ABM Series
These shock absorbers are designed to limit excessive pressure variations caused by pump shut-offs or valve closings. ASME code fabrication, these vessels come with a heavy-duty bladder, pressure gauge and gas purger (ABM series). It will eliminate any possible damage and destructive force that can cause wave shocks when the rate of flow changes abruptly. This water hammer may occur in a closed conduit flowing full when there is either a retardation or acceleration of the flow, such as with the change in opening of a valve in the line.
