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.
single faced sluice gates (200 to 1200 mm size)
Quick Reference Values
size range200 mm to 1200 mm
frame and door materialCast Iron conforming to IS 210
sealing face materialBronze conforming to IS 318
spindle materialStainless steel or high tensile brass
Practical Notes
Always specify whether the gate will be subjected to 'seating' or 'unseating' hydrostatic head, as this heavily influences the required wedge arrangement.
Ensure perfect alignment of the guide frames and spindle during installation to prevent jamming and premature wear of the bronze sealing faces.
For sewage applications, periodic operation and greasing of the spindle are mandatory to prevent operational failures.
