ANSI SCTE 14 pdf free download.Test Method for Hex Crimp Tool Verification/Calibration.
1.2. Scope
To determine and verify the actual crimp dimension of hex crimp tools. Provide a calibration technique for adjusting hex crimp tools.
1.3. Benefits
Crimp tools can go out of adjustment with use, potentially resulting in performance impairments such as low cable retention, shielding degradation. poor grounding and generation of unwanted intermodulation signals.
Properly adjusted tools will ensure connector/cable junction performance in accordance with connector manufacturer’s published specifications.
1.4. Intended Audience
Installers, maintenance technicians and field supervisors

5. Equipment Machinist’s outside micrometer having a flat anvil and flat spindle, calibrated to read directly to at least 0.005 inch (0.127 mm), with each division of a width that facilitates estimation of each measurement to 0.0005 inch (0.0127 mm). As an alternate use digital calipers calibrated to read directly to at least 0.0005 inch (0.0127 mm). 6. Verification Of Hex Crimp Size 1. Crimp an empty F-fitting (no cable) of the appropriate size in the front-most hex cavity. 2. Using a micrometer or digital caliper, measure and record the dimensions across each of the three sets of hex flats.
No single measurement across hex flats should deviate more than ± 0.005 inch (± 0.127 mm) of the published hex size.
3. Average the three measurements recorded in the above step.
The average hex crimp measurement should be within ± 0.003 inch (0.076 mm) of the published hex size.
Repeat procedures above for each hex cavity.
If discrepant measurements are obtained, proceed to section 7, Adjustment Method.
7. Crimp Tool Adjustment Method
If crimp tool is adjustable, adjust the tool cam adjustment mechanism per the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Adjustments should he made one notch at a time so that the tool is not over-adjusted or damaged.
Secure the cam keeper, crimp an F-fitting (no cable) and measure the flats as described in section 6.
Continue the adjusting process until the correct hex specilication is measured.
If correct hex measurements cannot he obtained by adjustment, the crimp tool must he rebuilt or replaced.
