Shock Alleviators from ShockGuard

Shock Alleviators from ShockGuard

Shocks are alleviated by shock alleviators because for example a Jumboflex from ShockGuard has an elastic capacitance that will allow the progressive deceleration of a liquid mass against increasing resistance, so providing an increase in the time available for stopping the flow, so that a shock will not occur.

When JumboFlexs are to be used as Alleviators for Shock they are pre-filled with air to 80% of the theoretical steady state line pressure so that as the head increases they can begin responding immediately.

Shock Alleviators are installed close to any valve that may slam closed, this ensures the maximum performance from a Jumboflex membrane.
