Introduction

Interpretation of the core content of the standard

This standard replaces GB/T 4056-2008 and adopts the IEC 60120:1984 international standard. It mainly regulates the ball and socket connection dimension system of disc-shaped and long-rod insulator string components. The 36/40 connection mark is added, and the locking pin matching requirements are strengthened.


Comparison of key technical parameters

Connection mark Foot ball diameter d2(mm) Cap socket entrance D1(mm) Allowable inclination angle β(°) Locking pin type
16A 33.3-34.5 19.2+1.6 9.5 W/R type
28 57.0-1.9 32.0+2.9 9.0 R type
40(new) 81.0-2.1 44.0+3.3 7.0 R type

Key points for key dimension control

Football inspection specifications

Five major gauges are required:

  1. Ball height-rod diameter-rod length through gauge (Table B.1)
  2. Ball diameter go gauge (Table B.2)
  3. Ball height stop gauge (Table B.3)
  4. Ball diameter stop gauge (Table B.4)
  5. Rod diameter stop gauge (Table B.5)

Example: The rod diameter d1 of a 28-type foot ball must meet the 27.5mm stop gauge test and fails (tolerance 29.0-1.5mm)


Implementation suggestions

Gauge management requirements

  • The wear limit value of the go gauge can be found in the "Wear Limit" column of each table (e.g., if the 11-type connection go gauge D1≤12.500mm, it will be scrapped)
  • It is recommended to use HRC62-63 hardness steel to manufacture gauges, with a surface roughness of Ra<4μm

Assembly gap control

According to the requirements of Table 5:

  • The Dd1 gap of type 20 connection should be controlled within 2.0-5.4mm
  • The minimum Q value is 1.8mm when the W-type pin is matched (1.5mm for the R-type pin)

Technology evolution analysis

Main improvements compared to the 2008 version:

  • Add 36/40 large-size connection marks to meet the needs of UHV lines
  • Refine the matching dimensions of the locking pin (refer to GB/T 25318-2019)
  • Supplement the h4 size requirements of the double-foot ball (Table 4)
  • Improve the gauge wear limit marking system
