BS1363-2 Gauges For Checking Dimensions Of Plugs Sockets Outlets
For Household Plug Test
Product Information:
These measuring gauges confirm to the standard of IEC 60884-1:2013
clause 9, BS1363-2: clause 13.1.1 figure 11, 12,13,14,16b. Which
are used for the dimensional measurement and verification of the
plug socket for household and similar use. They are the necessary
testing devices used in the laboratory and measurement test
department.
Features:
Gauges for checking dimensions of plugs, sockets, and outlets are
precision measurement tools used to verify the dimensional accuracy
and compliance of these electrical components. These gauges are
specifically designed to ensure that plugs, sockets, and outlets
meet the required specifications and standards. They help assess
factors such as pin spacing, pin diameter, socket depth, and
overall dimensions to ensure proper fit, functionality, and safety.
These gauges typically come in the form of templates or fixtures
that have cutouts, slots, or pins of specific dimensions. Here are
some common types of gauges used for checking the dimensions of
plugs, sockets, and outlets:
Pin Spacing Gauge: This gauge is used to measure the distance
between pins in plugs or sockets. It typically consists of a
template with slots or holes that correspond to the required pin
spacing. The gauge is aligned with the pins, and if they fit within
the designated slots, the spacing is considered within the
acceptable range.
Pin Diameter Gauge: This gauge is used to measure the diameter of
the pins in plugs or sockets. It typically consists of stepped pins
or cylindrical probes of different diameters. The pins are inserted
into the plug or socket, and the one that provides the best fit
indicates the correct pin diameter.
Socket Depth Gauge: This gauge is used to measure the depth of
sockets in outlets or receptacles. It typically consists of a
stepped probe or a depth measuring mechanism. The gauge is inserted
into the socket, and the depth is determined by the step or
measurement indicator that aligns with the surface of the outlet.
Overall Dimension Gauge: This gauge is used to measure the overall
dimensions of plugs, sockets, or outlets. It may include cutouts or
profiles that correspond to the required dimensions of the
component being measured. The gauge is placed against the plug,
socket, or outlet, and if the component fits within the designated
cutouts or profiles, it meets the required dimensions.
These gauges are essential tools in manufacturing, quality control,
and regulatory compliance processes for electrical components. They
ensure that plugs, sockets, and outlets are manufactured to the
specified dimensions, allowing for proper installation, secure
connections, and safe electrical operation.

Test Procedures and Operation:
Please refer to the relevant standard requirements of IEC
60884-1:2013 clause 9, BS1363-2: clause 13.1.1 figure 11,
12,13,14,16b.
Notice:
1. Please do not damage the appliance shape (such as scratching,
bending, etc.).
2. Prevented from dust and moisture environment, in order to avoid
the oxidation to affect the dimensional accuracy.
3. Add anti-rust oil regularly.
