Introduction In municipal water transmission and high-head industrial applications, the sleeve valve (often referred to as an axial flow valve or energy dissipation valve) is a critical asset. Designed to handle massive pressure drops and control flow with precision, these valves are often the last line of defense against cavitation damage and system over-pressurization. However, […]

Introduction In municipal and industrial pumping systems, the selection of check valve technology is the primary defense against destructive hydraulic transients (water hammer) and reverse flow damage. Engineers are frequently faced with a divergent choice when specifying pump discharge control: specifying an active, electrically or pneumatically actuated solution (often synonymous with Rotork actuation on a […]
