Sandcasting is the oldest casting method and valuable however it has still some problems. This study discussed a mathematical approach in the gating system design. A gating system of a Connecting Road from cast iron was used as an object this study. This study measured fluid flow, a gating position in a mold, pouring, spur basin, pouring time, and riser. Solidification time affect volume and surface area, so in this study we adjusted the height of riser based of 1.2 up to 2 as riser diameter. Results of mathematic analysis show that pouring time was 3 sec, dimension of runner as 1.2 cm as High, 1.2 cm of Large, 2.06 of Pressure. The other dimensions were 2.9 cm of High spur, 5.5 cm of Pouring basin, 3.15 cm 2 of large of spur with 7.56 cm 3 as volume total, and weight total of gating system and riser 0.285 kg. The metal fluid was poured in a molding at 2.83 sec. Dimensions of gating were gotten the 0.42 cm2 from the first in gate and 0.63 cm2 for second in gate.
