The formula to calculate the Vertical Gating (VG) is:
\[ VG = \frac{VC}{VT \cdot SACasting} \]
Vertical Gating is used to control the mould filling process. Volume of Casting is the volume of liquid metal undergoing casting. Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies or that is enclosed within a container. Surface Area Of Casting is the surface area of liquid metal undergoing casting.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ VG = \frac{1.25}{63 \cdot 1.5} \approx 0.0132275132275132 \]
The Vertical Gating is approximately 0.0132275132275132 s.
