Inline penstock type: KLSA

Applications

KWT Penstocks are available in various forms and are used in surface, sewage and process water systems.

As well as the well-known KSA range (including the low pressure Penstock KSA-LD (3 MWC), the medium pressure Penstock KSA-MD (5 MWC) and the high pressure Penstock the KSA-HD (10 MWC)), KWT supply an inline penstock known as the KLSA. This inline penstock is as-standard on/off seated and has been produced to be used in a pipeline system. The operating pressure of a maximum of 10 MWC is guaranteed as the penstock is tested to 20 MWC. This penstock can be operated manually or with an actuator.The penstock is available as a P-model suitable for PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene) connection and as an F-model with a PN10 flange connection as standard.The KLSA is suitable for installation in aggressive media due to the material used. The HDPE and SS316L materials have a very high chemical resistance. The HDPE housing has been strengthened with SS316L
and is suitable to be used both above the surface and underground. The moving plate is made of SS316L.
