A water hammer arrester and a process for making a water hammer arrester. The arrester includes a includes a cylindrical tube that contains a sliding piston separating the interior into a gas portion and a liquid portion. The gas portion is enclosed by a cap. The liquid portion has a pipe fitting for connection to a liquid-carrying pipe. The process includes assembling the piston, cylinder, fitting, and cap together outside of a pressured chamber used to charge the gas portion. A pressure chamber receives the cap and open end of the cylinder, and tabs around the cap allow fluid flow into the gas portion of the cylinder. Increasing gas pressure in the pressure chamber simultaneously increases gas pressure inside the gas portion. At this raised pressure, an ultrasonic welding horn engages the cap and/or cylinder to weld the two together trapping the gas therein under pressure.
