Which of the followings is the formula for calculating the choke area (A)?(a) 2W/dtC√2gh(b) W/dtC√2gh(c) W²/dtC√2gh(d) 2W³/dtC√2ghI had been asked this question during an online exam.This interesting question is from Gating Design in chapter Pattern and Mould, Principles of Gating & Risering of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer»

The correct option is (b) W/dtC√2gh

Easiest explanation: Choke area (A) = W/dtC√2gh, It is the main control area which meters the metal FLOW into the mould cavity so that the mould is completely filled within the calculated pouring time. Its unit is mm².

Where, W = CASTING mass (KG), t = pouring time (second), d = mass density (kg/mm³),

 h = Sprue height (mm), G = Acceleration due to GRAVITY (mm/s²), C = Efficiency factor.
