STAINLESS STEEL SLUICE GATES

SERIES 20
FLOW CONTROL SLUICE GATES
Designed to be adapted to all applications Maximum leakage rate is less than half of the AWWA allowable Low-maintenance gates ***

Fontaines SERIES 20 Sluice Gate is a highly versatile flow control gate with various types of mountings. Adaptable to different applications, the Series 20 can be designed to withstand seating and unseating heads of up to 60 feet (18 m). When required, the SERIES 20 can be designed for higher water heads. The seal design keeps the allowable leakage rate to 0.05 U.S. gpm per foot (0.60 l/min per meter) of seating perimeter for seating head conditions. The unseating head leakage is 0.1 U.S. gpm (1.25 l/min per meter) per foot of perimeter up to 20 feet (6 m). Over 20 feet (6m)of unseating head, the leakage is corrected at a rate of 0.0025 U.S. gpm (0.03 l/min per meter) per foot of perimeter for each additional foot (meter) over 20 feet (6 m). The leakage rate is 50 % of the maximum allowable leakage recommended by AWWA. It is available in sizes from 6" (152 mm) up to 120" (3048 mm). For larger sizes, please contact a Fontaine representative. The design is suitable for square, rectangular or round applications.

Stainless Steel Construction

Because of its stainless steel construction, the SERIES 20 has high corrosion and erosion resistance, and can be operated for many years with a minimum maintenance. Stainless steel provides virtually limitless design flexibility. The result is a lighter weight and easier-to-install gate.

AWWA Standards
SERIES 20 Sluice Gates are built to meet or exceed AWWA C561 latest revision standards pertaining to design safety factors, stem and stem guides positioning, manual lifting devices, leakage, etc. As specified in the AWWA standard, all Fontaine SERIES 20 water gates are tested for leakage and operation before shipping.

Flange Back Frame

The stainless steel frame on the SERIES 20 is a flange back type (Detail 20-01) available in open or self-contained configurations, providing a solid one-piece gate. The rigidity provided by the flange back frame makes it easier to handle in transportation and installation with less risk of distortion. The seal bolting is completely separated from the flange anchoring, allowing the flange to be modified to better suit all particular applications. This feature also allows the gate to be completely factory assembled as well as tested for operation and leakage before being shipped. It also eliminates any on-site assembly and adjustments.

UHMWPE Seals (U.S. and Canadian Patents)

The side and top seals (Detail 20-02, 03) of the SERIES 20 are made of a self-lubricating ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), allowing no metal-to-metal contact. With a friction coefficient of 0.2, the seals make the gate easier to open even when not operated for a long period of time. The self-adjusting feature is obtained by a continuous compression cord that ensures a tight seal between the slide and the frame in both seating and unseating conditions. The continuous wedging action of the compression cord on the slide enables the SERIES 20 Sluice Gate to control flow by allowing water only through the open portion of the gate. The flush-bottom seal (Detail 20-04, 05), made of resilient neoprene, leaves the opening unobstructed when the slide is in the open position.

FLOW CONTROL SLUICE GATES

To evaluate and measure the life expectancy and performance of the Series 20 UHMWPE self-adjusting seals, a series of tests have been conducted on a 24" x 24"(610 mm x 610 mm) sluice gate. To simulate the worst conditions, the gate was installed at the exhaust of a sandblast fan. The maximum wear on the seal after 25, 000 cycles was 0.05 inches. The leakage after the equivalent of 68 years with one cycle per day was 0.05 U.S. gpm per foot (0.60 l/min per meter) of perimeter at an unseating head of 30 feet. The leakage rate was still less than half the allowable leakage rate per the AWWA C561 standard.

The following are the results of tests on several 24" x 24" (610 mm x 610 mm) Series 20 gates tested to meet the AWWA C561 leakage (0.2 U.S. gpm/ft. of perimeter) standard. The average leakage rate in unseating conditions is located at 0.028 U.S. gpm/ft per foot of perimeter. The gates can be adjusted, depending on their use, to a leakage as low as 0.01 U.S. gpm/ft. of perimeter. Each Series 20 gate is tested, and then a leakage test report is written. This report can be provided on request.
