Risers are designed and located in such away that the volume of riser is sufficient to compensate for shrinkage and that it solidifies after the casting. A riser volume of approximately three times the shrinkage volume is usually
Considered adequate. The location of riser is selected to promote directional solidification. Invariably, more than one riser is required and the number and their locations depend upon the configuration of the desired casting.
