Introduction

Background of Standard Revision and Technological Evolution

This standard replaces TB/T 2604-2007, and the main technical changes are reflected in:

  • Update of measuring tool type: Delete 13A measuring tool, and add 13B/16/17 forged hook tail frame measuring tool
  • Upgrade of technical requirements: The hardness of the measuring surface is increased to 50-55HRC, and the parallelism tolerance is limited to 0.30mm
  • Improvement of inspection system: Added hardness furnace sampling rules (5% and ≥2 pieces) and indication error verification method

Technical specifications of core measuring tools

Measuring tool type Key parameters Accuracy requirements Applicable vehicle models
Hook tail frame measuring ruler Graduation value 0.05mm Indication error ±0.20mm 13B/16/17 type
13B type inner cavity gauge Inner cavity height 168+4mm Surface roughness Ra1.6 Special for 13B type
17 type pin hole gauge Pin hole Φ92+0.38mm Chromium layer anti-rust treatment Special for type 17

Key inspection methods

Hardness test specifications

According to GB/T 230.1 standard, a Rockwell hardness tester is used to randomly select 3 points on the measuring surface for inspection. If a single point exceeds the tolerance, it will be judged as unqualified. A typical case shows that the hardness value of a batch of gauges fluctuates by 8HRC due to quenching temperature deviation, and it meets the standard after adjustment through tempering process.

Indication error verification

Use a universal tool microscope with a gauge block set to compare the two scales at three characteristic points of 780/835/865mm. Data from a certain laboratory shows that every 1℃ increase in temperature will cause the measuring scale to expand by 0.012mm, and it needs to be calibrated in an environment of 20±2℃.


Implementation suggestions

  1. Measuring tool selection: Select the corresponding gauge according to the vehicle model. Type 16 and type 17 cannot be mixed
  2. Periodic calibration: It is recommended to re-check the hardness and key dimensions every 6 months
  3. Operation specification: Clean the contact surface of the hook tail frame before measurement, and keep the gauge insertion angle vertical
  4. Maintenance and storage: VCI vapor phase anti-rust paper can be used for short-term rust prevention, and anti-rust grease needs to be applied for long-term storage
