Hydrotechnical Construction Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Low-alloy heat-treated steel 14Kh2GMR can be used successfully for the manfacture of penstocks.

  2. 2.

    The use of high-strength steel greatly simplifies the solution of complex technical problems in the construction of high-strength penstocks and other hydraulic structures.
