14th International Conference on Pressure Surges – Eindhoven, Netherlands 12th-14th April 2023

The Pressure Surges conference series has been running since 1972 and continues to bring together practical engineers and theoretical academics, young and old, inexperienced and specialist, from all over the world. The 14th conference will embrace both traditional and novel subjects. Everyone who owns, constructs, designs, analyses, researches, or manufactures pipe systems equipment needs to appreciate the possible consequences of pressure surge. This leading conference in the Pressure Surges field is a must-attend. The meeting will be held at the Technical University of Eindhoven. The link below can be visited for further details.
