Guizhou Qianzhong Reservoir Gate Experimental Report
Project name: Guizhou Qianzhong Reservoir Gate Experimental Report
Brief introduction: Reservoir gates are vital to the safety and efficiency of hydraulic engineering projects. They regulate water flow, manage flood risks, and ensure the operational stability of entire water management systems. To maintain structural integrity and ensure long-term operational reliability, periodic performance evaluations of these critical components are essential.
As part of a key research initiative, Dynatronic supported the Guizhou Qianzhong Reservoir project by providing advanced testing equipment for a full-scale experimental analysis of the reservoir’s arc working gate (radial gate).
The primary objective of the test was to collect detailed time-averaged pressure and pulsating pressure data under various operational scenarios. Using Dynatronic’s high-precision data acquisition systems (DAQ), engineers were able to accurately monitor how the gate responds to dynamic hydraulic forces during different levels of opening and closing.
Key parameters measured included:
✅ Time-averaged pressure distribution across the gate surface
✅ Pulsating pressure characteristics under varying flow rates and gate positions
✅ Dynamic behavior of the structure in real-time operating conditions
By analyzing this comprehensive dataset, engineers gained crucial insights into:
The structural safety of the gate under real operational stresses
Potential areas of high pulsation that could lead to fatigue over time
The gate’s hydraulic performance across different water levels
Recommendations for optimizing gate operation for safety and efficiency
The results of this experiment now serve as a scientifically sound basis for adjusting gate operation strategies, improving maintenance planning, and enhancing the overall safety profile of the Qianzhong Reservoir infrastructure.
Dynatronic is proud to provide advanced measurement technologies that help ensure the safe and reliable operation of critical water management systems across China.
