About Ductile Cast Iron Sluice Valves
Our organization is engaged inManufacturingquality range ofCast Iron Pipes, Pipes Fitting and many more.These products are appreciated for their features of corrosion resistance, durability, reliability, accurate design and longer working life. Our products adhere to the quality norms of IS.Owing to such appreciable features, these products are used in textile industry, irrigation and sewage disposal etc.Precision Engineering and Robust ConstructionThese valves are engineered from premium-grade ductile cast iron, meeting stringent IS and BS standards for durability and reliability. The fusion bonded epoxy coating and PTFE gland packing ensure superior corrosion resistance, extending service life and enhancing performance in harsh water and sewage environments.
Flexible Operation and Seamless IntegrationAvailable with rising or non-rising spindles and a selection of manual, electric, or pneumatic actuation, these sluice valves fit varied operational needs. The standardized flange connections (IS:1538, Table E/F) and face-to-face dimensions provide seamless integration into new or existing pipelines with diameters from 50 mm up to 600 mm.
FAQs of DUCTILE CAST IRON SLUICE VALVES:
Q: How are ductile cast iron sluice valves operated?
A: Ductile cast iron sluice valves can be operated manually using a handwheel or cap, or automatically via electric or pneumatic actuators, depending on system requirements and user preference.
Q: What makes these valves suitable for potable water and wastewater applications?
A: Their construction from certified ductile cast iron, resilient rubber sealing (NBR/EPDM), and high-quality epoxy coating ensures zero leakage, hygiene, and long-term corrosion resistance, making them ideal for potable water, raw water, and sewage pipelines.
Q: Where are these sluice valves commonly installed?
A: They are typically used in water supply networks, irrigation systems, and wastewater treatment plants where precise regulation and isolation of pipeline sections are required.
Q: When should a rising spindle type be preferred over a non-rising spindle?
A: A rising spindle design is useful for visible open/close position indication and is preferred where space permits, while non-rising spindle valves are better suited for installations with height restrictions.
Q: What benefits does the fusion bonded epoxy coating provide?
A: This coating offers excellent resistance to corrosion, impact, and chemical damage, significantly prolonging valve lifespan and maintaining water quality, especially in harsh or contaminated environments.
Q: How is zero leakage (bubble tight seal) ensured by these valves?
A: The use of resilient seated wedges made from NBR or EPDM rubber guarantees bubble-tight sealing and zero leakage under pressure, meeting the highest performance standards for water pipelines.
