intended only as a guide and it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the correct insert collapse is obtained.
USING BORE COLLAPSE MANDREL GAUGES
To check the insert bore collapse, insert the 'NC' (No‐Go) end of the mandrel gauge into the insert bore. The mandrel should stop half way down the
tail section. This indicates that the minium bore collapse has been reached (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Now insert the 'C' (Go) end of the mandrel gauge into the insert bore. The mandrel should fit all the way down the tail section. This indicates that the
maximum bore collapse has been reached (Figure 2).
Figure 2
If the bore collapse is incorrect using the specified crimp dimensions, then the crimp must be reduced in increments of 0.1mm to achive the required
bore collapse. If an assembly is fitted with step‐down inserts or 45°/90° elbows at each end, then a sample hose end should be crimped. The coupling
should be cut off as close as possible to the back edge of the ferrule and the bore collapse checked from the hose end of the insert.
USING BORE MEASURING INSTRUMENTS
Bore measuring instruments can be used for checking the correct insert collapse. For the small bore inserts, full ball or half ball bore gauges can be
used (Figure 3). These gauges are used in conjunction with a vernier caliper (Figure 4) or an external micrometer (Figure 5).
For large bore inserts two different types of instruments can be used, either a digital or dial bore gauge (Figure 6) or an internal caliper dial gauge
(Figure 7).
