Inspection requires closure and lockout of 6-foot by 13-foot gate and <br />draining of the penstock. <br /> <br />.. Inspection for interior damage to the Penstock: <br />G" If damaged, plans should be made for immediate repair. <br />Cavitation will "jump" downstream and will multiply it's damage <br />rapidly. <br />.. Manhole design is probably not adequate for flows above 2500 c.f.s. <br />Cavitation could occur downstream on pipe wall. <br />.. Bifurcations should be inspected for damage at upstream springline of <br />exiting pipe. The 3D-inch line is most susceptible, with the City of <br />Farmington line the next most susceptible. <br />.. Inspect for tie rod integrity by using dye penetrant testing according to <br />A.S.T.M. E165. <br />.. Coating damage (stripping) will occur at problem areas first. If no damage is <br />noted, the time of operation should be doubled at the high flow and a <br />reinspection performed. If an operating time of one month is reached <br />without any noticeable damage, the inspection should be performed on a <br />yearly basis. Always inspect the coating for damage resulting from <br />upstream failures such as concrete or trashrack failures. <br />
