Apparatus is used to generate and visualize water hammer in pipes and to demonstrate how a surge chamber works. The trainer contains the first pipe with a ball valve and a surge chamber and a second pipe section with a solenoid valve. Water hammer and surgency produced by first pipe using ball valve and in second pipe solenoid act for water hammer.
