Penstock Pipe
Special steel pipes that convey water under high pressure to the turbine in hydroelectric plants, resistant to extreme hydraulic loads and erosion. Manufactured to AWWA C200 either spiral-welded or plate-rolled into cylinders; diameter and wall thickness are determined by engineering calculation based on the project's flow rate and head. The product is custom-designed according to project requirements, operating conditions and relevant standards based on customer demand.
- Project-specific engineering and design
- Production compliant with relevant standards and customer specifications
- Quality control, testing and documentation
- After-sales technical support
About the Product
One of the most critical components of a hydroelectric plant; incorrect engineering of the penstock that delivers water to the turbine at high pressure and velocity carries serious safety risk. Manufactured with structural calculation and wall-thickness optimization based on head, flow rate and terrain profile.
