In addition the presentation will cover the engineer ing details involved in sizing and positioning of air valves for water\, s ewer\, slurry/tailings and irrigation pipelines. There will be examples of some pipeline failures and successes relating to Ventomat air valves will be discussed.\nThe development of Ventomat air valve in South Africa invo lved an in depth study and testing in collaboration with the university. T his new scientific approach led to new findings as to the behaviour of air valves and associated waterhammer events. This led to the development of the engineering for this innovative device. Mention will be made of the sp ecialised materials that the Ventomat air valve is made which enables thes e devices to be used in arduous corrosive environments such as desalinatio n plants.\nTime will be spent discussing recent third party testing result s regarding air flows that were carried out at Michigan University.\n\nCon tact Details: Monika Sud\nTelephone: 0410 873393 \nAddress: Sydney\, Aust ralia.\n\n Alternative Contact: Geoffrey Stone\nTelephone: 61 2 8850 2313\ nAddress: Australia.
