TP fabricated stainless steel penstocks are manufactured for a wide range of applications including
sewage treatment plants, water treatment plant, water diversion projects, drainage and irrigation,
flood control, spillway control for reservoirs and canals.
Tech Point penstock are constructed, machined and welded under stringent quality control system from
high quality stainless steel plates and structural steel members. They are made to variable sizes and
to suit all light and heavy duty applications. Penstock openings can be square, rectangular and round.
They are mounted to walls, pipes, channels, and available in conventional or weir (top overflow) design.
-
Light and easy to fix
Compared to the conventional cast iron penstocks which are heavy and bulky,
stainless steel penstocks are lighter, strong and can be easily transported
and installed.
-
Adjustment and replacement of seal
The adjustable wedges can be tightened when required to ensure minimum leakage
and hence reducing plant losses. The worn-out EDPM seal can be replaced easily,
within a short duration and without having a remove the penstocks from the
installed location.
-
Chemical Resistant
in highly corrosive medium, SS316 grade of penstocks shall be used. In other
applications, the more economical SS304 grade of penstocks are recommended.
-
Economical
Fabricated stainless steel penstocks can be easily custom-made to any sizes
to suit all applications. They are constructed from common structural stainless
steel members, and hence cheaper to procure.
-
Less Friction, Less Unseating Force
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW) for sliding and seating
surfaces reduce friction and the corresponding unseating force needed.
This enable smaller actuators to be used to operate the penstocks.
|
Hence, fabricated stainless steel penstocks are cheaper to procure easy to
install, economical to operate with less maintenance cost, and durable to last
for a long time.
Tech Point penstocks are available in rising and non-rising design.
They can be operated manually by handwheel, or automatically by pneumatic,
hydraulic or electric actuators.
