MEASURING CRIMP DIAMETER
GC16XD MINI CRIMPER & PUMP SAFETY & OPERATION MANUAL
WHEN USING 21 AND 22 DIES.
Using Gates “21/22” dial calipers (Product No 739-1320,
Part No 78217) measure halfway between ridges (Fig 1).
To be sure crimp diameter is being properly measured
mark a crimp flat. Beginning with the flat, count 9 flats
to get the diameter. Be sure caliper blades DO NOT touch
ridges (See Photo 3).
Measure halfway between the ends of crimped portion
of the furrule (Fig 2).
Should actual crimp diameter not be within
recommended crimp tolerance, check calibration
of the machine and recalibrate. If machine is
properly calibrated, you may need to make a slight
adjustment to the Dial Vernier Adjuster.
WHEN NOT USING 21 AND 22 DIES.
Using Gates STAINLESS STEEL DIGITAL CALIPER
(Product NO 7369-0322, Part NO 78241) which are
notched to clear ridges, measure healfway between
ridges (Sketch 1). Be sure caliper number stamps
(See Photo 3).
Measure halfway down he crimped portion of the
furrule (Sketch 2).
To obtain a smaller crimp diameter, change the Vernier
Adjuster to a smaller number. To get a larger crimp
diameter, change the Vernier Adjuster to a larger
number. Changing the adjuster readout by .05 will
change the crimp diameter .001”. Record the new
setting on your crimp chart for future reference.
DO NOT measure on top of part
number stamps.
