Orbinox RB General Description Manual

MODEL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Orbinox model RB Weir Gate is designed for
downward opening applications where a more accurate
flow control is required. The water flows over the top of the
slide permitting a constant upstream water elevation. The
RB model weir gate is available from sizes 150mm x
150mm up to 2000mm x 2000mm.
The sealing system is incorporated on 3 sides (both laterals
and bottom), resulting in a substantially watertight seal
without the need of wedges on the gate. This unique
design achieves bidirectional performance (seating and
unseating pressure conditions).
sealing system is available.
The leakage rate on the model RB is lower than the
maximum allowable recommended by DIN 19569-4
(class 5) and WW C-561 under normal conditions.
Orbinox also designs and manufactures the RB Weir Gate
in larger sizes, for more demanding service conditions
and maintains a leakage rate below the allowable
standard from WW . For more information please
contact an Orbinox representative.
CONSTRUCTION DESIGN
The RB Weir Gate is manufactured in general accordance
to DIN 19569. Other standards such as WW C561 and
BS 7775 also available.
The standard RB model is manufactured in stainless steel
which has a higher corrosion resistance in many
applications which results into a longer life cycle with little
or no maintenance. Other materials of construction are
available upon request, such as
stainless, etc.
