Subject: Water Hammer Hazard
Dear CHAS Members:
A water hammer (lecture demonstration device) broke this month when
lowered, sending glass flying in my classroom. The water hammer is
designed to make a loud noise when properly lowered; however this
hazard, previously unknown to me, should require strict warnings for its
use, or the substitution of something safer.
