Abstract
Measurements of pressure and flow in a number of pumped plastic sewer mains have been carried out in order to compare the actual observed transients with computations. Primarily the situation following pump run-down has been studied. The investigation covered pipelines with steadily rising length profiles as well as pipelines with one or more high points. The comparisons emphasize the effects of cavitation and air pockets.
