Paineishyppymät, also known as pressure surges or water hammer, are sudden, transient increases in the pressure of a fluid within a pipe system.

The momentum of the moving fluid is suddenly arrested, creating a pressure wave that travels through the pipe.
The effects of pressure surges can range from minor annoyances to severe damage. They can cause audible
Mitigation strategies for pressure surges are crucial in many industrial and municipal water systems. These can
