<p>The present invention relates to a method of calibrating a crimp measuring gauge (1) of the type comprising a housing (7), a plurality of pivotable jaws (3) circumferentially located about a longitudinal axis (Y1), collet (9) enclosing the jaws and slidable relative thereto to pivot the jaws between open and closed positions, and a longitudinally orientated telescopic member (8) which is biassed into a fully extended position. The telescopic member is operatively coupled to a display means (6) for indicating the axial displacement of the telescopic member. The method comprises the steps of inserting a standardised body (10) of known shape and size into the gauge (1) to contact and axially displace the telescopic member (8) relative to the housing (7), sliding the collet (9) so as to pivot the jaws (3) to their closed position. The standardised body is then released such that the telescopic member urges the standardised body into contact with the jaws thereby fixedly locating the standardised body both radially and longitudinally relative to the gauge. The display means is then to thereby calibrate the gauge.</p> |
