Summary:Various hydraulic actions, such as pump power failure, can cause damage to pipelines by generating excessively high or low pressures. Th is can result in damage to property, costly repairs, service interruptions and injuries. A surge assessment is often the most effective approach to quantify potential surge pressures in a pipeline, as well as to identify the measures required to protect such a pipeline.
