Rage suna faruwa da droplets na ruwa. Gradually condensate strats getting build up along the length of pipe and forms solis slug. When this slug come across any obstruction like orifice, valve or a bend, then these obstruction will result is sudden halt of the solid slug unexpectedly. During this process the K.E energy of the solid slug changes to the pressure energy and the pipe network has to be cope with it.

Proper inclination should be provided in the steam lines in the direction of flow.
Steam trap installation at regular interval and that too at the lowest points. Installation of the steam trap at the lowest points ensure the removal of condensate from the system.

Pipe sagging results in formation of condensate in the piping network and may result in increasing the chances of water hammering. Thus steam pipes should be properly supported to avoid any sagging.
Standard start up procedures are required for cold start of the plant. Operators should be properly trained to take care of the openly of isolation valve slowly.
Proper sizing of the drain pockets, to ensure that the condensate should not jump or pass it easily. The purpose of drain packet should not be defeated to collect all the condensate and pass the same through the trap.
Type of reducers shall be eccentric instead of concentric reducers.
Water hammer occurs when water, accelerated by steam pressure or a low-pressure void, is suddenly stopped by impact on a valve or fitting, such as bend or tee, or on a pipe surface. Water velocities can be much higher than the normal steam velocity in the pipe, especially when the water hammer is occurring at startup.
When these velocities are destroyed by impact, the kinetic energy in the water is converted into pressure energy, and a pressure shock is applied to the obstruction. In mild cases, there is noise and perhaps movement of the pipe.
More severe cases lead to fracture of the pipe or fittings with almost explosive effect and consequent escape of live steam at the fracture. Fracturing of pipes or steam system components can propel fragments that can cause injury or loss of life on it.
