Penstock
Penstocks have many applications in the arrest and control of liquid flow. They are used on Waterways, Power plants, Industrial effluent plants, hydro power, Drainage and Flood control as well as being used in large numbers on water, waste water and sewage treatment plants.
Penstocks, unlike valves, are normally fitted into or onto the civil structure formwork either in channels or over an aperture in a wall. The channels and apertures are sized to accept a range of flow situations and the penstocks are required to suit. This requirement alone dictates that they are a bespoke product.
Application:
- SPG series panels are available to reduce or regulate flow in the following units:
- Drinking water and sewage treatment plant
- Pumping stations
- Irrigation canals
- Storage tanks
- Drainage
- All free flow streams
Main features:
- Square openings
- Sealing from 4 sides (optional 2 sides): The leakage current is less than 0.02 liters per second per linear distance of each connection.
- The flow capacity in m3 / sec is calculated for the fully submerged panel, taking into account the pressure drop ΔH, as follows:
(0.7 × A (m2) × V2gΔH (mWC)
