Hydraulic Gates and Valves Sectional Committee, WRD 12

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)

Down pull and uplift force,

Air demand and its location,
Gate slot geometry,
Gate geometry Special bottom shape,
Vibration, and
Negative pressure and cavitation effects.

. ,.

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.

be supported directly over the bonnet cover or over a

separate set of girders at higher level.
5.2 Gate Leaf

5.2.3 The gate shall have a narrow sill surface at the

bottom with its upstream ordownstream face sloping
upwards at an approximate angle of 45 with the
horizontal to reduce down pull or uplift respectively,
especially when the gate is used for regulation.

5.2.1 The gate leaf is a rigid frame structure consisting

of a skin plate supported on stiffener and/or girder
which transmits the water load tlom the skin plate to
the vertical end girder. The skin plate may be upstream
and/or downstream, according to design requirements.
The gate leaf may be of cast steel or of structural steel
in welded construction. Provision shall be made for
connecting the gate position indicator and connections
for the hoist to the gate leaf. Connections for the hoist
shall be determined so that the gate shall remain truly
vertical in suspended condition.

5.2.4 For high head gates bottom sealing and sloping

surfaces of the gate should preferably be of stainless
steel for better resistance to cavitation damage. To
reinforce it against cavitational pitting that may occur,
the upstream edge of the gate leaf may be slightly
projected and rounded off suitably for bettertiydraulic
performance. An overlay of corrosion resistant steel
of thickness af not less than 3 mm on sloping
plate or complete corrosion resistant bottom plate
is recommended on the sloping plate as shown in
Fig. 1.

5.2.2 The seals which are screwed on the downstream

face of the gate leaf transmit the water load on the
gate leaf to the concrete through seal seats and
embedded downstream body. Sutlicient number of
screws should be provided to resist the frictional
forces during raising or lowering of gate under
maximum head of water. In addition shear plug to
resist about 10 percent of shear force should be
provided. Alternatively rubber seals of suitable size
may be fixed on sides and top with the help of seal
clamps and G.I. or stainless steel bolts}stainless steel
screw so as to ensure a positive water pressure
between the seal and the gate, and to bear tightly on
the seal seat to prevent leakage. For reducing the seal
friction fluorocarbon clad seal may be used. Edges of
seal clamp adjacent to seal bulb shall be rounded.
Rubber seal shall be provided at the bottom of the
gate leaf. Its projection shall be uniform and should
not be normally more than 3 mm. In the case of high

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 body which houses the gate leaf in closed position

may be in sub-assemblies with joints. The body maybe
of cast steel or structural steel in welded construction.
In the latter case, proper care shall be taken to prevent
warping during welding so that the tolerance of gaps
around the gate is strictly adhered to. These should be
adequately ribbed to provide proper anchorage with
the surrounding concrete. The ribs so provided should
have enough openings for allowing good concreting
behind the groove bodies. The downstream portion of
the body carries the bearing-cum-sealing plate in case
of metallic seals, which may be fixed-by welding or
screwing. It should be so designed that the maximum
bearing pressure to which the concrete is subjected
should not exceed the permissible stress specified in
IS 456. The adequacy of embedded bearing plateshraclc
sections shall be checked in bending and shear also
based.on theory of bending of infinite berun on elastic
foundation. Guides are also fixed to the body for
guiding the gate. Separate seal seats should be provided
for rubber seals on u/s or d/s depending upon location
of seals.

-6-MATERIALS
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.

8.3 Earthquake forces shall be consideredin accordance

with IS 1893.
8.4 Silt load, if applicable, shall also be considered.
9 STRUCTURAL DESIGN
9.1 Gate Leaf
9.LlThe skin plate and stiffeners should be designed
together in a composite manner.

5.3.4 Bonnet Cover

Bonnet cover is provided to seal the gate slot and
provide a support for the hoist, in case the hoist is
mounted directly over the bomet. It should be designed
for full hydrostatic pressure and also for the hoist
capacity if the hoist is directly mounted over it. It should
be in either one piece or more pieces according to the
requirement. Provision for venting of air should be
made in the bonnet cover.

9.1.2 The skin plate should be designed for the

following two conditions, unless more precise methods
are available:
a)
b)

In bending across the stiffeners or girder as

applicable, or

should be determined as follows:

5.4 Jet Flow Gate

Jet flow gates are used as regulating gates either at
discharge end or at.any intermediate point in a conduit.
They consist of a flat-bottomed leaf, a body and bonnet
and a bonnet cover on which the operating hoist is
mounted. The fluid way upstream of gate forms a nozzle
in the shape of the frustum of a 45 cone with upstream
diameter at least twenty percent greater than
downstream diameter or orifice diameter, causing, the

with the procedure given in 9.1.2(b), the
stresses as given in Annex D should be
used.

9.1.10 Horizontal and vertical stiffeners should be

designed as simply supported or continuous -beams,
depending upon the framing adopted for the gate. The
spacing between horizontal girders should preferably
be such that all the.girders carry ahnost equal loads.

9.1.4 In either of the cases specified in 9.1.2 while

designing the stiffener and girders the skin plate can
be considered to be coacting with them.
a)

9.1.11 The end vertical girders should be designed as

continuous beams with concentrated loads, coming
from horizontal girders, at points where they meet the
end vertical girders.

The coacting width of the skin plate in non

panel fabrication as per 9.1.2(a) shall be taken
by restricting to the least of the fo[lowing
values:

9.1.12 Deflection of Gate

1) 4ot+B,
where

a)

t = thickness of skin plate, and

b)

B = width of stiffener

b)

flange in
contact with the skin plate;
2) 0.11 span; and
3) Centre-to-centre of stiffeners or girders.
When skin plate coacts with girder as well as
stiffener to form a panel construction, width
of skin plate coacting w-ithhorizontal girder
or stiffener should be worked out as illustrated
in Annex E.

9.1.13 Whenever the gate is connected to the hoisting

mechanism, at points other thanthe end vertical girders,
care shall be taken to avoid stress concentration
particularly on the web of-top horizontal girder. The
hoisting force should preferably be dispersed through
suitable stiffeners to one or more horizontal girders
below the top one. The extra stresses arising due to
this arrangement may be combined with the other
stresses to ensure that permissible limits are not
.,, ,
exceeded.

9.1.5 The stresses so computed shall be combined in

accordance with formula:

0, = 0: +0; oxcry+3 Zxy=

9.1.14 Gate Slot Geometry

where
0 =

Maximum deflection of the gate under normal

conditions of loading should be limited to
1/2 000 of the span.
In case of bulkhead gates the maximum
deflection should be limited to 1/1 200 of the
span.

Width of slot should be kept as small as practicable.

The downstream edge of the gate slot should be offset
to reduce the cavitation hazard. In the absence of model
studies a downstream offset of about 0.075 to 0.10 of
the slot width with l/12 to 1/24 gradient downstream
of the gate slot and a rounded point of intersection is
recommended.

comb-ined stress,
sum of stresses along x axis,
sum of stresses along y axis, and
sum of shear stresses along x y plane.

NOTE The appropriate signs should be taken for rJxand

CJyin the above formula.

9.1.15 Aeration Requirement

9.1.6 The permissible value of mono-axial as weIl as

combined stresses should not be greater than those
specified in Annex C.

The location and sizing of air vent is critical for

minimizing cavitation and vibration problems
associated with regulating services of gated outlets.
Such installation, should be provided with adequate
air supply downstream of the gate. For determination
of air requirements and size of air vent IS 12804 may
be referred to.

9.1.7 Permissible value of stresses in the welds should

be the same as permitted for the parent material. For
site weld, efficiency should be considered 80 percent
of shop weld.
9.1.8 To take care of corrosion, the actual thickness
of skin plate to be provided should be at least 1.5 mm
more than the theoretical thickness computed, based
on the stresses given in Annex C. The thickness of the
skin plate should be not less than 8 mm, exclusive of
corrosion allowance when considered.

9.2 Seals
9.2.1 The seal should be fixed to the gate leaf by

means of countersunk screws made of corrosion

resisting steel. The hole in the seal should be counter
bored to accommodate the conical head of the screws.
When assembled, the heads of the screws should
remain 1.0 mm below the surface of the seal. The
screws used for fixing of seals to the gate leaf, should

not exceed the permissible stress specified in IS 456.

be designed to take up full shear likely to develop

between the seal and the gate leaf due to friction force
encountered between the seal and seal seat during
raising or lowering of gates under maximum head of
water. The screws should be adequately tightened to
a constant torque and locked by punch marks. A
compressed asbestos/rubber
gasket should b.e
provided between the seal and the Ieafiody to prevent
leakage. Shear plugs may be provided in addition, at
the discretion of the designer. The bottom seal should
be of wedge type and manufactured from rubber. For
reducing the friction fluorocarbon cladded seals may
be used. Suitable groove for grease should be provided
on the top and side seals as shown in Fig. 1 for metallic
sealing.

9.3.4 The body is either with flanged bolted joints both

at the top and bottom or in welded construction without
flanged joints, strictly maintaining tolerances of gaps
around the gate.

The surface of the gate leaf over which seals are

fixed, should be machined to a finish of 12.5 to 25 ~m
(see IS 3073).

9.2.2

9.4 Connectors

9.2.3 The surface finish of the sliding surface of metal

seals should be within the range of 1.6 to 6.3 pm (see

Is 3073).

In case provision for connectors is made, where two

gates are used in tandem, the design should be the same
as done for a single body.

Minimum threaded length equivalent to one and

a half times the diameter of the screws should be
screwed with the gate leaf to ensure against their
Iooseningunder vibrations during operations.

9.2.4

9.5 Bonnets
9.5.1 The bonnets, like bodies, are also embedded in

concrete, which is sufficiently reinforced to withstand

the hydrostatic pressure of water. The design and
thickness of bonnet and other ribbing should be similar
to those of bodies. Bonnets or parts of bonnets which
are not embedded should be designed for fill internal
water pressure.

Suitable chamfer should be provided at the

bottom of the gate leaflclamp plate to accommodate
the bottom wedge seal in compressed position.
9.2.5

For regulating gates, the designer at his

discretion, may make the.seals effective throughout the
range of travel of gates either by fixing the seals to the
embedded parts or by providing a liner plate above, in
continuation of the top seal seats for the entire width of
the gate and range of regulation.
9.2.6

9.5.2 The top flange of bonnet and flanges of bonnet

cover should be designed for hydraulic hoist load, in
addition to the full pressure, if the hydraulic hoist is
mounted on the bonnet cover. The flange joint shall be
provided with rubber O-ring gasket.

9.3 Body

9.5.3 The bonnet parts are either with flange bolted

joints both at top and bottom, or in welded construction
without flanged joints, maintaining strict tolerances for
gaps around the gate.

9.3.1 The body is embedded in concrete which should

be reinforced sufficiently to withstand the water
pressure. However, the gate body is made sut%ciently
rigid to prevent damage or distortion during
transportation
and installation
by providing
reinforcing ribs in longitudinal, as well as transverse
direction. The ribs should be provided with enough
opening for good concreting. The body shall be
checked to withstand full external pressure with a
permissible stress of 80 percent of yield point stress
of the material and should have sutllcient anchorage
with the concrete to withstand the external pressure.
In case sufficient anchorage length in concrete is not
available, the body should be designed to withstand
fidl external pressure on its own.

9.5.4 The entire plate of the downstream bonnet in

contact with the gate seal, when gate is in filly open
position, should be of stainless steel plate/stainless steel
clad plate.
9.5.5 The surface finish of the top flange of bonnet
and matching face of the bonnet cover should be within
the range of 12.5 pm to 25 pm (see IS 3073).

9.6 Bonnet cover should be designed to withstand the

full internal water pressure. In installations where hoist
is directly mounted over the bonnet cover, it should, in
addition, be designed to resist the full load of maximum
hoisting effort.

9.3.2 The downstream portion of the body carries the

bearing plate and should be so designed that maximum
7

on seal seats and also for avoiding seizing while
sliding under load.

9.7 Gland stuffing-box should be provided on bonnet

cover to prevent leakage of water around stem rod of
gate leaf passing through the bonnet cover. The gland
stuffing box should be in two pieces, namely, hoisting
or box proper and the cover gland. It should either be
of cast steel or fabricated with structural steel. It should
be designed for fill hydrostatic pressure. The material
for sealing should -be graphite impregnated asbestos
rope, or chevron or equivalent, preferably of square
cross-section. The housing should have bushing of nonferrous material, preferably phosphor bronze, to
facilitate the supporting of sealing rope and for free
passage of-stem rod. Cover of the box also should have
similar arrangements. The housing box should have
suitable arrangements for fixing the assembly to the
bonnet cover.
9.8 Seal Seats/Bearing

9.8.7 The sill beam may be provided with the corrosion

resistant steel flats, welded or screwed with corrosion
resistant steel screws. The surfaceof the sill beam may
be machined smooth, wherever required, and made
flush with the surrounding concrete.
9.9 Anchorage or Anchor Plates
Anchorages should be provided in the first stage
concrete, with suitable blockout openings, to hold the
embedded parts of the second stage concrete. The
-anchor bolts in the second stage concrete shall be with
double nuts and washers. Yor adjustment purposes
enlarged holes in the embedded parts of the second
stage concrete should be provided. Preferably the
anchor plates may be embedded with first stage
concrete and anchor bolts welded subsequently. The
minimum size (diameter) of anchor bolts should not be
less than 16 mm and the anchor plate thickness should
not be less than 8 mm. In order to limit the permissible
stress in shear in concrete suitably designed shear
reinforcement may be necessary. A typical arrangement
is given in Annex F.

-PJates/Sill Beam

9.8.1 The width of sealing surface should be so chosen

that the bearing pressure does not exceed the
permissible limit.

9.8.2 The bearing plate should be welded or fixed to

the downstream body by means of counter bore screws
made of corrosion resistant steel. The holes in the
bearing plate should be countersunk to accommodate
the conical.head of screw. When assembled, the head
of screws should remain 1.0 mmbelow the surface of
the seal seat. The weld or the screws used for fixing
the bearing plates should be designed to take up the
full shear likely to develop between the seal and the
bearing plate. These screws should be adequately
tightened and locked by punch marks. Suitable means
shall be provided for greasing the seal seats. It should
be ensured that the grease does not leak out of the
joints. A recommended method is the provision of
O-ring seals around the greasing holes to seal the joint
between the seal seat and the downstream part of the
body.

9.10 Guides and Guide Bars

Guides are fixed on the gate leaf and guide bars on-the
bodies and bonnets to guide the leaf properly
throughout its travel. The guides should be effective in
both directions, that is, longitudinal as well as
transverse. The recommended clearance between the
guide and guide bar is a maximum of 3 mm in each
direction on either side.
9.11 Guide Rollers and Guide Shoes
9.11.1 Gate guide rollers/shoes should be-provided on
the sides of the gates to limit the lateral motion of gate
to not more than 6 mm in either direction. The roller
should be flanged and travel on steel plates or rails
securely attached to anchor bolts. In case of rollers they
should be provided with bronze -bushing or selflubricating bushing turning on fixed steel pins. Suitable
arrangement for lubrication of these rollers should also
be provided. Where necessa~, counter guide rollers
should be provided to limit the transverse movement
of gates.

9.8.3 The surface finish of bodies to which seal seats

are fixed should be machined to a finish of 12.5to 25 ~m
(see IS 3073).
9.8.4 The surface finish of the bearing plate/side seal
seat in sliding contact with metal seals during gate
operation should be within the range of 1.6 to 6.3 ~m
(see IS.3073).
9.8.5 The surface finish of the bottom seal seat
should be within the range of 12.5 to 25 pm (see

9.11.2 A minimum of two guide rollers or shoes should

be provided on each side of the gate to resist the
transverse and lateral movement of the gate and at the
same time, to prevent gate from jamming. A clearance
of 3 to 6 mm between the guide rollers and guide
surface should be structurally adequate-to withstand
the load they are likely to be subjected to, depending
upon the type of installation, hoist and hydraulic

Is 3073).
9.8.6 For regulating and emergency gates, where
metal-to-metal seals are provided, same material
should not be used for seals and seal seats. The
material for the seal should be softer than the material
for seal seats so that the wearing is on seals and not

10.2 Arrangement for lubricating the sliding surface

of the gate seal and the bearing plate maybe provided
at the discretion of the designer.
11 EARTHQUAKE EFFECT

9.11.4 The guide roller/shoes should be designed for

the maximum load to which they may be subjected
during operation. A minimum load of 5 percent of the
total dead weight of the gate is recommended for the
design of each guide roller.

11.1 Where the project lies in a seismic zone earthquake

forces should, be considered in accordance with IS
1893, and the gate designed accordingly.
11.2 The allowable stresses as given in Annex C shall
be increased by 33.333 percent in case of earthquake
conditions subject to an upper limit of 85 percent of
the yield point. In case of nuts and bolts, increase in
stress shall -not be more than 25 percent of allowable
stress.

12 WAVE EFFECT
12.1 For very wide and big reservoirs, the effect of
wave height due to storms, etc, in causing increased
loading on the gate, should also be considered.
12.2 Increased stresses in various parts of the gate, as
described in 11.2 for earthquake forces, should be
allowed for the wave effect.

80 percent of upper limit of yield point. However, if
the gates are required to be designed for MWL
condition, normal stresses should be taken in
accordance with Annex C.
15 STRESS RELIEVING
Stress relieving is required depending on the thickness
of the plate or size of weld. For plates with thickness
more than 28 mm stress relieving should be done. The
stress relieving may be done according to the procedure
mentioned in IS 2825.
16 GROUTING

and Ice-Pressure

Provided local conditions do not impose other values,

ice-impact and ice-pressure should be taken into
account in such a way that the water pressure triangle
shall be replaced as given below:
.a)

14 MWL CONDITION

In waters with ice thickness greater than

300 mm, by an even surface pressure of
30000 N/mz up to 3 m depth; and
In waters with ice thickness upto 300 mm, by
an even surface of 20000 N/mzup to 2 m depth.

Provision for contact grouting, that is, grouting

between gate body and bonnet and surrounding
concrete should be made to ensure a perfect -bond
between them. Provision for suitably designed grout
hole arrangement should be made in the liner and
bonnet to avoid voids between various stages of
concreting and between gate bodylbonnet and
concrete. Provision should also be made for escape
of air during grouting. Such grout holes should be
plugged subsequently and ground flushed.

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.
