Conical Connector Test Equipment Product Overview

The ISO 5356-1 conical connector test equipment provides a controlled method for checking the dimensional conformity of cones and sockets used in anaesthetic and respiratory equipment.

During testing, the connector is engaged with an appropriate plug or ring gauge under a defined axial force. The connector or gauge is then rotated through the required angle while the force is maintained. Compliance is assessed by checking whether the leading edge lies between the minimum and maximum diameter steps of the gauge.

In routine laboratory use, the ISO 5356-1 conical connector test equipment functions as a dedicated anaesthetic and respiratory equipment conical connector tester, helping reduce operator-dependent variation in production quality control, product development and third-party testing.

Test Objective

Purpose of the Test

The ISO 5356-1 conical connector test equipment determines whether a medical cone or socket engages with the applicable reference gauge in the position permitted by the standard.

Dimensional inconsistency may affect connector interchangeability and the reliability of the assembled breathing system.

✓
Checks correct engagement with the applicable gauge
✓
Confirms the permitted connector engagement position
✓
Checks the leading edge against the gauge limit steps
✓
Supports routine dimensional consistency inspection

Test Method

ISO 5356-1 Test Principle

The ISO 5356-1 conical connector test equipment engages the specimen with an appropriate plug or ring gauge while applying the required axial force.

35 ± 3.5 N
8.5, 11.5 and 15 mm connectors
50 ± 5 N
22 and 30 mm connectors

Rotation and Acceptance Position

While maintaining the applicable axial force, the connector or gauge is rotated 20° ± 5°. The leading edge should lie between the minimum and maximum diameter steps of the applicable reference gauge.

i
Laboratory Conditioning
The connector and gauge should be maintained at 20 ± 3 °C. This is a laboratory test condition, not an integrated temperature-control function unless specifically included in the equipment configuration.

Controlled Force and Rotation

A key function of the ISO 5356-1 conical connector test equipment is the controlled application of the required 35 N or 50 N axial force.

Consistent Loading

Applies the required force more consistently than an entirely manual procedure.

Coordinated Movement

Supports axial loading together with the specified rotational movement.

Repeatable Workflow

Helps reduce variation between operators during routine inspection.

The ISO 5356-1 conical connector test equipment supports dimensional gauging. Leakage, separation force, latching performance and other functional requirements may require separate equipment.

Standard Scope and Connector Applications

The ISO 5356-1 conical connector test equipment supports gauging requirements for cones and sockets used in breathing systems, vaporizers and anaesthetic gas scavenging systems.

Nominal Size Typical Application
8.5 mm Neonatal and paediatric breathing systems
11.5 mm Neonatal and paediatric breathing systems
15 mm General breathing systems
22 mm General breathing systems
22 mm Latching Socket Breathing system connections with a latching feature
23 mm Vaporizers, not for general breathing systems
30 mm Connection to an anaesthetic gas scavenging system
The original product information lists a 22 mm gauge. Gauges and fixtures for other sizes should be confirmed during technical review.

Plug Gauge and Ring Gauge Selection

The correct configuration of the ISO 5356-1 conical connector test equipment depends on whether the specimen is a male cone or a female socket.

Female Socket
Plug Gauge
Male Cone
Ring Gauge

The gauge provides the dimensional reference, while the apparatus applies the required axial force and rotational condition. The equipment, gauge and specimen fixture should be configured as a complete testing system.

Conical Connector Test Equipment FAQ

What is the Conical Connector Test Equipment used for?
The ISO 5356-1 conical connector test equipment is used for dimensional gauging of cones and sockets fitted to anaesthetic and respiratory equipment. It applies the specified axial force and rotational movement while the connector engages with an appropriate plug or ring gauge, helping determine whether the connector reaches the permitted engagement position.
Which standard does this equipment support?
The equipment is designed to support the gauging procedure specified in ISO 5356-1:2015, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment — Conical connectors — Part 1: Cones and sockets. Customers should confirm the required standard edition or corresponding national adoption before ordering, especially when preparing equipment for accredited or regulatory testing.
What connector sizes can be tested?
ISO 5356-1 covers 8.5 mm and 11.5 mm connectors for neonatal and paediatric systems, 15 mm and 22 mm connectors for general breathing systems, 23 mm vaporizer connectors and 30 mm scavenging-system connectors. The actual sizes that can be tested depend on the gauges and specimen fixtures included in the ordered configuration.
How is the ISO 5356-1 gauging test performed?
The specimen is engaged with the appropriate gauge under 35 ± 3.5 N for 8.5 mm, 11.5 mm and 15 mm connectors, or 50 ± 5 N for 22 mm and 30 mm connectors. The connector or gauge is rotated 20° ± 5°, and its leading edge is checked against the gauge limit steps.
Do I need a plug gauge or a ring gauge?
The required gauge depends on the connector interface. A plug gauge is generally used to inspect a female socket, while a ring gauge is used for a male cone. Customers should provide the connector size, male or female interface and material so the correct Conical Connector Test Equipment gauge configuration can be confirmed.
Can the equipment test both metal and non-metal connectors?
ISO 5356-1 contains different dimensional and gauging considerations for metal and non-metal connectors. The equipment may be used with either type when the correct reference gauge and fixture are selected. Connector material should therefore be specified before quotation, rather than assuming that one gauge configuration is suitable for every material.
Is the connector test fully automatic?
The equipment provides controlled axial force application, reducing dependence on manually applied force. The exact level of automation for rotation, positioning and test-cycle control depends on the final equipment configuration. Buyers should confirm the required operating method and control functions during the technical review before placing an order.
Are all connector gauges included with the equipment?
Not necessarily. The original product information identifies a 22 mm gauge configuration, but other plug gauges, ring gauges and specimen fixtures may need to be selected separately. The final quotation should clearly list every included gauge, connector size, fixture and accessory to ensure that the supplied system matches the intended test application.
What calibration or inspection documents can be supplied?
Documentation requirements should be confirmed during quotation. Depending on the agreed supply scope, customers may request a product datasheet, factory inspection record or calibration-related documentation. If an accredited calibration certificate is required, the measurement items, issuing laboratory and accreditation scope should be verified before the order is finalized.
Does passing this test prove complete ISO 5356-1 compliance?
No. This apparatus supports the dimensional gauging procedure for conical connectors, but it does not by itself demonstrate compliance with every applicable requirement. Leakage, separation force, latching performance or other functional tests may require additional equipment. Final conformity also depends on the correct gauge, conditioning, calibration status and approved laboratory procedure.
