SUS Water Hammer Arrester (adapter, flange)
The SUS Water Hammer Arrester is a device specifically designed to absorb and mitigate water hammer (hydraulic shock) in piping systems caused by sudden valve closure, pump start/stop, or rapid changes in flow velocity. Unlike conventional models, this arrester is manufactured entirely from stainless steel (SUS), ensuring superior corrosion resistance, durability, and hygienic performance for long-term use in demanding environments.
1. Key Features
Full Stainless Steel Construction (SUS304 / SUS316 optional)
Provides exceptional resistance against corrosion, oxidation, and chemical attack, making it ideal for aggressive or sanitary environments.
Hydraulic Shock Absorption
Internal diaphragm or piston mechanism absorbs sudden pressure surges, protecting pipes, pumps, and valves.
Extended Service Life
Stainless steel housing ensures long-term durability and minimizes maintenance requirements compared to carbon steel alternatives.
Hygienic and Clean Design
Smooth internal surface prevents scale buildup, suitable for potable water, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.
Compact Installation
Space-saving design allows installation in confined piping layouts without compromising performance.
2. Technical Advantages of SUS Material
Corrosion Resistance: Maintains integrity even in high-moisture, saline, or chemically aggressive environments.
Structural Strength: Withstands repeated pressure surges without material fatigue.
Sanitary Properties: Complies with hygiene requirements for clean water, process water, and industrial liquids.
Versatility: Applicable across HVAC, industrial, and specialized piping systems requiring enhanced protection.
3. Applications
Building Services: Cold and hot water supply, fire-fighting piping systems
Industrial Plants: Chemical, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage process lines
HVAC Systems: Chilled water and condenser water piping
Special Facilities: Semiconductor plants, clean rooms, and environments where contamination prevention is critical
4. Performance & Benefits
Prevents damage to piping systems caused by hydraulic shock
Reduces noise generated by sudden water hammer events
Enhances operational safety and reliability of pumps, valves, and fittings
Provides long-term, maintenance-friendly performance through SUS construction
