This paper presents experimental research on standard laboratory equipment in the field of hydromechanics, and has developed a method for calculating overpressure that occurs in water supply networks. If the overpressure in the specified section is less than 1 atmospheric pressure, i.e. Patm=101.325 kPa, no adverse events will occur in the system and the water supply network will start up. If the pressures in the specified section are higher than Patm=101.325 kPa, adverse events in the water supply network may occur. The results of our research show that the pressure exerted by the flow of water passing through pipes of different diameters on the pipe walls will be different. To avoid accidents and water losses in the network, correct overpressure calculations must necessarily be made during the test inspection.
