Abstract

There are certain trivial experimental findings which may not have a major significance but their execution is considered to be of such a nature as to complete the study in the specified area. Likewise in the field of hydro testing of valves and flow equipment, there is a basic requirement of operation of the same under influence of applied hydro pressure. This is required to determine the performance parameters like the thrust and the torque required to operate the equipment. While doing so, in addition to the qualitative requirements, an additional requirement of space has to be considered to ensure the surrounding area is not affected due to splashes of the testing fluid while under pressure. This paper shall consider such a case for hydro testing of a knife gate valve. At a given pressure, when the door or gate of the valve is initiated to open, there is an initial splash of testing fluid which ejects out of the orifice created due to the opening. The horizontal range of this splash shall be mathematically determined. An experimental finding shall then be presented to confirm the derived formulae. A conclusion shall be drawn thereafter dictating the percentage error and the employability of the derived formulae.
