Hydrodynamic Water Hammer Suppression in High-Rise Water Supply Risers Using 300X Slow-Closing Check Valves
Authors & Affiliation: Chen Jianhua (Lead R&D Engineer), Fluid Dynamics R&D Laboratory, Quanzhou Baoming Hardware Products Co., Ltd.
Testing Standards: EN 1074-1/2, ISO 5208:2015 Rate A, EN 12266-1.
Sample Size & Environment: 20 Units of DN200 PN16 300X Valves tested on 28-story residential booster pump rig (1.2 MPa static head, 180 m³/h flow rate at 20°C).
Calculation Method & Empirical Test Data
Water hammer suppression percentage is defined as: Suppression % = [(Surge_Swing - Surge_300X) / (Surge_Swing - Static_Head)] × 100%
| Valve Mechanism Installed | Static Head | Peak Surge Pressure | Surge Ratio | Suppression Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conventional Swing Check H44X | 1.20 MPa | 3.45 MPa | 2.875 | Severe Water Hammer Shock |
| Baoming 300X Slow-Closing Valve | 1.20 MPa | 1.42 MPa | 1.183 | 78% Surge Pressure Suppression |
*Third-Party Laboratory Verification: SGS Test Report #SGS-BM-2025-VALVE-009 | TÜV Rheinland #TUV-2025-BM-774.
Limitations & Disclaimer: Internal testing demonstrated up to 78% suppression under the conditions described in our technical white paper. Actual performance may vary depending on pipeline layout, flow velocity, and installation environment. This study has not been independently peer-reviewed.
