Where Gate 50 sits
Gate 50 belongs to the Spleen centre, the centre of instinct, health and timing: the quiet in-the-moment knowing that keeps you safe. A gate is one of the 64 openings on the bodygraph; when a planet sat in its arc of the zodiac at your birth or in your Design period, the gate is active in your chart and colours how that centre shows up for you.
Its channels
With Gate 27 (Caring) it forms the Channel of Preservation, joining the Spleen and Sacral centres. When both gates are active in a chart, that channel is defined and both centres run consistently.
The I Ching root
Each Human Design gate maps to one of the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. Gate 50 corresponds to hexagram 50, The Caldron, which is where its keynote, Values, draws its theme.

How these positions are worked out
Gate positions follow the standard Human Design wheel: 64 gates of 5°37′30″ each, with Gate 41 starting at 2°00′ Aquarius, the same table the site's bodygraph calculator uses. The Sun's dates are drawn from its apparent position for the year shown, so they shift by up to a day between years.
