The time required to close a valve gradually is >2L/C.
In this case, no water hammering condition produced means the pipe will be safe against bursting.

The time required to close a valve suddenly,t <=2L/C.
In this case, water hammering condition produced means the pipe will not be safe from bursting.

Nice, Thanks @Subha prakash.

2L/C is water hammer case if time of closure is less than it pipe will brust so for gradual closing time of closure should be greater than 2L/C.

Please explain in detail, how to calculate the time?

wlv/gt(gradually closing).
wlkv/g(sudden closing).

Is right or wrong? Please tell me.

Time gradually T>2L%c.

Time suddenly T<2L%c.
