Engineered for Diverse ApplicationsCast Iron Sluice Valves are designed to handle water supply, sewage systems, irrigation, fire fighting, and industrial pipe networks. With a robust construction and wide-ranging sizes, they accommodate pressure classes up to PN 1.6 and ensure effective flow control in critical infrastructure environments.
Built for Reliability and LongevityThese valves feature corrosion-resistant coatings, leak-proof gaskets, and stainless steel stems for enhanced durability. The bolted bonnet and rubber/metal sealing ensure tight shut-off and minimal maintenance requirements, making them a dependable choice for demanding operating conditions.
Compliance and Operational FlexibilityPrecision-engineered to IS:14846, IS:780, and IS:1538/BS:10, Cast Iron Sluice Valves meet strict industry standards. Options for non-rising/rising stems and full bore/standard port sizes provide flexibility, while manual or gearbox controls facilitate simple or sophisticated operations as required.
FAQs of Cast Iron Sluice Valves:
Q: How does a Cast Iron Sluice Valve function in water supply and sewage applications?
A: Cast Iron Sluice Valves control the flow of water or sewage by raising or lowering a gate inside the valve body, providing reliable shut-off and flow modulation for various pipeline systems.
Q: What standards are Cast Iron Sluice Valves manufactured to meet?
A: These valves adhere to IS:14846 and IS:780 standards for design and face-to-face dimensions, and the flange drilling complies with IS:1538 or BS:10 Table D/E/F for universal installation compatibility.
Q: Where can Cast Iron Sluice Valves be installed?
A: They are suitable for installation in municipal water supply, irrigation channels, sewage pipelines, fire protection networks, and industrial process lines, making them highly versatile across sectors.
Q: What is the recommended process for operating these sluice valves?
A: Operation is manual or via a gearbox using a cast iron or mild steel handwheel. Simply rotate the handwheel to open or close the valve, ensuring controlled and precise flow regulation.
Q: When should a leak-proof Cast Iron Sluice Valve with robust construction be selected?
A: Choose these valves whenever a secure, corrosion-resistant shut-off is requiredparticularly for high-pressure, critical pipelines where durability, reliability, and minimal maintenance are essential.
Q: How does the gasketed body-cover joint benefit the valves performance?
A: The gasketed joint provides a tight, leak-proof seal between the valve body and cover, preventing fluid leakage and maintaining system integrity even under high hydraulic test pressures.
Q: What are the operational pressure and test pressure ratings for these valves?
A: These valves are rated for pressures up to PN 1.0, PN 1.6, or Class 125. Hydraulic test pressures are 21 Kg/cm for the body and 14 Kg/cm for the seat, assuring safety and reliability in service.
