FOREWORD
In 1937 the Salt River Water Users' Association at Phoenix, Arhona,·
requested provision for tneasuremmt of discharge from the outlet works at
Bartlett Dam in tbe Verde River. These outlets, consisting of two 66-
inoh needle valves and three 6- by 7-foot 6•inoh slide gates, were cali•
brated by obtaining discharge data from hydraulic mo�ela. The rnults,
included in this report, were transferred to the prototype structure ac
cording to the laws of eydraulic similitude and the Association was fur
nished tables and diagrams showing the relation between head, disohe.rge,
and gate or valve opening,.
During the calibration of the model of one of the 66-inch needle
valves, pressure gradients through t'he pas.sages of the valve were obtained,
which furniehed another link in the study of the relation between the cavi
tating pressures and the de1truotion of metal in certain regions of pro
totype needle Talves which had required exoessi ve maintenance. -Pilot tests
on a 5-inoh needle .valve under heads up to 500 feet had demonstrat&d that
the oavitating pressures and the erosion or pitting could be eliminated by
changing the profile of the_ outlet passages. However, in changing the ' profile of the pa&sage, the discharge oapaoi ty had been reduced-. Further-
lnOre, the pressure-di,oharge data were not sufficiently complete to de
sign a speoifio valve.
With the deta.1 led press�re and dischlrge measurements on the model of
the Bartlett valve a_s a basis of comparison, a series of 16 test's was Dfl.de
using the information from the 5•inoh valveo A design for the needle valves
at Friant Dam was thus obtained in which the pressures would no longer
cause cavitation e.nd pitting and ·in which the discharge capaoi ties were com;
parable to the original design of the need�e valves o Those tests are de
scribed in detail in this report •
Concurrently a modifioation of the needle valve, known as the tube
valve, was s_tudied to obtain detailed pressure and discharge data •
• ..

- - -·- --- -�-
The designs of the various valves teated were prepared in the meohani- ·
cal seotion of the Bureau by B. H. Staats, engineer, under the supervision � of P.A. Kinzie and w. c. Beatty, 1enior engineers. The testing of the
models was performed by the personnel of the hydraulic laboratory.
f All laboratories of the Bureau of Reo�amation in Denver, Co lorado,,
are in the Materials, Testing, and Control Division. All design work is
under the 81.lperviaion of J. L. Savage, Chief Designing Engineer, and all
work of the Bureau is directed by s. o. Harper, Chief Engineer. The ao•
tivities of the Bureau are directed by John c. Page, Oommiaaioner •

Subject: !Iydra•.il ic model studieson needle and tube valves for Fri ant Dam and calibration of nee,ne valve and sluice outlets at Bartlett Damo
CW.PTER I - INTR0'1eCTION
1. Introduction. Three outlet works were COYistructed at Friant
Darn: (1) the rivur outlet, consisti.r"b of four 110-inch diemeter con
duits; (2) the T-'riant-Kern Canal outlet, also consisting o!' four 110-
inch diameter conduits; and ( 3) the '7riant-i,:arl9ra Ca;-,al outlet consist
in6 of two 91-inch diameter conduits. Dischar&e t)�roL<t,h these conduits
will ::ie rei::; .hted by valves ,;:ila.ced at their exits. Two 110- by 105-
inch needle valves o.nd two 110- by 102-inch tube valYes will be used at
the river 0,..1.tlet; two 110- by 105-inch needle valves and tw0 110- by
102=inch tube valves at the Friant-Kern Canal outlet; and two 91- by
87-inch needle valves at the Fri ant-Madera Canal outlet. The needle
valves w:i.11 be of the interior differential t1pe 9
hydraulically oper
ated (fi0ure 1), while the t�te valves will be the internal tube type,
mechanicall:"- operated (fi�ure 2). The needle valves will be ·ised for
rei:;ulatio,1 of s:-:i.a.11 Hschar6es beoa lSe t' e ,:ets issuinf:: from those
valves are s,,1ootl--1 at any o:ienit1t,, whi1e t11e jets from the tu'be valves
wi 11 ':le unsta-:.Jle at openi!\;. s less tl-ac1 �O :,er cent and will form consid
erable spr-ay. At openint_;s .;reater 'than 30 percent the jets of the
needle and tn1Je val "Jes will be n0arl:r identical. It is anticinated
that unier a maximum h'.:'ad of 248 feet a 11is char6e of 5,900 second-feet
can be obta·'_r,ed t 1·trou�h eaoh cf the needle valves at the river outlet
and a. disci:arb e, of 5,200 second-f'eet through eac11 of the tu>Je valves,,
These estimates were obta� necl from a coefficie;1t of d!..sct:a1t;e of Oo59
for the needle ,ra.l ·es and O .52 for the t ."be valves which was based upon
the area of t· e conduit ani t:1e e.,lergy h•:Jad :neasured one d:Le.rneter up

The outlet section of the needle valves for Friant Dam wil l be differ
ent from that of many needle va.lves us ed in previous installationse The
Fri ant need le valve will have a 59-degree need le and a 40-degree sharp-edged
no zzle , while the previous needle valves, such as those at Bartlett Dam,
had e. 42-degree needle and e. 36-degree 22-minute round-edged nozzleo Thi s f" new desi gn, developed with the aid of hydraulic model studies, was necessary
because valves in the fie ld were being damaged by pitting due to cavitation .
In his memo randum, "Report on inspection trip to study operation of
outlet works , Alcove. Dam, Kendrick Project , Wyoming," dated November 16,
1938, As sociate Engineer C . W . Thomas included, as figures 3, 4, and 6 of
his report, photographs o f one of the needle valves in the Alcove. outlet,
showing the extent· of pitting from cavitation on that valve ( figure 3 ) .
Photographs of damage by cavitation were also included in the report " Tests
to determine operating characteristics of tunnel-plug out let works at Boulder
Dam, Boulder Canyon Pro ject ," by the Board o f Engineers, dated F ebruary 3 ,
1939 . Later, fie ld reports were received from several pro jects describing
the perfo rmance of needle valve s designed by the Bureau of Reclamation o
Concerning cavitation, these reports were simi lar . When the valves were op
erated from 5 to 30 percent open , the effects of cavitation were severe, but
when operated 100 percent open, the effects of cavitation were negligible.
Pitting occurred on an annular section of the needle six to eight inches
wide, located immedie.tel;y downs.tre8Jll from the seat . Some pitting occurred
on the outlet section of the no z z le .
Causes o f thi s oe.vitation were studi ed originally on a 5-inoh mode l
of an Alcova Dam needle valve designed so that the outlet section could be
revised e asi ly. This model was te sted in the laboratory under heads up to
70 feet and at Boulder Dem under heads as large as 500 feet. The te sts
e.re describe d in detail in the report , " Hydraulic Model Studies for the
� sign o f Valves for Outlet Works," dated August 1941, by N . G. Noone.n, H.
M. Marti n , and D. J. Hebert, associate engineers . Cavitation occurred .. in the original design, and pitting of the valve resulted. Since cavi-
tation occurred in regions of extreme negative pre ssure, tnree principles
of design were recommended to · in su r e po.si ti ve pressure's throughout • t • ,. \ .,· � • �· • ... • .. ' -

the valve passage ,
" (l ) The angle between the needle and no z zle must not be divergent in th'9 .direction of the flow. If t he needle and the noz zl, pro files �re parallel, the pre s sures are maintained. However, a co nvergence from one to three degr ees will give an 1noreased factor o f safety.
( 2 ) The valve no z z le should ha ve no point o f inflection and should have a sharp edge. Thi s keeps the minimum section at the outlet edge of the valve noz z le , and allows free acces s o f air to the jet.
( 3) The sealing point of the needle must be on the oone portion, that is, the base diame ter o f the cone must be slightly larger t han t he outlet diameter o f the no z zle. "
*
The needle valves for Friant Dam were not designed directly from the
results o f those recommendations beoaus e the coefficient o f discharge was
l�•ered by the changes. Therefore, a serie s of 15 tests was made to study
more completely the pressure and disoharge oharaoteristics of needle
valve s to obtai n thro ugh a step-by-step approaoh the de sirable de sign.
The initial tests o f this series were mde on a 1 : 8 model o f a Bartlett
Dam 66-inoh needle valve which was the same desi gn a s those being damged
in t he field . These initial tests served two purpose s , first , to complete
an existing assignment invo lving the calibration o f the Bartlett Dam needle
valve and slide-gate outlets and secondly, to provide pressure-dis charge
measurements as a basis for subsequent tests on the Friant needle valve s .
Since needle valves were expensive, due to the intrica cy of the oper
ating me chanism, t ube valves were introduced. The tube valve differs from
the needle valve in that a cylindrical tube replaces the needle, resulting
in an appreciable saving o f material. The per formance of this valve de•
sign was also studied in th; tests on a 5-inch model at Bo ulder Dam where
it was fo und trat the jet was unstable at small o penings. Additi onal teats
were necessary to find the range o f regulation giving a stable jet, to make
sure that no cavitation o ccurred and to determine the coefficient of dis
charge .
2. Summary o f tests. The needle valve and the slide- gate outlets at
6
..
..
Bartlett Dam were first studied. A 1 : 8 model o f the 66-inoh needle va lves , .,.
a 1 1 15 mode l o f the three slide -gate o utlets , and a 1 : +0 model of a single
slide gate were calibrated to furnish discharge tabl es and diagrams for
use in the fi e ld . Pressure gradients were also obtai ned on the needle
valve model to serve as initial tests on the Fri ant Dam needle-valve studies.
Subatmospheric press ure s were o bserved in the 1 : 8 needl e-valve model
at the saim location and for the same openings that pitting by cavitation
was occur ring in similar proto type valves. This suggested that if a model
were d esigned with positive pressures, it wo uld be certain that no ca vita-
tion wo uld occur in the prototype . Therefore , the 1 : 8 Bartl ett model was *'
revised according to recommendations o btained from previous tests on the 5-
i noh need le valve as describ ed in section 1 . The angle between the needle
and the not zle converged 3 degrees, e.nd the no zzle exi t had a sharp edge .
Positive pre s sure s were obtained , but the discharge was reduced approxi -
�tely 15 percent .
Since the out let diameter and the pro fil e were variables in subsequent
te sts , the coeffici ent of discharge based on the outlet diameter could no
longer be used a s a basis of compa rison. It was decided to base the dis
chnrge coefficient o f needle val ves, and o ther val ve s , upon the area of
the intake co nduit and upon the energy head measured one diameter upstream
fro m the valve. The 1 : 8 Bartlett mo1el had an expanding entranoe seotion
not suitable for evaluation of the discharge coeffici ent. Losses in this
expanding s ection were also questioned. Therefo re , the earl y tests were
repeated with a co nstant rliameter conduit. The ooeff'i cient o f the original
Bartlett val ve, 0.51, wa s favo rable , while the co efficient of the revised
val ve , Oo 42, was to o l �w. Twelve additiona l test s were made on this r e
vised valv e to increase the co efficient a s much a s pos sible but still main
tain positive pres sures •
From the se te sts a valve ha ving a co efficient of 0.48 was selected
as a basis for the Friant design. This val v e was not similar to the pro
po sed Friant design because the intake diameter, in prototype, was 12 1 �1/2
inche s 'instead of 110 inches . Therefore , a. model of the proposed Fria.nt
7
•
\
valve was constructed to a s cale of 1 : 1 8 . 33 . Pre s sures on thi s 1 : 18 . 33
model we re , for a l l p ra.oti cal purposes , the same a s those on the sel ected
vqlve , but too discha rge coeffici ent , based on 110 inche s instead of
121°1/2 inches , was 0 . 59 . Howeve r , the actual di scharge through the two
valve s was propo rtionately the same , demonstrating that discharge through
the valve was independent of the intake dieme te r within reu ona ble limi ta.
ti one . It be came apparent that a coeffici ent of dischar ge based upon the
intake diameter coul d be mi sleading unless more info rmati on about the valves
were avai lable . To avo i d this , the nominal si ze of the valves i s des cribed
by incl urting both inlet and exit diameters, and i t i s believed that differ•
ent types of valves may be c ompared mo re fai rly i f their intalce and exit
dia meters are the s8.JD9 .
To expedi te the testing program on tube valves , a pre liminary test
w�s made by revising a model tube valve whi ch rad been p reviously tested
in studies of the Shasta Dam outlets. Although the valves were simi l ar ,
the resu lt s of the Shasta tests co uld not be appli e d to the Fri ant studies ,
fo r the Shasta valves are to b e placed in the conduit near the entrance ,
while the Fri e.nt valves are to be pl aced at the end of the outle t so as to
dischar ge free ly into the atmosphere . Thus di fferent probl ems ha d to be
consid ere d for each type of instal l ati on.
This preliminary test demonstrated that a tube valve may not be suit
able for regul ation at sxml l openings because of a di sintegrati on of the
jet and accompaeying spray . Thi s design we.a also unsati sfactory because
negative pr e s sures occurre d on the li p of the tube when the valve was le ss
than 50 percen t open.
After the pre li minary test the new mode l was bui l t to a design whi ch
was based on knowle dge gained from the preliminary test . The princi pal
dimensi ons of this new model were made simi lar to those of the Fri ant nee dle
val ves which had been previ ously tested . This new design prove d to be ade·
quate and was consi dere d as a final de sign for the Friant Dam outlete . As
was a lso demonstrate d in the pre liminary test , sati s factory regu la t ion at
sme l l openine; s , less than 30 percent , was not attaine d . However , a l l nega-
8
t....
tive pres sures were eliminated and the coefficient of dis ch.8.rge was 0. 51.
3. Conclusions. The pressure-di sc:t.rge measuren�nt on the - needle
valves confirroo d the conclusions of previous tests on the 5-inch needle
valve that to maintain positive pres sure s in the valve three considerations
are neces sary : ( 1) the angle between the needle and the noz zle must not
be diverging ; ( 2 ) the n o z zle should have a sharp-edged e xit i and ( 3 ) the
seating point of the needle must be on the oone portion • .,
To have a DBXimum coefficient of di scharge and still maintain posi
tive pres sures according to the criteria above, the exit diameter and the
needle travel should be as large as pos s ib le . Once the eJd. t diameter and
the needle travel are established by the size of the valve . the outlet
seoti on of the valve oontr ols the dis charge.
This outlet section is the short section of the no zzle upstream from
its exit forming the frustrum of a cone and the similar conical s ection
on the needle downstream from its seat. The discharge can be increased
by diverging this section, that is, by makixig the angle of the oonical
section of the needle greater than the angle of the conical section of the >(. noz zle. However, negative pres s ures will result. A parallel outlet sec-
tion - the same angle on the needle and the noz zle - wi 11 give the largest
di scherge c oefficient and still maintain positive pres sures. The tests
were insufficient to 9etermine the angle s of the needle and the noz z le
which would give the DJl.l.Ximum coefficient . On the Fri ant D&lil nee dle valve
the angle of the n ee dle was 39 degrees and the angle of the no zz le 40 de
grees . It was indicated, however, tlilt the coefficient would be larger
if these angles were about 45 degrees . Add itional needle -valve tests would
be required t o confirm this indication.
Since the outlet section of the valve controls both pressures e.nd
di scharge, it is believed that the b orty of the va lve upstream from the out
let sect ion can be designe d f rom a structural viewpoint, providing the area
of pas sage i s greater than the area of passage at the outlet section .
Frictional los ses , even in a crude vRlve, will be negligible .
Another feature that is unimportant l'\Ydraulically is the downstream

" • • • • This table is for a s ingle sluiceway operating but the model studies indioated that the flow through two or three sluiceways can be computed by mult iply ing the d ischarge from one ge.te by the number in operat ion. The water surface elevat ion in this table is that which wi ll be indicated on the cont inuous recording gage e.t the downstream end of the sluice w:ays •"
Soon after the 1 : 15 model was built , it was ant icipated that the gates
would be operated at other posit ions than wide open. The 1 : 15 model was
too small to accurately me asure the d ischArge of a single gate partially
open ; so the 1 : 10 model of a s ingle slu iceway was used. The rating
(table 2 ) was prepared from data obtaine d from the 1 : 10 model and sent to
the Construct ion Engineer by letter dated April 29 , 1939 , with instructi ons
as follows 1
" The d ischarge relationship is shown for each one-half foot between elevati on 1615.5 and 1670. 0 and for each one foot increment of gate openi�g. Discharges for intermed iate heads and gate opening s may be obtained by interpolat ion. The water eurface elevati on in this table is that indicated on the cont inuous recording gage at the downstree.zn end of the outlet for low heads and on the reservoir gage on the downstream abutment for high hee.ds e
In the studies of the 1 to 15 model of the three outlets and the 1 : 10 model of the single outlet, a region of unstable flow was found whi ch it will be well to avoid in the operati on of the
\ outlets. This reg ion is the incremen t of gate open ing between seven feet and full open . The behavi or of the stream in this re-gion is uncert a in for purposes of measureIMnt. Furthermore, the outlets s hould not be operated at partial gate open ings where dis-charge values are omi tted in the accompanying tables .
When a choice is feas ible , it w ill be more sat is factory for the purposes of flow measurements to operate at partial gate openings . This condition is due to the much more pos it ive control fore d by the gates thsn by the bell-mouth entrances . 1'hi s also avoids the unstable region where the change occurs between orif ice flow and open o ha.nne l flow •"
The 1 : 8 model of the ne edle valve outlet included the needle valve
and a suitable length of approach condu it to insure proper velocity d is
tri bution at t he valve and at the piezometers which measured the pres s ure
head 15 .. 3/16 inches upstream from the up stream flange of the valve (fig
ure 7 ) . From the data obtaine d on the mode l , a family of curves was de-

by e. letter de.ted March 2 3, 1 94 0 , with the fo llowing instructions :
" By in stalling e. recording pres sure gage on .the pi� zometer outlet s from the needle valve conduit s , a continuous record of the pres sure wi ll be obtained. The va lve opening oe.n ?e reoorded each time t he operator c rimges the setting. By integre.t ion, the to tal flow can be computed over a given per iod."
The determination of di soharge through nv:,asure1TSnt of presru re head
a short di stance ups tream from the valve may seem unorthodox to the opera
tor accustomed to obtaining di s charge through o utlets from the water sur
face elevation in the reservo ir. However, discharge curves ba sed upon the
water surface elevation would no t be accurate because friotiona l losses in
the conduit of the proto type can not be duplicated in the model with any
degree of preci s ion . Even if thi s were done, the results would be uncer
tain beQause the frict ion of the prototype conduit w ill change with time ,
due to rust accumulations, and growths IDflY appear gradually in the con

letter requesting means of measuring f low at Bartlett Dam. February 18 ,
1937 , and the f'i nal transmittal of the re.ting curves for needle valves

of the calibrati on of the model needle valve bei n g subject to postpone

totype stru ctures . The model pres sure gradi ents indi cated a region of
negative pressures on the needle imnediately bel ow the seat at valve open
ings up to 30 percent , and also on the c urved portion o f the no zzle down
stream from its seat. Reports on pr�J_o_type _st���t ures i_ndi�_!l��� �he.t_ the

velve �:w.:id.e __ open. Ce.vi tation also o ccurred on the c u rved portion o f --prototype noz zles downstream from the seat.
To e liminate negative pres sures, the needle and the nozzle of this
1 : 8 Bartlett model were revi�ed according to recommendations from previ ous
tests on the 5-inoh needle valve , described in the report , " Hydra ulic
Model Studies for the Design of Valves for Outl et Works ," ( Hyd . -9 8 ) by
N . G. Noonan, H. M. Martin , and D . J . Hebert , August 1941. The angle be
·tween the needle and the noz zl e was made to converge three degrees, a
sharp-edged exit was used, and the seat was on the cone portion of the
needle .
Pressure-dis charge meas ure.nients on this revi se d valve were compared · with the original Bartlett Dam model. The pre ss ure gradients of th9 revised
valve sh owed no negative preswres , but the d is charge was only 85 percent o f
that o f the original Bartlett Dam model. These two tests were oonsidered
a s the initial tests for the design of the Friant Dam needle valves and were
desi gnated as tests 1 and 2. Their results seemed t o define two limitations ,
for their pressure- discharge charaoteristios were opposi te . The original
1 : 8 Bartlett valve, test 1, had a favorable di scharge b ut developed nega
tive pressu res, while the valve of test 2 had positive pre ssures but the
di s ch arge was reduced. Tests on the Friant Dam needle valves ooul d start
by using a valve similar to the one used in test 2. Changes co uld be made
21
to t he noz z le and the needle so that pos itive pressures obtai ned in test
2 would be maintained but the discharge increased . 'fhese changes mi ght
be conti nued until a point was r eache d where a further increase of dis
charge would cause ne gative pressures. Such a valve would ostensi bly be
the i deal des i gn.
Although this general :roothod for conduct ing the pre li minary studi es
was clear, two fact ors ha d to be deci ded be fore the testing c ou l d pro ceed .
First , it was ne ces sary to desi gn a model of the Fri ant Dam ne edle valve
to include the desirable features of the needle valve use d in test 2 1 and
sec ond ly, i t was ne cessary to determine a testing pr ocedure and de ci de
upon a point at whi ch the area and the head would be measured for cyeter
mi ning the ooe ffi oient of dis charge .
7 . The mode l . S ince the ' Bartlett Dam nee dle-valve model was used
in the initial tests fo r the Fri a.nt Dam nee dle valve , it was sugge sted
that this mode l be adapte d fo r use in t he te sts whi ch were to fo l l cw ( fig.:.
ures 9 and 1 0 ) . Accordingly, a scale ratio of 1 to 12 . 3 was e stabli she d
for the Fri ant mode l by comparing t l:e equatorial di aneter o f the body o f
the 1 : 8 Bart lett mode l to that o f the tentative desi gn o f the Fri ant
val ves . Upstream from the a qua.tor of the adapted l to 12 . 3 Fri ent model ,
simi larity between this model and the tentative desi gn for the Friant Dam
needle valve s did not exist. For example, the 9-7/8-inch entrance dia
me te r of t he 1 to 1 2 . 3 model was e qui valent to an entrance diame ter of
121-1/2 inohes in the prototype , whi l e the actua l entrance diameter for
the Friant De.m needle valve s wi l l be 1 10 inche s. This is not considered
a seri ous departure in the tests s ince the primary functi on of the tests
was to study the e ffeot o f di fferent condi ti ons of t he nee dl e and the
noz zle , and it was contemplated that the de sign with the most favorable
pre s sure-dis charge oond i ti ons would be dupli cated l ater in a model having
the p roper appr oe.oh condi ti ons. This later mode l wa.s constructed to a
sea l� ratio of 1 to 18 . 33 , and duplicati on tests to check the e �fe ot of --- .. di s similar ent'rance c ondi ti ons be tween the l to 12 . 3 sca le model and the
1 to 18 . 33 model c oncluded the needle-valve test s .

In adapting the Bartlett Dam ��del needle valve to be used a s a

dum to Senior Engi neer W . C . Bee.t ty , questi oned the los e in the expann
ing entrance sec ti on which was pa.rt of the Bartle tt De.lll ne e dle -valve
model ( fi e;ure 7 ) . In a memorandum to Senior Engineer w. C . Beatty dated
MR rch 14 , 1 940 , J . E . Warnock s tate s th i s los s to be ne gli gi bl e :
" In my opini on too much emphas i s ha s be�n placen on th i s factor . To sati s fy a l l i ntere sted pe rson s , inclurli nt our selve s , the con dui t with the expandi ng secti on i s being replaced by a conste.nt-di eme ter conduit , and key te sts wi l l be repe ated to gi ve comparable data di rectly e.prli cable to the Fri ant probl em. "
After the conste.nt-diameter c ondui t was installe d and the key te st s
were made , i t was shown that the entrance los se s in the expanding en
trance s ecti on were negli gi blf' . The se te sts , reruns of the origi nel and
the revi s�d Bartlett mod e l va lve , were de s i gnated as te sts 1-R and 2-R .
The 1 to 12 . 3 mode l used in the preli minary tests thus consi sted of a con
stant-di aw�ter entrance condui t to whi ch was at tache d the body of th6
v� lve o f the ori gina l Bar tlett Dam model . A 3/8-inoh s leeve was constructF d
to lengthen thti! body of the valve to s tu dy the e ff'eot of increas ing the
travel of the nee d le . An e.tte.chment vrns also constructe d to measure the

8 . Te sting procedure and measure:roont of c oe ffi cient of d i s charge .
As the pre s su re gradient s and dis ch�rge coeffi cients were the important
obje ctive s , the te sting was ms.inly to d etennine t he se factor s for a com
plete range o f he ads and val ve openi ngs. The pres sure gradients were
measured by pie zometers located e long the critical sect ions of the needle
e.nd the noz zle . For each te s t , va lv� openi ngs of 5 , 20 , 30 , 50, 75 , and
100 pe rcent were studied . When the valve was 100 percent open , four runs
were made by setting he ads ran ging from 2 to 22 feet of wat�r . For al l
other valve openings 0nly two runs wen" mA de , " t het>ds o f approximately
25
8 a nd 22 feet o f water. The s teps in making ea.oh run were to measure the
valve opening and to set a discharge that gave the desired head. Thi s
discharge ·was then mea sured over a 90-degree V-no toh weir while pre s sures
on the needle a nd the no z zle were recorded.
In a.ddi tion to these data, jet pro !'i lee were measured with the valves

where A represents an area through which the water passes
and H the head. While the area A i s not b ased upon any fixed point in
a valve , it may be that of the vena contracta of tm jet , or the outlet di -
a.meter of the valve, or too diameter of the conduit to wh i ch the valve is
atta ohe d. Soma differences in o pinion existed as to wh ich po int wa s be st
suited for these studie s, but it wa s fina lly decided to ba se the area A
upon the diameter o f the conduit to whioh the valve was attached .
Questions also aro se a s to the best po int for measuring the head 9 H0
The best head to use would be the water surfaoe elevation o f the reservoir ,
but it wa s not co nvenient to do this in the model studies. Also , lo sses
would no t be the sa me in different conduit s ups tream from the valves . There
fo� the head wa s fi rst mea sured at the upstream flange o f the valve and
defined as the pres sure head plus the velooity head . Pressure gradients
indica ted a disturbance at t hi s point , and , to avoid th i s di sturba noe, the
head wa s final ly meas ured o ne diameter upstream from the up stream flange
o f t he valve. This definition excluded the use o f an expanding entrance ,
such a s was on the ori ginal model of the Bartlett Dam needle valv� ( figure
7 ) , but demanded the constant -di ameter approach co nduit which was placed
in the model to e liminate any possible lo s ses due to the expanding entrance
section .

The contour of the valve of test 12 was selected as that for the final
desi gn of the Friant De.m needle valve , and the 1 to 18 0 33 model of the
final design of the Friant needle valve was constructed to produ ce the
proper approa ch conditions. Pressures on thh valve were, for all pract i•
cal purposes, the same as those of the valve of test 12 , �d the coeffi-/ L ,.. · , (,, i- 1t � a � cient of di s charge was 0 . 584 . ,, ,- - . g., ,-. ' o-?:'.)v" J , 'l;

· rl .. r' r l- {·" :i Although the coefficient of the l to 1 8. 33 model is h.rger the.n the
coefficient of the l to 1 2 . 3 model, it was shown tha t the rela tive quan
tity of we.ter through both valves was the same . Figure 13 shows both
valves in prototype dimension s . The principal difference is the 121-1/2-
inch intake diameter for the valve of test 12 and the 1 10-inch inta ke dia
meter for the valve of test 15. If the energy AAad a t both o f these valves
were the s8.ID9 , it can be shown the. t the discharge Q • C A V2 g h · will be
the same for all praoti cal purposes, since the product C x A is the same
for both valves. This must be true since the control is at the exit end
of the valve and loss·es thr ough the valve are negli gible .
11. Measurement of jet profiles. Throughout the tests the shape and
the condition of the jets were observed and the jets of tests 2-R through
14 were profiled up to their vena contracta with the valves 100 percent
open ( table 3 ). Observations of je t fl •rere me.de in the previous tests of
the 5-inch valve and included a s photographs in the report , " Hydraulic
Model Studi es for the Design of Valves for Outlet Works •11 In those tests
and in tests 1-R to 15 , inclusive, it wa s observed that the jets were more
solid and had a better general appearance in valves having a. sharp-edged
nozzle exit than in valves he.ving a curved noz zle exi t. However, this
difference should not be important in a prototype outlet although the sharp
edged exit mi ght be preferable because it should cause less spray.
The jets of tests 2-R to 14 , inclusive , were profiled by the coordi-
32
no� ter shown in figure 10 . The p rocedure was to p la oe the depth gage at
a given posi t i on on the baff· whioh was pa rallel t o the axi s of the valve
and to move the point o f t he depth gage i nto the j et unti l it touche d a
so l i d wal l of wate r . ft white streak then appeared downstream from the
depth-gage point . Neer the valve exi t the water surface was clear so that
preci e e measur ements oould be obtained , but several i nche s downst ream a
sp ray began to form whi ch c oncealed the actual bounda ry of the je t , making
t he above proce<lure ne ce s sary . At about six inches d c,liTJ.s tree.m from t he
noz z l e exi t t he po si tion o f the jet boundary began to fluctua te , so no
fu rthe r JM 8.aure1rent a c ou l d be I!l8.de . Apparently the vena cont ra. eta of the
jets wa s about six inches from the noz z le exit . However , i t was i mpos s ible

C HAPI' ER IV - TUBE VALVE TESTS
15 . Tube valve models . Both the preliminary and the fina l tube
valve models had a sca le rat io of 1 : 18.33 whi ch was e stabli shed by using
a 6-inch appro ach conduit in the models as compared with the 110- inoh
proto type cond uits ( figure 1 7A ).
To have rea sonable simi li tude b etween the model and the p rototype ,
i t "A·e s expedient to measure the energy head one diameter up stream · from
the valve to eliminate the difference between the mode l and the prototype
losses in the approach conduit and to avoid pressure d isturbanoes oaused
by the valve. This was establi shed by needle -valve tests. It was also
neces sary to have a pro per velocit y di stri buti on o f flow approa ohing the
valve, this b ei ng obtained by using a straight brass pipe 14 feet long fo r
the approa ch o ondui t.
The model differed from the prototype in tha t the proto type condui t
was sloping whi le that o f the mo rtal was tested in a hori zontal positiono
By measuring the ene rg head near the valve , however , the data. obtained
in the se test s i s appli cable to any valve regardless o f the alinemen t or
leng th of i ts approa.oh condui t .
The testing pro cedure was to record the pressures and di s cha rge fo r
heads ranging from 4 to 30 feet ( 70 to 550 feet , pro totype) , and for valve
openings ranging from 15 to 100 percent. 'Ihe pre s sures thro ugh the valve
were obtai ned from piezometers lo ce.ted as shown in figure 17 A , and th8
di s charge was measured over a. V-notched weir .
1 6 . The p£eliminary test. Hydrauli c model studie s on needle and
42
tube valve s for the outlet s at Fri ant Dam and on tub e val ve s for out lets
at She. sta Dam were commence d at about the s ame t ime . Model studies on
• the tube valve s at Sha sta De.m a re de scribed in the repor t " Hydraulic
Studie s for the De sign of the Tube Valve s in the Outlets in Shasta Dam"
J by D . J . Hebert , A s s ociate Enei nee r . The tube valve s at Shasta and Friant
d8.lll8 co uld not be designe d from t he same model s tudie s because the Sha sta
valve s are to be placed in the c onduit near the entrance , whi l e the Friant
va lve s are to be p l ace d at the e xit end of the conduit . Neve rthe le s s , the
pre liminary te st o f the Friant tube valve was made with a Shasta model by
removing al l o f the conduit dOYmstree.m from the valve so t hat it would di s
cha rge freely into t h� atmo spre re . The te st w a s des cribe d a s te st 7 in the
report " Hydraulic Model Studies for the De sign of the Tube Valve s in the
Out lets i n Shasta. Da.o."
Thi s Shasta va lve ha d a curved noz zle exi t, s lightly dive rging , whi ch
onuse<l negati ve pre s sure s on the noz zle ne ar the exit. To e.void thi s oon
di tion for the Fri ant te sta , a sha rp-edged exit was used which suc oe s s ful ly
elimi nated the negative p re s sur e s on the noz zl e , but it reduced the e rl t
area 30 percent and ltJWere d the coe ffi ci ent o f d i scharge ( figure 1 7 ) .
A l though the sharp-edged e xit e limina ted ne gative pre s s ure s on the
noz z le , ne gative pre s sure s deve l�ped on the lip of the tube at openings
le s s than 50 pe rcent (pie z ome ter A ) . This l ip was shaped so a s to cause
a. d ive rgence i n the pa s s age between. the lip of the tube and the body of the
valve , and this c onditi on was assuJ1B d to be the cause o f the negati ve pre s
sure s .
Another functi on o f th e pre li minary test was to observe the f o rm o f
the jet a t various val ve open ings. A t wi de openings , a solid jet was
fo� d , but a s the valve c l o se d the d iameter of the jet became smaller
unt il , at approxi mate ly 15 per cent open or le s s , the jet di sintegrated and
forme d cons ide rable s pray . Such spray wou l d be unde sirable at most pro
totype structure s ; so the use of a tube va lve should be limi te d to l arger
val ve openings . T he form of the jet appeared to b ear a direct relation to
the pr e s sure s in side the tube , for when a so l ij je t was being e j ectAd the

tube was full of water under pres sure , As the valve clo sed , the pressure
inside the tube was reduced, and when the valve was 15 peroent open the
pressure became slightly negative so that the tube filled with a ir in
stead of water. the air apparent ly causing the jet to dis integrate •
17 . The final design . The Frl a.nt tube valves were des igned s imilar
to the adjacent needle valves iri the river and the Friant-Kern canal out
lets, s ince they were oonneoted to the s ame size conduits and operated under
the s � heads , To maintain po s itive pressures in the tube valve, a sharp
edged noz zle exit was used, but no d ivergence was permitted in the pas sage
between · the lip of the tube and the no zzle such as o ccur red in the prelimi
nary test . As a result . positive pre s sures were reco rded. in the valve
thro ugh the enti re range of heads a.nd valve o penings.
The eha re.cteri st ics o f t he jet were simi l ar to those of the preliminary
tube valves since the jet ca.used sp ray at smell valve openings, in thi s oase
openings of les s than 30 perosnt as compared to 15 percent in the preliminary
test. The spray cond ition was easier to observe on the final des ign because
the jet formed a mo re regular pattern w ith le ss di B integrat ion. At emall
valve ope nings the tube was :fi lled with air and the pressure inside was slightly
negative, as o bserved dur ing the preliminary test ; but i t was f\lrther ob served
that the jet formed a hollow oone with its base at the noz z le. At the apex "' of this c one, appro xi mately one diameter downstream , tpe impact of the water
was un�alanced, ca.u s ing the jet to f lutter and disintegrate into spray.
Although the operation of the tube valve under these cond itions was
not des irable at o pen ings of less than 30 percent, it was antic ipated that
such operation me.y be necessary in an emergenoy, in whi ch case the negati ve
pressure s inside the tube should be eliminated, It was proposed that they
be relieved by aeration, but th i s was found to be unnecessary. since air
bro ke through the walls of the cone-shaped part of the jet, reliev ing the

operated at several heads and openings. Sinoe no vibrations were apparent ,
a wei ��t was then adde r} t o the insi de of the tube to thrOR i t off balanc e ,
but no vibrations occurred. It was concluded that the. mo del tube valve
was fr�e from vibration, but it is impoz sib le from this test to state that

The coefficient o f d i s oha rge o f the tube valve of the final de s i gn
was 0 .51, whi ch does not co mpare too favorably wit h the coeffici ent o f the
needle valves which was 0 . 59 ( fi gure 17 B ) . In future desi gns o f t ube va l ve s •
the coefficient co uld be improved by increasing the exit diameter a sme.11
amount and by s hortening the lip of the tube, s uch revisions being checked
by mo del tests. The limit o f the latter revision would be to out off the
lip at i�s point of seat. This would have the same effect upon increasing
the travel of the tube and is substantiated from tests whioh showed that
the o oeffiolent of di scha.rge could be inoreased by increasing the travel o f
the needle . A po ssible d i sadvantage of increas ing the coefficient o f dis-
charge of the tube valve would be a reduction in the range of regulati on o
This 'l'Ja s ind icated from co mparing the prelimina ry and the final valve s , the
forroor having a l)wer ooeffi oient but a greater range of regulati on.
