The biggest valve Dervos has made ever.

This is a DN3750 butterfly valve Dervos made forBombay Municipal Corporation in 2017 which is a government project.

The project is special and challenging for its operation for such al arge size of DN3750.

As its torque is up to 989954N.m,it is better to be automatically actuated instead of manual operation. But as where it was going to serve is outreach of electrical power, manual operation is the only choice we have.

After accurate calculation of the torque, finally we came up with a solution that DN3750 would be operated by a combination of total four gearboxes, which reduced the input torqueinto incredible 117N.m.

What an amazing job we did!

Andfor this valve, many tests had been carried out, including but not limited to below:

We had done DP to the seat ring, UT to flanges, disc and stem, and RT to the welding. Besides, we had done strength tests to disc, adhesive tests to the painting, and IP68 Submergence Test by merging the gearboxes into 3-metre deep water by 72hours. And movement tests were also witnessed, it took about 9 hours from fully open to fully close position.

Eventually,The completed valve was made out as about 58 tons and 82.4 CBM.

Besides the remarkable work we did, we're so proud that its successful put-in-use was even reported by the local newspaper in Mumbai.
