🔍 Key Concepts

• Water hammer in steam lines (what causes it and why it is dangerous) • Proper start‑up procedure for steam lines with drains and warming through • Role of drain valves and the importance of valve opening speed (slow vs fast)

💭 Think About

• What happens inside the pipe when you have slugs of condensate and you open a steam valve too quickly? Think about pressure surges and mechanical shock. • In an abnormal condition (water hammer just started), is your FIRST priority to keep heating the line, or to remove the cause of the hammer? • Compare which choices focus on getting rid of condensate safely versus those that might make the hammer worse.

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option removes condensate before you continue to admit full steam pressure? • Which option avoids suddenly changing flow conditions (no rapid opening or big lineup changes while hammer is occurring)? • Which procedure most closely matches standard practice: drain/vent low points, warm through slowly, then bring the line to full pressure.

Question 1 of 20

If water hammer develops while opening the valve in a steam line, which of the following actions should be taken?

Shut the steam valve at once, open the drain valve until all moisture is drained, shut the drain line valve, and slowly open the steam valve again.

Continue to fully open the steam valve and partially open the drain line valve until all moisture is drained and then shut the drain line valve.

Stop opening the steam valve, open the drain line valve, resume opening the steam valve slowly, and shut the drain line valve after the steam valve is open fully.

Increase the speed of opening the steam valve to rapidly heat the line to stop the water hammer.
