Non-contact Test Gauge of BS 1363-2 Figure 14

Non-contact Test Gauge of BS 1363-2 Figure 14 is specifically developed to verify the structural and dimensional conformity of plugs and sockets with the BS 1363 standard, as defined in Figure 14 of BS 1363-2. It strictly complies with the standard’s requirements for dimensions, tolerances, material properties, hardness, and surface roughness, boasting a material hardness of over 50HRC and a low thermal expansion coefficient. These attributes ensure exceptional dimensional stability and reliability, enabling precise and consistent non-contact inspection for quality assurance purposes.

Specifications
• Compliance standard: BS 1363-2 Figure 14
• Material hardness: Over 50HRC
• Material thermal expansion coefficient: Low
• linear dimensions: Specified in millimetres
• Material options: Suitable conducting material; Insulating or conducting material
• Key attributes (dimensions, tolerances, material, surface roughness): Fully compliant with BS 1363 standard requirements
• Dimensional stability: Reliable and consistent due to low thermal expansion coefficient

Test Procedures
• Prepare the plug or socket sample for testing, ensuring it is free from damage, dust, or contaminants that may impact inspection accuracy.
• Inspect the test gauge to confirm its surface is clean, free from wear or deformation, and that all structural features meet the standard’s specifications.
• Position the sample and the gauge in accordance with the requirements of BS 1363-2 Figure 14, ensuring proper alignment for non-contact measurement.
• Conduct non-contact inspection to assess the sample’s structural design, verifying that critical features align with the gauge’s calibrated parameters.
• Measure and cross-verify the sample’s key dimensions against the gauge’s specified values to ensure adherence to tolerance limits.
• Record the test results comprehensively, indicating whether the sample meets the BS 1363 standard based on the non-contact inspection outcomes.

Applications
• Non-contact testing and inspection of plugs and sockets to confirm compliance with BS 1363 standards.
• Quality control processes in the electronics industry for plug-and-socket components.
• Compliance verification in the electrical appliance industry to ensure the safety and compatibility of plug-and-socket assemblies.
• R&D and production quality assurance for manufacturers producing plugs, sockets, and similar electrical connection products.
• Dimensional and structural conformity assessment in industries requiring adherence to BS 1363-2 Figure 14 specifications.
