FEATURES

Contoured Ribs
ixed cone valves are mostly used to
F regulate flow from dams, clear-water
reservoires, barrages or storages basins. It
is also a free discharge valve that is com-
monly used as a turbine bypass valve, re-
servoir drain or continuous discharge flow
control valve.
Discharges of large water flow rates under
high pressure conditions demands an effi-
cient conversion of energy. Any damages
due to cavitation and any risk to the struc-
ture due to vibrations and oscillations have Free discharge of continous flow
to be avoided. Fixed cone valve has a fixed shut off. When discharging into the atmos-
cone with contoured ribs that eliminate phere, the jet spreads out in a wide cone
the vibration problems associated with angle and breaks up into a fine spray. If
other fixed cone designs. Flow is controlled containment of the jet is desired, a hood
by movement of an external stainless steel can be installed which concertrates the
gate which has a drip tight metal to metal flow.
