PLAIN TAPER GAUGES
Gauges for testing conical fittings with a 6% Luer taper for syringes, needles
and other medical equipment to ISO 594/1-1986
(BS EN 20594-1: 1994).
ISO 594/1-1986 specifies requirements
for conical fittings with a 6% Luer taper. Conical fittings are made of rigid
or semi-rigid materials.
There are two types of ring gauge specified. One for testing rigid fittings,
and one for testing semi-rigid fittings. When ordering ring gauges it is important
to indicate which type is required.
There is only one type of plug gauge, which is used to test fittings made
of all materials.
All gauges will be provided with limit steps as specified.

Gauges for testing anaesthetic and respiratory
equipment. Conical connectors to
ISO 5356-1 1996.
ISO 5356-1 1996 specifies basic dimensions
and gauging requirements for cones and sockets for use in breathing systems,
anaesthetic gas scavenging systems, and vaporizers.
The main body of the standard specifies dimensions and tolerances for plain
taper plug and ring gauges for testing connectors of 15mm size and 22mm size
made of materials other than metal.
Both sizes have a tapered gauging surface of 1:40 on diameter.
Annex B of this standard specifies dimensions and tolerances for plain taper
plug and ring gauges for testing connectors of 15mm, 19mm, 22mm, 23mm and
30mm sizes made of metal.
The 15mm, 19mm and 22mm sizes have a tapered gauging surface of 1:40 on diameter.
The 23mm size has a taper of 1:36 on diameter, and the 30mm size has a taper
of 1:20 on diameter.
All gauges will be provided with basic steps as specified, but will not have
optional steps to check mating gauges unless specifically ordered.
