FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Hydraulic Gates and Valves Sectional Committee, had been approved by the River Valley
Division Council.
Different types of hydraulic gates and hoists, working on the same or different principles and
mechanism are presently in use for controlled release
water through spillways, sluices, intakes, regulators, ducts, tunnels, etc. Right selection of gat es and their hoisting arrangement
is very important to ensure safety of the structure and effective control. A designer has to
plan a gate and its hoisting arrangement together. Separate planning of gates or hoists,
sometimes results in unsatisfactory installation. Though the choice fC'r the gates and hoists
depends on several factors, primarily safety, ease in operation as well as maintenance and
economy are the governing requirements in the same order. The objective of this standard is
not to give concluding recommendations but to highlight different factors, which would largely
effect the choice of gates and hoists and would help in selection of the same.
