An sluice gate is operating on a pipe with maximum pressures due to an upstream pump of 50 psi and discharges to an open top tank of 10ft depth. On the other hand since the gate is to contol the flow to the tank and the tank level it may not be fully open sometimes and will see flow presure...
Hi there,
We are specifying 84" x 144" sluice gates in one of our projects and we expect very high torque and thrust required for the actuator to pull up the gate under a head of 40ft water. What type/brand of electric actuators do you suggest?
Thanks
I am going to specify Cast Iron butterfly valves (4"-84") on a SS316L piping. In order to avoid galvanic corrosion I have specified all valves to be rubber lined on interior surfaces and flange faces with Neoprene to a thickness of 1/8".
1)Are there any potential problems in rubber lining a...
