Reliable Copper Tube Terminal Crimping with Documented Calibration
Correct crimping is essential for establishing secure electrical and mechanical connections between copper conductors and their terminals. The Partex CT120I-CAL uses an adjustable indent crimping mechanism to compress compatible copper tube terminal barrels around conductors from 16–120 mm². The manually selected crimp setting enables the tool to accommodate different terminal sizes while the long handles provide the leverage required for heavy-duty compression.
The inclusion of a calibration certificate distinguishes the CT120I-CAL from the standard CT120I model. Calibration documentation helps electrical contractors, switchboard manufacturers and maintenance teams maintain records of tooling performance as part of their inspection and quality assurance processes. Combined with durable SCM440 steel jaws, tubular steel handles and compatibility with Partex COL and PXL terminals, the CT120I-CAL provides a practical solution for professional electrical installations where repeatable crimping and documented tool verification are important.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex CT120I-CAL used for?
The Partex CT120I-CAL is a calibrated manual indent crimping tool designed for compressing compatible copper tube terminals onto copper conductors with cross-sectional areas from 16–120 mm². It is suitable for industrial electrical installations, switchgear assembly and power distribution applications.
What is the difference between the Partex CT120I and CT120I-CAL?
Both versions use the same CT120I manual indent crimping tool with a 16–120 mm² capacity. The CT120I-CAL includes a calibration certificate, making it suitable for applications requiring documented tool calibration and quality assurance records.
Does the Partex CT120I-CAL include a calibration certificate?
Yes. The CT120I-CAL is supplied with a calibration certificate. This provides calibration documentation for the crimping tool and supports electrical installation quality control and tooling management procedures.
What conductor sizes can the CT120I-CAL crimp?
The tool is designed for compatible copper tube terminals covering conductor cross-sectional areas from 16 mm² to 120 mm². The correct adjustment should be selected according to the terminal and conductor size.
Which terminals are compatible with the Partex CT120I-CAL?
The CT120I-CAL is designed for use with Partex COL and PXL copper tube terminals within its specified 16–120 mm² crimping range.
What type of crimp does the CT120I-CAL produce?
The tool produces an indent crimp, applying localised compression to the copper terminal barrel to create a secure mechanical and electrical connection with the conductor when correctly installed.
How is the crimp size adjusted on the CT120I-CAL?
The Partex CT120I-CAL features a manual screw adjustment mechanism that allows the operator to select the appropriate crimping size for compatible copper tube terminals.
What materials are used to manufacture the CT120I-CAL?
