Purpose:

To check the maximum dimensions of the screw thread and dimension T1 minimum of E17 caps on finished lamps.

Purpose:

To check the minimum outside (major) diameter of the screw thread, dimension d, of E12 caps on finished lamps.

Testing:

When the gauge is placed over the thread of the cap on a finished lamp, held cap uppermost, the centre contact shall not project beyond surface X.

Only the weight of the gauge itself shall be used in the test.

3. Gauge for testing contact-making of lamps fitted with caps E17, 7006-26D-1.

Purpose:
