408-1729
The following procedure is recommended for inspecting the die closures:
1. Mate the dies until it is evident that they have bottomed. Hold the dies in this position.
2. Align the GO element with the crimping chamber. Push element straight into the crimping chamber
without using force. The GO element must pass completely through the crimping chamber as shown
in Figure 11.
3. Align the NO-GO element and try to insert it straight into the crimping chamber. The NO-GO element
may start entry but must not pass completely through as shown in Figure 11.
If the crimping chamber conforms to the gage inspection, the crimping die is considered dimensionally correct
and should be lubricated with a THIN coat of SAE 20 motor oil.
If the crimping chamber DOES NOT conform to the gage inspection not, the dies must be repaired before
returning them to service (see Section 7, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR).
For additional information concerning the use of a plug gage, refer to Instruction Sheet 408-7424.
