FORE WORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the drafi finalized
by the Hydraulic Gates and Valves Sectional Committee had been approved by the Water Resources Division
Council.
Slide gate, as the name implies, is that gate in which the operating member (gate leaf) slides on the seating
surfaces provided on the frame consisting of bodies with or without bonnets. These gates are generally installed in
the closed conduit and have sealing all around. Jet flow gate also falls in this category.
Use of slide gates as the control and guard or emergency gates in conduits and sluices for water head up to 100 m
is gaining popularity because of comparative simple construction and better hydraulic performance resulting
from narrow groove width. Jet flow gates are being used for heads up to 200 m. However, slide gates normally do
not close under their own weight, under condition of unbalanced head, that is, water flowing through conduit or
sluice, and have to be pushed down for closing. This factor dictates the location of hoist directly above the gate
and Iimits the use of slide gates.
It is advisable, specially for high head gates, to get model of the gate tested in the hydraulic laboratory to determine
the following for various operating requirements:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
. ,.
This standard was published in 1979. The first revision was taken up in 1986 in view of the experience gained
during the course of these years in use of this standard. Two more conditions were added in Annex C, that is, three
edges fixed and one (longer) edge tiee, and three edges fixed and one (shorter) edge free to cover the most
commonly occurring field conditions.
This standard is being brought out to incorporate changes and additional clauses in the light of experience gained
and the latest trends in design the worldover specially with reference to coacting width in case of panel construction,
jet flow gates, requirement of aeration, figures showing rubber seal arrangement, etc.
There is no ISO standard on the subject. Assistance has been drawn from ASTM D2 137 Standard test methods
for rubber property Brittleness point of flexible polymers and coated fabrics for the method of test for low
temperature brittleness.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex J.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2:1960 Rules for rounding ofinumerical values (revise~. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

Jet flow gates are used as regulating gates
either at discharge end or at any intermediate
point in a conduit. These can be usefhl for
small size outlets under high head (150200 m) installation.

discharging jet to contract and spring free of the slot in
the gate body. The advantage in jet flow gates is that
there is little or no pressure on the bonnet of gate. These
can be useful for small size outlets under high heads
(150-200 m) installation. The arrangement is shown in
Fig. 3.
5.3.2 Body

The material used for different components should be
as specified in Annex B.
7 UNIT STRESS
7.1 The permissible value of stresses in the structural
parts should be as specified in ArmexC.
7.2 The permissible -value of stresses in welded
connections should be the same as permitted for the
parent material.
8 LOADING
8.1 The gate shall be designed for hydrostatic and
hydrodynamic forces as determined from model
studies.
8.2 In case of gates located in conduitshluices the
minimum increase in head on account of sub
atmospheric pressure, downstream of gate, should be
2 m for medium and 5 m for high head gates.
,.,,,
5.3.3 Bonnet
The bonnet houses the gate leaf in open position. It has
flanges on the bottom for being bolted to the body and
on the top for the bonnet cover. The bonnet may either
be of cast steel or structural steel in welded
construction. It should be adequately ribbed to provide
proper anchorage with surrounding concrete. The ribs
so provided should have enough openings for allowing
good concreting behind the groove bodies. Guides are
fixed to the bonnet in continuity of the guides fixed on
the body for guiding the gates.

NOTES
1 YP stands for minimum guaranteed yield point stress. UTS stands for ultimate tensile strength. For materials which have no definite
yield point. The yield point may be taken at 0.2 percent proof stress.
2 When the members are subjected to direct compression/compression in bending, the //r ratio of members is to be considered and the
stresses correspondingly reduced in proportion given in Annex C and shall be in accordance with IS 800.
3 The term wet condition applies to skin plates and those components of gate which may have a sustained contact with water, for
example, horizontal girder and other components located on upstream side of the skhr plate. The term dry condition applies to all
components which generally do not have a sustained contact with water, for example, girders, stiffeners, etc., on downstream side of
skin plate, even though there may be likelihood of their wetting due to occasional spray of water. Stoplogs are stored above water leVel
and are only occasionally used. Hence, stresses given under dry and accessible conditions should be applied to them in accordance
with 9.1.8,
4 The term accessible applies to gates which are kept in easily accessible locations and can, therefore, be frequently inspected and
maintained, for example, gates and stoplogs which are stored above water level and are lowered only during operations. The term
inaccessible applies to gates which are kept below water level.and/or are not easily available for frequent inspection and maintenance.
For example, gates kept below water level or in the bonnet space even while in the raised position or gates which on account of their
frequent use are generally in water.
