BS 1363 Figure 2 Apparatus for Mechanical Strength Test on Resilient Covers

BS 1363 Figure 2 Apparatus for Mechanical Strength Test on Resilient Covers is specifically designed for conducting mechanical strength tests on resilient covers of plugs and sockets, ensuring compliance with the BS 1363 standard (“13 A plugs, socket-outlets, adaptors and connection units”). It features precise dimensional accuracy, stable performance, and reliable test results, making it an essential tool for quality inspection in relevant industries.

Specifications:
• Conforms to BS 1363 standard Figure 2 requirements
• Material hardness of over 50HRC
• Small thermal expansion coefficient for stable dimensions and tolerances
• Complies with standard requirements for gauge dimensions, tolerances, material, hardness, and surface roughness
• All specified dimensions are in millimetres
• Includes a hardwood block as a supporting component for the test

Test Procedures:
• Prepare the resilient cover specimen of the plug or socket to be tested, ensuring it is free from damage or defects.
• Position the specimen in the designated location of the test apparatus according to the BS 1363 standard guidelines.
• Install the hardwood block as specified in the apparatus configuration to provide proper support during the test.
• Apply the required mechanical force to the specimen in accordance with the test parameters outlined in the BS 1363 standard.
• Maintain the applied force for the specified duration to fully evaluate the mechanical strength of the resilient cover.
• Observe and record the performance of the specimen during and after the force application, checking for any deformation, cracking, or failure.
• Compare the test results against the BS 1363 standard criteria to determine if the specimen meets the mechanical strength requirements.

Applications:
• Quality inspection and compliance testing of resilient covers for 13 A plugs, socket-outlets, adaptors, and connection units.
• R&D activities in the electronics industry for optimizing the design and performance of plug and socket resilient covers.
• Production line quality control in electrical appliance manufacturing to ensure product consistency and compliance.
• Third-party testing and certification services for verifying adherence to BS 1363 standards.
• Quality assurance processes in plug and socket manufacturing and related similar industries.
