BS 1133, Packaging Code Section 6: Temporary prevention of corrosion of metal surfaces (during transportation and storage) Section 19: Us

15、e of desiccants in packaging. This revised British Standard for length bars has been prepared under the authority of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Standards Committee in response to a request received from the National Physical Laboratory. It forms one of a series of standards for engineers pr

16、ecision measuring tools which has been prepared with the co-operation of the manufacturers and in close collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory. From experience gained since its original publication in1952, and having regard to research work carried out at the National Physical Laborator

17、y which has resulted in the introduction of a refined screwed connection 1)for length bars, it has been considered desirable to revise this Standard. The more important features of this revision are as follows: i) A new calibration grade of bar has been introduced into the standard so that four grad

18、es of accuracy are now provided, viz., reference, calibration, inspection and workshop. The basis of the respective tolerances on length for these grades of bars follows closely that of the corresponding grades for slip (or block) gauges laid down in BS888. ii) Modern end measuring machines are now

19、provided with universally adjustable supports; in consequence, the squareness tolerance between the measuring faces of a bar and the common axis of its Airy positions has been relaxed and an enlarged uniform tolerance has been assigned to all grades of bars. This has led to the elimination of the ra

20、ised Airy bands specified for the original types of reference and inspection bars; the Airy positions on all grades of bars are now indicated by pairs of circumferential lines scribed round the bar. iii) The opportunity has also been taken to rationalize the requirements for accessories by standardi

21、zing one type only. iv) The refined screwed connection referred to above has been introduced into the Standard. By means of this connection the change in the length of a built-up combination of bars, arising from stresses set up at each joint during hand assembly, has been reduced to about one micro

22、 inch (0.000 001in) per joint. The original screwed connection designed for use with workshop grade bars and their associated accessories is quite satisfactory for workshop accuracy and has therefore been retained in the revised Standard. By employing the refined connection, however, it is now possi

23、ble to build bars of higher grade accuracy into a combination without any appreciable loss of overall inherent accuracy and this facility has accordingly been extended to inspection grade bars. It is essential that the refined joint be employed on all inspection grade bars, but for workshop grade ba

24、rs the choice of screwed connection, refined or original type, is optional. 1) For details of the refinement in the design of the screwed connection see references to published papers given inAppendix B of this Standard.BS1790:1961 BSI 01-2000 iii The improved type of screwed connection is the subje

25、ct of a patent No.819921 by The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. The British Standards Institution has been assured by D.S.I.R. that licenses to manufacture the connections will be granted to approved intending manufacturers on reasonable conditions. A British Standard does not purp

26、ort to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front c

28、relates to length bars of the cylindrical type, in inch sizes up to48in, having parallel end faces finished by lapping. If longer bars are required, they shall be uniform in diameter and straight overall to the limits laid down in Clauses7 a) and b); tolerances for flatness and parallelism of faces

29、shall be proportionate to those specified in the appropriateTable 1, Table 3, Table 5 and Table 7, and their lengths shall conform to the requirements of Clause7 d)ii). Provision is made for two designs of length bar, one with complete plane faces and the other with annular faces surrounding an inte

30、rnally threaded hole at one end or both ends of the bar. Section 1 provides for four grades of accuracy, namely: i) Reference ii) Calibration iii) Inspection iv) Workshop. Reference grade bars, as their name implies, are intended for use as reference standards. They have completely plane faces and e

31、mbody the highest order of accuracy as regards both their end faces and the finishing of their actual lengths to their nominal sizes. It is recommended that they should be supplied with a certificate by the National Physical Laboratory which confirms their full accordance with this British Standard

32、and gives the deviations from their nominal lengths to an appropriately high order of accuracy. To derive the maximum benefit from these very high grade reference bars they should be used only in standards rooms which are temperature controlled at68 1 F (20 1 / 2 C) and with comparators of suitably

33、high sensitivity. Calibration grade bars possess the same degree of perfection in their completely plane end faces as the reference grade bars. They differ only in the somewhat wider tolerances allowed in the adjustment of their lengths to the nominal sizes, which thus permits them to be produced mo

34、re economically than reference grade bars. It is recommended, however, that calibration grade bars should, like those of reference grade, be supplied and used with a N.P.L. certificate giving the actual deviation in the length of each bar from its nominal size. NOTEThe wider tolerances permitted on

35、the lengths of calibration grade bars render them no less serviceable than reference grade bars when used as standards for the accurate measurement of other bars. As already mentioned for reference grade bars, calibration grade bars require to be used under suitable conditions of temperature and wit

36、h appropriate comparators if the fullest advantage is to be gained of the very high accuracy associated with their certified sizes. Inspection grade bars have internally threaded ends and can thus be used in combination with each other. They are intended for use in inspection rooms and tool rooms. W

37、orkshop grade bars also have internally threaded ends and can be used with slip gauges, comparators and their own accessories for measuring gauges, jigs, work pieces, etc. As their name implies, they are intended for use in workshops. General dimensions, tolerances on length and standards of accurac

38、y for flatness, parallelism and squareness of faces are specified for all grades of bars. Section 2 relates to the essential features of design and accuracy of accessories for use with inspection and workshop grade bars. Recommended sets of inspection and workshop grade bars and the sources of paper

39、s on the refined type of screwed connection are given in Appendices. 2 Nomenclature and definitions For the purpose of this standard the following definitions apply. 2.1 airy positions the Airy positions are those points at which a bar of uniform cross section must be supported, when used with its a

40、xis horizontal, to bring the end faces of the bar parallel; when it is so supported, the flexure of the bar under its own weight is reduced almost to a minimum (seeFigure 5) 2.2 Length 2.2.1 reference and calibration bars the length of a reference or calibration grade bar is defined as the distance

41、from the centre of one of its faces to a flat surface in wringing contact with the opposite face, measured normal to the surface and at a temperature of 68 F (20 C) NOTETo reduce possible effects of small permissible errors in the flatness of the faces of a bar, the length should be measured first w

42、ith one face and then the other wrung to the flat surface and the mean of the two results taken.BS1790:1961 2 BSI 01-2000 2.2.2 inspection and workshop bars the length of an inspection or a workshop grade bar is defined as the mean of four measurements made parallel to the axis of the bar at quadran

43、tal positions, and at the mean radius of its annular faces. These measurements are made at a temperature of 68 F (20 C) if the bars are measured in a horizontal position they should be supported at the Airy positions described in Sub-clause2.1 2.3 flatness tolerance the maximum permissible distance

44、between two imaginary parallel planes within which the contour of a face can just be enclosed (seeFigure 1) 2.4 parallelism tolerance parallelism in this context is intended to refer to the maximum variation in the length of any one bar (seeFigure 2) 2.5 squareness tolerance the maximum permissible

45、distance between two imaginary parallel planes normal to the axis of the Airy positions and just enclosing the face under consideration (seeFigure 3) Figure 1 Exaggerated illustration of flatness tolerance Figure 2 Exaggerated illustration of parallelism tolerance Figure 3 Exaggerated illustration o

Reference and calibration grade bars shall take the form of cylindrical bars 7 / 8inch in diameter and shall have completely plane end faces. The Airy

47、positions on all bars6 inches in length and over shall be indicated by two symmetrically spaced pairs of bold circumferential lines scribed around the bars, as shown inFigure 4. The lines shall not stand proud of the surface of the bar. b) Inspection grade and workshop grade bars (seeFigure 6 andFig

48、ure 7). Inspection grade and workshop grade bars shall take the form of cylindrical bars 7 / 8inch in diameter, internally threaded and recessed at one or both ends. It may be convenient to supply on occasion the1in bar solid throughout. The Airy positions on all bars6 inches in length and over shal

49、l be indicated as for reference and calibration grade bars. The threaded connections at the end of inspection bars shall be made in accordance with the dimensions and tolerances specified inFigure 8(a). Those at the ends of workshop bars shall preferably be made in accordance with the dimensions and tolerances specified inFigure 9(a); alternatively they may be made to the dimensions and tolerances given inFigure 8(a). All threaded connections shall be assembled hand tight only. NOTE 1Bars screwed togethe
