What Does the Spark Plug Numbering Mean?
1 Answers
The meaning of spark plug numbering is: The first letter of each NGK spark plug model represents the thread diameter of the spark plug. For example, in the spark plug model BKR6E, the initial letters 'BK' indicate a 14MM thread diameter. For ISO-certified length spark plugs, 'R' stands for built-in resistor, the number '6' represents the heat range, and 'E' denotes a 19MM thread engagement length. Commonly known as spark plugs, their function is to discharge the high-voltage pulse electricity delivered by the high-tension lead, breaking down the air between the two electrodes to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. The main types include standard spark plugs, projected insulator spark plugs, and electrode-type spark plugs.
