What is Effective metal head?

Effective metal head is the actual head of metal available at the gate of mould cavity. It is the head which will get converted to velocity of molten metal available for filling the mould cavity. It is usually different for many different gating systems. For top gating system it is same as sprue height.

How to Calculate Effective Metal Head for Parting Gate?

Effective Metal Head for Parting Gate calculator uses Effective Metal Head For Parting Gate = Height of Sprue-(Height of Mould Cavity in Cope^2)/(2*Total Height of Mould Cavity) to calculate the Effective Metal Head For Parting Gate, Effective Metal Head for Parting Gate is the vertical distance between the surface of the molten metal in the pouring basin or sprue and the point where the metal enters the mold cavity through the parting line. Effective Metal Head For Parting Gate is denoted by H_p symbol.

How to calculate Effective Metal Head for Parting Gate using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Effective Metal Head for Parting Gate, enter Height of Sprue (h), Height of Mould Cavity in Cope (p) & Total Height of Mould Cavity (c) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Effective Metal Head for Parting Gate calculation can be explained with given input values -> 800 = 0.09-(0.03^2)/(2*0.045).

FAQ

What is Effective Metal Head for Parting Gate?
