IS 3042:1965 is the Indian Standard (BIS) for single faced sluice gates (200 to 1200 mm size). This standard lays down the requirements for materials, design, manufacture, dimensions, and testing of single-faced cast iron sluice gates (200 mm to 1200 mm size) used for water supply, sewerage, and drainage systems.
