Synopsis

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.
