The Wrong Implications
Most of these phrases imply that the shock, the surge, or the water hammer is addressed after it has been created.In fact most of those phrased apply to hydropneumatic devices that PREVENT a high level of shock, surge, or hammer, from occurring at all. The named devices are rarely designed to respond to a pressure incident in a liquid which must have an approximate typical velocity of 1,440 meters per second.

Famous quotes containing the words wrong and/or implications:
“I hear ... foreigners, who would boycott an employer if he hired a colored workman, complain of wrong and oppression, of low wages and long hours, clamoring for eight-hour systems ... ah, come with me, I feel like saying, I can show you workingmen’s wrong and workingmen’s toil which, could it speak, would send up a wail that might be heard from the Potomac to the Rio Grande; and should it unite and act, would shake this country from Carolina to California.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
