compressed seals coincide with the state of gates.

time of closing in flow shall conform to the design requirements.
8.5.4 When the whole gate is in working position, light or other methods shall be adopted for
inspecting the compression degree of rubber seals, and no gaps or lucency are allowed; the
tightness of filling valve shall be inspected to make sure whether it meets the design
requirements. If the gate adopts upstream sealing, the inspection shall be implemented after the
supporting device contacts with track; if a pressure-actuated seal is used, pressure filling and
relief test shall be conducted to determine whether the working state of the seal meets design
requirements; if an eccentric-hinge compressed seal is adopted, the eccentric mechanism shall be
operated to verify if the working state of the seal meets the design requirements.
