It was prepared by Technical Committee TDW/4, Technical product specification Methodology, presentation and verification under the dire

9、ction of the Consumer products and services business sector. TDW/4 has, within its scope, responsibility for “metrology and precision measurement” with resulting access to appropriate technical expertise. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secreta

10、ry.SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 4311-2:1994 and BS 4311-3:1993, which are withdrawn.Information about this documentThis new version of BS 4311 has been prepared in response to a requirement for the ongoing support for gauge blocks manufactured to the imperial system, following the

11、 publication of BS EN ISO 3650:1999, which provides for gauge blocks manufactured to the metric system, and the consequent withdrawal of BS 4311-1:1993.Throughout this revision, the principles and practices specified in BS EN ISO 3650:1999 have been given precedence and have been cross-referenced wh

12、erever appropriate. The main function of this new version of BS 4311 is to provide for the application of the requirements of BS EN ISO 3650:1999 to the many gauge blocks manufactured to the imperial system, which remain in use and which will continue to be in use for the foreseeable future.The effe

13、cts of uncertainty of measurement continue to be taken into account in that the method of measurement is clearly stated for each grade and the line of traceability to internationally recognized, universal standards of length is established.As with BS EN ISO 3650:1999, and unlike the former BS 4311-1

14、:1993 and BS 4311-3:1993, this standard does not make any distinction between new and used gauge blocks. However, the fact that during use gauge blocks wear and consequently fall outside their original specification is still recognized. To preserve the required standards of accuracy during use, gaug

15、e blocks should be carefully maintained and regularly calibrated. Guidance on these aspects is provided in Annex A, Annex B, Annex C and Annex D. Because of their inclusion in this standard, the contents of these annexes relate specifically to gauge blocks manufactured to the imperial system, but it

16、 should be recognized that the principles and recommendations presented here, apply equally to gauge blocks manufactured to the metric system.Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 11/12/2007 03:02, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI BSI 2007 iiiBS 4311:2007Presentational conventionsThe prov

Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.A

18、 comma, rather than a full point, has been used as the decimal indicator throughout this British Standard in order to align it with the Geometrical Product Specifications listed in Clause 2.
