scope:

This International Standard specifies the characteristics of components of gating systems used in injection moulds for the processing of thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics and elastomers. These are gating systems for solidifying sprues for externally heated gating systems, internally heated gating systems and cold runner gating systems.

The purpose of this International Standard is to establish coherent terms for the different gating systems in professional terminology.

NOTE 1 The components and, in part, the examples for the assembly of the various gating systems are shown in Figures 1 to 12. All figures are given as examples only and need not be considered in the design of the tools.

NOTE 2 For terms and symbols related to components of compression and injection moulds and diecasting dies, see ISO 12165.
