How to Calculate and Solve for Rated Static Head (for Gating at Mould Parting) | Design of Gating System
Last Updated on March 31, 2024
The image above represents rated static head (for Gating at Mould Parting). To calculate rated static head for gating at mould parting, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Height of the Sprue from its Top to the Point of Metal Entry into the Mould Cavity (H) and Height of the Casting (C).
The formula to Calculate rated static head (for gating at mould parting)
The formula to calculate rated static head for gating at mould parting is:
Hs = H – C / 8
Where:
Hs = Rated Static Head (for gating at mould parting)
H = Height of the Sprue from its Top to the Point of Metal Entry into the Mould Cavity
C = Height of Casting
Let’s solve an example;
Find the rated static head (for gating at mould parting) when the height of the sprue from its top to the point of metal entry into the mould cavity is 11 and the height of casting is 19.
This implies that;
H = Height of the Sprue from its Top to the Point of Metal Entry into the Mould Cavity = 11
C = Height of Casting = 19
Hs = H – C / 8
So, Hs = 11 – 19 / 8
Hs = 11 – 2.375
Hs = 8.625
Therefore, the rated static head (for gating at mould parting) is 8.625 m.
Calculating the Height of the Sprue from its Top to the Point of Metal Entry into the Mould Cavity when the Rated Static Head (for gating at mould parting) and the Height of Casting are Given
H = Hs + C / 8
Where;
H = Height of the Sprue from its Top to the Point of Metal Entry into the Mould Cavity
Hs = Rated Static Head (for gating at mould parting)
C = Height of Casting
Let’s solve an example;
Find the height of the sprue from its top to the point of metal entry into the mould cavity when the rated static head is 22 and the height of casting is 8.
This implies that;
Hs = Rated Static Head (for gating at mould parting) = 22
C = Height of Casting = 8
H = Hs + C / 8
Then, H = 22 + 8 / 8
H = 22 + 1
H = 23
Therefore, the height of the sprue from its top to the point of metal entry into the mould cavity is 23 m.

Calculating the Height of Casting when the Rated Static Head (for gating at mould parting) and the Height of the Sprue from its Top to the Point of Metal Entry into the Mould Cavity are Given.
c = – (Hs – H) 8
Where;
C = Height of Casting
Hs = Rated Static Head (for gating at mould parting)
H = Height of the Sprue from its Top to the Point of Metal Entry into the Mould Cavity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the height of casting when the rated static head is 40 and the height of the sprue from its top of the point of metal entry into the mould cavity is 24.
This implies that;
Hs = Rated Static Head (for gating at mould parting) = 40
H = Height of the Sprue from its Top to the Point of Metal Entry into the Mould Cavity = 24
c = – (Hs – H) 8
So, c = – (40 – 24) 8
c = – (16) 8
c = – 128
Therefore, the height of casting is – 128 m.
