DIN ISO 28238:2012-11

This standard specifies the terms and definitions 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 standard is to establish coherent terms for the different gating systems in professional terminology. The tool components and, in part, the examples for the assembly of the various gating systems are shown in figures. The figures are given as examples only and need not be considered in the design of the tools. Further terms and symbols related to components of compression and injection moulds and diecasting dies are contained in DIN ISO 12165. This standard contains the German translation of the International Standard ISO 28238:2010, which has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 29, Subcommittee SC 8 "Tools for Pressing and Moulding", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR (France). Working Committee NA 121-03-03 AA "Press-, Spritzgieß- und Druckgießwerkzeuge" ("Tools for moulding") at the Tools and Clamping Devices Standards Committee (FWS) at DIN is responsible for the adoption of the International Standard and the preparation of the German translation.
