Master the practical science of hydraulic rams with this revised handbook, designed to help you build and fix ram systems efficiently.

This self-contained guide explains the principles and construction of hydraulic rams, a serviceable machine for lifting water from a low level to a higher supply point. It covers how moving water powers the ram, describes key components like the dash-valve, delivery valve, air-vessel, and drive-pipes, and shows how to select, install, and operate the system in real-world plumbing and pumping projects. The text is a practical reference for problems you’ll encounter on the job, from sizing pipes to understanding performance under varying conditions.

Learn the core principles of how hydraulic rams work and why long drive-pipes improve efficiency.
See how to calculate useful duty and interpret test results from different setups.
Find guidance on valves, joints, air-vessels, and routine maintenance to keep rams running.
Explore troubleshooting tips for common stoppages and variations in drive-water head.

Ideal for readers who work with plumbing, irrigation, or water supply systems, this edition compiles hands-on guidance with diagrams and updated illustrations to support practical learning and field use.
