Orbinox MU Manual

MODEL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Orbinox model MU is a 4 sided sealing penstock. The
gates are suitable for different types of applications with
a highly versatile flow control for waste water treatment
plants, irrigation, hydraulic works and hydro-electric
power plants.
From sizes 150 mm x 150 mm to 1200 mm x 1200 mm,
the MU model has a unique seal design that can achieve
minimal equal seating and unseating (bidirectional)
leakage rates. Sizes 1300 mm x 1300 mm up to 2000 mm
x 2000 mm are available in both uni-directional (only
suitable for seating water heads) and bi-directional
configurations. The maximum leakage rate is lower the
maximum allowable recommended by DIN 19569-4
(class 5) and AWWA C561 under normal conditions.
Orbinox also designs and manufactures the MU model
penstock in larger sizes, for more demanding service
conditions.
For more information please contact an Orbinox
representative.
CONSTRUCTION DESIGN
The MU penstock is manufactured in general accordance
to DIN 19569. Other standards such as AWWA C561 and
BS 7775 also available.
The standard MU 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 AISI 904L, Duplex
stainless, etc.
