Definition
- 1Daño sufrido por una cañería y se origina debido a que el fluido es ligeramente elástico (aunque en diversas situaciones se puede considerar como un fluido no compresible). En consecuencia, cuando se cierra bruscamente una válvula o un grifo instalado en el extremo de una tubería de cierta longitud, las partículas de fluido que se han detenido son empujadas por las que vienen inmediatamente detrás y que siguen aún en movimiento. Esto origina una sobrepresión que se desplaza por la tubería a una velocidad que puede superar la velocidad del sonido en el fluido.
