- Water carrying pipe from the surge tank to turbine blades or dam to surge tanks is called penstock.
- It tolerates the loads on both full load and no-load conditions.
- It is apparently like a pipe but made to bear heavy pressure conditions.
- Penstocks are installed in such a way that sufficient water depth always remains at the entrance of the penstock at the forebay or surge tank so that air should not enter into the penstock and reduce the efficiency of the turbine.
- A penstock is used as a conduit between dam (reservoir) and turbine in a hydro station.
