
pipes for each foot per second of
decrease of velocity of flow.
Because this pressure is often
sufficient to burst pipes. there is
special significance in the an
nouncement of a new water ham,
mer arrester. The unit consists of
a closed metal bellows or compress
sion compartment which is filled
with special compressible emul-
sion and which is mounted on a
casing connected to the piping
system.
The arresters are made in diff
ferent sizes having bellows Of
different volumes, with the initial
volume in each size proportioned
to store and absorb sufficient
energy to prevent the water in the
connecting pipe from attaining an
excessive pressure.

Because pipe is made OF highly
critical material, the preservation
of this important part of the
plumbing and heating system is
vital during the stress of wartime
metal shortages.
When a pipe that has not been
frozen breaks, il breaks because of
water hammer pressure. Most
people think of water hammer
merely as a loud noise in the water
pipes. Actually, the noise is not
as serious as the hazard TO the
piping.
Water hammer i'm a plumbing
or heating system is due to the
sudden stopping of the flow of
water in the pipes. 1t is not UNI
like the effect of the sudden appli-
cation of brakes to an automobile
or train. The momentum of the
water, like the momentum of any
other moving object, continues
after the retarding action has been
applied

INCREASED APPLICATIONS

Recent liberalization of terms
Of the government lease, and
streamlined working procedures
established by the local office OF

version program, property owners
make application for consideration
of a government lease at the War
Housing Center, which determines
transportation and utility facili-

More Dwelling Units
Are Still Needed

In many areas a lack of ade-
quate dwelling units has seriously
handicapped the production of
vital war materials. Workers mi
grating TO production centers were
unable to find suitable housing
facilities for themselves and their
families. Construction of new
units has already relieved much
of the shortage in those areas.
