The 500 Series Stop Logs from Whipps, Inc. represent a time-tested solution for water containment in a variety of applications, including ponds, tanks, and channels. Historically, stop logs were crafted from squared timbers, a nod to their traditional design. However, sourcing wood in the necessary sizes and quality has become increasingly challenging. Additionally, the dimensional instability of wood complicates the provision of stop logs with predictable leakage characteristics.
Whipps, Inc. has modernized this classic design with our aluminum stop logs, which have been in continuous production since 1980. Our stop logs provide a reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional timber logs, addressing many of the issues associated with wood while offering superior performance. The use of aluminum ensures that our stop logs maintain dimensional stability, which is crucial for achieving consistent and predictable leakage rates.
Designed to accommodate a broad range of channel widths and water depths, the 500 Series Stop Logs guarantee a maximum leakage rate of only 0.05 gallons per minute per linear foot of wetted seal. This level of precision and performance ensures that your water control needs are met effectively, whether you’re managing water flow in a small pond or a large channel. The aluminum construction not only provides durability but also simplifies installation and removal, making it ideal for applications where these actions are infrequent.
At Whipps, Inc., customization is at the forefront of everything we do. We don’t just offer stop logs in various heights, thicknesses, and widths; we also provide specially designed stop log systems capable of containing water within a corner. By utilizing the same guideposts that enable our stop log assemblies to extend their reach, we’ve engineered these posts to securely hold stop logs at precise 90-degree angles. Our commitment to tailored designs ensures that we meet the specific requirements of even the most unique stop log applications, delivering solutions that are as versatile as they are reliable.
Our stop logs are engineered to deliver both affordability and effectiveness. By transitioning from traditional timber to aluminum, Whipps, Inc. has enhanced the performance and longevity of stop logs while maintaining a cost-effective solution for water flow control. This innovation allows for more reliable water containment, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.
In summary, the 500 Series Stop Logs from Whipps, Inc. offer a modern and efficient solution for water containment. With their aluminum construction, these stop logs overcome the limitations of traditional timber, providing a reliable, cost-effective, and low-maintenance alternative. Trust Whipps, Inc. for superior stop logs that ensure effective water control in a wide range of applications.
The stop log, guide frames/grooves, and lifter shall be manufactured by a company with 10 or more years of experience in successfully designing and manufacturing low leakage stop logs under similar conditions. All welds will be executed by welders with AWS certification.
The stop logs maximum allowable leakage shall be 0.05 gallons per minute per linear foot of the wetted perimeter, regardless of the direction of the unbalanced head.
In addition to the submittal information required by other sections of these specifications, the stop log manufacturer may be required to submit design calculations and supporting data for all logs. The supplementary information depicts stresses, loads, and deflection for critical parts under design head conditions.
Crafted from 5/16” thick aluminum (Alloy 6061-T6) extrusions. Maximum bending stress shall not exceed 7600 psi at the maximum head. Each stop log will be designed to be identical and stacked in any order. Resilient lip-type seals are attached along the sides and across the bottom with stainless steel fasteners for easy inspection and replacement. An engraved aluminum tag is welded to each log, providing information about installation location and size of the log.
Stop log grooves and frames are constructed of extruded aluminum (Alloy 6061-T6), with stainless steel designs available. The frame is comprised of two grooves and an invert member. Stainless steel fasteners are supplied for mounting to a wall or to an existing cannel. The invert member is designed to minimize flow interference along the bottom of the channel.
The lifter is constructed using aluminum or stainless steel, featuring UHMW guide bars and stainless steel fasteners. Capable of both installing and removing stop logs, the lifter easily latches and unlatches with a lanyard operated by personnel.
All aluminum in contact with concrete shall receive a heavy shop coat of bitumastic paint.
All aluminum components can be anodized in accordance with Aluminum Association Specification AA-C22-A41. The anodizing shall be 0.7 mm thick with a nickel acetate sealer.
We create custom solutions for almost any industry in need of industry standard water control equipment products
