Option B -  Five Ingates on a Side

In Option B, the gating system consists of five ingates feeding metal into each side of the mold cavity

This gating approach will --
  • provide smooth and even flow into all the thin wall sections without excessive turbulence.
  • Minimize the possibility of misruns and defects in the casting.
Option B is the preferred gating system design.
