FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards after the draft finalized by the
Hydraulic Gates and Valves Sectional Committee had been approved by the River Valley Division
Council.
The hoists of gates should be properly maintained through proper inspection to ensure smooth
operation of gate leaves at all times, and to keep good maintenance. This standard is being prepared
with a view to providing guidance for proper inspection, testing and maintenance of hydraulic hoists.
