By ensuring no air gets into the pipes, by tighteneing all joints correctly, and making sure that pipes that run horizontally are slightly inclined toward the upward flow of the liquid. About 2º to 3º off the horizontal is good.
Water hammering on any quick closing valves
Knocking or hammering on your water pipes is caused by the air chambers within the pipes, which are designed to cussion the pipes against the pressure of the water that flows through them, being depleted to some degree. This is easily fixed, provided that you go about it in the right way--you do not need to call a plumber.First of all, and I can't stress how important this is, you MUST turn off the main water valve in your house to prevent any further water from entering the pipes--do this first.Next, turn on every faucet (tap) and flush all of the toilets until no more water will come out. When you are sure that everything has been drained dry, turn OFF all of the faucets (taps).Now turn the main water valve back on slowly. What this does it to allow the air chambers to be replenished with the correct amount of air to prevent the shock from the water flowing under pressure.
Most water hammering is a result of a ballcock assembly in the toilets. Replace the with a fluid master fillvale from your local hardware store or call a plumber to do it for you. If this doesn't fix the problem then an expansion tank can be added to the system at the water heater.

They block the water.
Water hammering in pipes is caused by the sudden stoppage of water flow, which creates a shockwave that reverberates through the pipes. This can be prevented by installing air chambers, water hammer arrestors, or pressure-reducing valves to absorb the shock and regulate water pressure. Regular maintenance and ensuring proper pipe support can also help prevent water hammering.
It is due to water hammering effect.
An air chamber in a water line acts as a shock absorber to help prevent water hammer. Water hammer is the noisy banging sound that can occur when a water valve is suddenly closed, causing a pressure surge in the pipes. The air chamber provides a cushion of air that absorbs the shockwaves and reduces the stress on the pipes.
Hammering in a steam line can occur due to sudden changes in pressure or temperature within the system. This can lead to the formation of water droplets that are carried along with the steam flow, causing the banging noise commonly associated with steam hammering. Proper system design and maintenance can help prevent these issues.
Water hammering on any quick closing valves
its connected at the start of penstock to reduce the "water hammering effect" in it.
The diverter in the faucet is sticking. Instead of the water coming out of the neck of the faucet it is trying to go two places at the same time. This causes turbulence and the hammering.
Water hammering in pipes can be caused by sudden changes in water flow, such as when a valve is closed quickly. This can create pressure waves that lead to the banging sound. To solve this issue, installing water hammer arrestors, adjusting water pressure, or securing loose pipes can help mitigate the problem.
Go to one fixture at a time. Turn hot and cold water on and off quickly. Listen , or have someone listening, for noisy piping in or under walls, floor and ceiling. Can find water hammering problem and fix this way.
No, it does not react with air and water. it reacts with Hydraulic which is when the hammering of the waves breaks up the rock.
Water hammering in plumbing systems is typically caused by sudden changes in water flow, such as when a valve is closed quickly. This can create pressure surges that result in the banging noise. To solve this issue, installing water hammer arrestors, adjusting water pressure, or securing loose pipes can help mitigate the problem.
