Introduction In high-head hydraulic applications and critical pump control scenarios, the margin for error is effectively zero. A single cavitation event or a failure to dissipate energy correctly can lead to catastrophic structural damage, ruptured penstocks, or destroyed downstream assets. Engineers are often faced with a distinct choice between legacy robustness and modern control versatility. […]

1. INTRODUCTION In the hierarchy of valves utilized within municipal and industrial water infrastructure, the cone valve occupies a unique tier reserved for the most critical, high-consequence applications. Often referred to as rotary cone valves or conical plug valves, these devices are engineered to provide full-bore flow with negligible head loss while possessing the mechanical […]
