Crimp Tool Calibration

Just another way HITEK makes your life easier!
HOW TO ARRANGE THE SERVICE Please provide us via the post 3 samples of wire approx. 6-12 inches long with a crimp on one end. Once the tests have been performed we post the certificates and results to you. If a test fails we immediately fax you a notice so that you can remove the unit under suspicion from use. Use our free pull & voltage drop test calculator SOLDERLESS CONNECTIONS TO BS 60352-2 MECHANICAL TEST & TENSILE STRENGTH (PULL TEST) A pull test in accordance with BS 60352-2. This is not a destructive test, but a pulling force in accordance with figure 5 of the above specification. The force is applied and the crimp joint should withstand this force without degradation to the joint. The amount of pull force applied (Newton's) is dependant upon the cross sectional area of the conductor, and, at this time, HITEK Ltd have the capability to undertake conductor sizes of 10 millimetres squared for open and pre-insulated crimp barrels and 8 millimetres squared for closed crimp barrels. ELECTRICAL TEST, CONTACT RESISTANCE A contact resistance test is performed to BS 60352-2. This is carried out in accordance the above specification. The contact resistance is calculated by passing a known current through the conductor and crimped joint and measuring the voltage drop along set points of the conductor and crimped joint thus establishing the resistance of the said conductor and contact resistance of the crimped joint. The applied current is again determined, as with the pull test above, by the cross sectional area of the conductor.
