What is BS 4215-6 – Specification for electrode adaptors about?
BS 4215 is a series of British Standards that discusses resistance spot welding electrodes, electrode holders, and ancillary equipment. The main objective of the BS 4215 series is to provide best industry guidance on resistance-welding equipment to ensure they are fit for its intended application use.
BS 4215-6 is the sixth part of the BS 4215 series that specifies the dimensions and tolerances of resistance spot welding electrode adaptors where the fixing element for the cap is a female taper (for male electrode cap, see BS 4215-7) and for which the electrode taper fits conform to BS EN 21089:1992.
Who is BS 4215-6 - Specification for electrode adaptors for?
BS 4215-6 on specification for electrode adaptors is useful for:
- Electrode adaptor manufacturers
- Welding equipment manufacturers
- Construction, automotive, mechanical industry
- Sheet metal manufacturers
- Manufacturers of pressure vessels
- Aerospace industry
Why should you use BS 4215-6 - Specification for electrode adaptors?
Resistance welding is a method of joining metals by applying pressure and passing a high electric current through the metal combination, which heats up the welding joint and melts the metals together, forging them together.
BS 4215-3 provides you with best industry guidance on dimensions, tolerances requirements, and marking requirements as well as the designation for electrode adaptors.
If you are a manufacturer of resistance-welding equipment, compliance with BS 4215-3 can ensure your electrode adaptors play a positive role in the overall spot welding process.
