ISO 8637-2 Conical Gauge

Product Overview

Reliable connections in extracorporeal blood circuits depend on accurately manufactured mating surfaces. Conical connectors must maintain their specified geometry to achieve the intended engagement with corresponding blood ports.

The KP-8637F3 Conical Gauge provides a precision-defined mating reference for inspecting the conical geometry of blood socket connectors associated with ISO 8637-2.

Its 6:100 taper geometry and specified 5 N inspection force support controlled assessment of dimensional engagement. By using a reference gauge with defined dimensions, laboratories and manufacturers can evaluate connector geometry against the applicable dimensional requirements.

The gauge is manufactured from 440C stainless steel, with a specified Rockwell hardness of HRC 58–60 and a surface roughness not exceeding Ra 0.8 μm on critical surfaces.

Designed as a mechanical inspection component, the KP-8637F3 does not require an electronic measuring system for its intended gauging function.

The defined conical geometry provides a reference for dimensional inspection of blood socket connectors under the specified gauging conditions.

Conical Dimensional Inspection

The KP-8637F3 is used to examine the mating geometry of blood socket connectors. The inspection primarily concerns three characteristics:

Conical Geometry

The gauge incorporates a defined 6:100 taper, allowing the mating cone geometry to be evaluated against specified dimensional limits.

Engagement Position

The engagement between the reference cone and the connector is relevant to determining whether the conical interface falls within the permitted dimensional range.

Dimensional Consistency

A defined gauge geometry provides a consistent reference for inspection activities involving connector development, production verification and quality control.

Dimensional inspection is distinct from functional testing. Liquid leakage, air leakage, separation resistance and other connection performance characteristics require the appropriate test procedures and equipment.

The 5 N Inspection Force

The 5 N inspection force is an important test condition for the KP-8637F3.

The force applied during inspection affects the engagement between the gauge and the connector. Using a specified force helps establish a consistent inspection condition when evaluating connector geometry.

The 5 N value represents the inspection force, not the measuring range of a force tester.

Gauge engagement and dimensional acceptance should be assessed using the procedure required by the applicable ISO 8637-2 edition.

ISO 8637-2 Standard and Test Application

ISO 8637-2 specifies requirements for disposable extracorporeal blood and fluid circuits and associated accessories used with haemodialysis equipment.

These systems are used in extracorporeal blood treatment therapies, including haemodialysis, haemodiafiltration and haemofiltration.

Connector dimensional requirements help establish mechanical compatibility between blood circuit components and their intended mating interfaces.

The KP-8637F3 supports conical dimensional inspection associated with these requirements through its defined reference geometry and 5 N inspection condition.

The gauge is intended for dimensional verification and should not be used as a substitute for separate leakage or mechanical performance tests required for the complete connector assembly.

Typical Laboratory Applications

01
Blood Circuit Manufacturing
Dimensional inspection of blood socket connectors during production quality control and incoming component inspection.
02
Medical Connector Development
Verification of conical geometry and mating engagement during connector design, prototyping and dimensional validation.
03
Medical Device Testing Laboratories
Reference gauging for dimensional inspection of blood socket connectors under applicable ISO 8637-2 procedures.

Compliance & Regulatory Assurance

The KP-8637F3 Conical Gauge is designed for dimensional inspection of blood socket connectors in accordance with the relevant requirements of ISO 8637-2. Its defined 6:100 taper geometry, 5 N inspection condition, and precision-machined 440C stainless steel construction support consistent evaluation of connector dimensions and engagement.

The gauge serves as a dimensional inspection reference within the applicable test procedure. Complete connector conformity assessment must also address any required leakage, mechanical integrity and connection performance tests specified by the relevant standard edition.

FAQ

Is the KP-8637F3 intended for blood circuit socket connectors or dialyzer blood ports?
The KP-8637F3 is intended for conical dimensional inspection of blood socket connectors associated with ISO 8637-2. It should not be treated as a universal gauge for both mating connector types. The inspection target and required geometry must be identified before selection.
Can the gauge measure the actual diameter of a blood socket connector?
No. The KP-8637F3 is a reference gauge, not a digital dimensional measuring instrument. It supports assessment of conical engagement against defined reference geometry. Direct measurement of individual diameters and taper dimensions requires suitable dimensional measuring equipment.
Does the 5 N specification refer to connector pull-off force?
No. The 5 N value refers to the specified gauging force, not the connector's axial separation force. Pull-off resistance is a separate mechanical performance characteristic requiring an appropriate test setup.
How should the 5 N force be applied during inspection?
The specified 5 N force should be applied according to the applicable gauging procedure. If your laboratory requires a dedicated loading fixture or force-control arrangement, please identify this when requesting a quotation so the required setup can be reviewed.
Can the KP-8637F3 be used to inspect soft or semi-rigid blood socket connectors?
Suitability depends on the connector material and the applicable inspection requirement. ISO 8637-2:2024 distinguishes dimensional and functional conformity requirements for soft or semi-rigid socket connectors. A gauge inspection alone should not be used to establish complete conformity where functional testing is required.
Can one conical gauge be used for different connector designs with the same 6:100 taper?
Not necessarily. Matching the 6:100 taper ratio alone does not establish compatibility. The specified cone diameters, engagement geometry and dimensional tolerances must also correspond to the connector being inspected.
Does the gauge also verify connector sealing or locking performance?
No. The KP-8637F3 is intended for conical dimensional inspection. Sealing integrity, leakage resistance and mechanical locking performance require the relevant additional inspection or functional testing procedures.
Should I choose KP-8637F3 or KP-8637F4 for ISO 8637-2 testing?
Choose KP-8637F3 when the required application calls for its Table 3 conical gauge geometry and 5 N inspection condition. KP-8637F4 has a different Table 4 reference connector geometry. The two should not be substituted without confirming the required test procedure.
Does the conical gauge require periodic dimensional verification?
Periodic verification is advisable for a precision mechanical gauge, particularly when it is used repeatedly in production inspection. The inspection interval should follow the laboratory's quality procedures, taking into account usage and wear. Any required dimensional inspection or calibration documentation should be specified when ordering.
What information is needed to confirm the correct gauge before ordering?
Please provide the ISO 8637-2 edition, connector type, socket dimensions or technical drawing, and intended inspection procedure. If your laboratory requires a specific loading arrangement, dimensional report or calibration documentation, include these requirements in the inquiry.
