Abstract
The writer, while recently occupying the position of Civil and Hydraulic Engineer of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, had the good fortune to be enabled to make certain experiments and measurements of pulsations (water-hammer) in long pipe lines, and these are described in this paper. This information, it is believed, will prove a valuable addition to the present literature on the subject. The experiments should be of particular value because they were made on a line under actual operating conditions. They show what can be expected, practically, in the way of wave effects, and demonstrate that pulsations, whether due to gate opening or closing, can by no means be neglected in design, even for lines which are controlled by slowly moving gates.
