2、sion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers standard dimensional require-ments for obtaining, within practical limits, interchangeabilityin spher
3、ical ground joints for ordinary laboratory and industrialapplications. It covers dimensional interchangeability of theground surfaces only and does not involve design characteris-tics of the item except where specified, nor does it involvephysical or chemical characteristics of the material used.NOT
4、E 1The dimensions pertaining to spherical ground joints weretaken from the Commercial Standard CS 2158 of the U.S. Department ofCommerce.NOTE 2Although glass is the most commonly used material forground joints, other materials may be used as specified. Spherical jointsconstructed from glass shall co

Requirements3.1 Socket MemberThe design of the socket member isshown in Fig. 1. The contour of the ground area shall
9、bespherical, with a radius of curvature equal to one half of thegaging ball diameter specified in Table 1 as a minimum. Thecontour of the shoulder shall be essentially spherical andconcentric with the ground area. When tested in accordancewith 4.2, socket members shall show a continuous circumfer-en
10、tial line of contact with the gaging ball.3.2 Ball MemberThe design of the ball member is shownin Fig. 1. The contour of the ground area shall be spherical,with a radius of curvature equal to one half of the gaging balldiameter as specified in Table 1 as a maximum. The contour ofthe shoulder shall b
11、e essentially spherical, approximatelyconcentric with the ground area and with a slightly smallerradius to provide a short offset at or slightly beyond the line ofthe gaging diameter. Ball members shall meet the reducedpressure test (4.3) when assembled with a socket membercomplying with 3.1.3.3 Siz
12、e DesignationThe size designation of joints shallbe the accepted nominal gaging diameter, plus the insidediameter of the joint within the ball member, both expressed inmillimetres and separated by a line. Therefore, the designation18/7 means that the nominal gaging diameter of the joint is 18mm and
13、the inside diameter of the joint is 7 mm.3.4 DimensionsThe size designations and essential di-mensions of joints are shown in Table 1. Only the sizes listedshall be considered standard.3.5 InterchangeabilityWhen assembled ball-and-socketmembers are paired at random and tested under reducedpressure,
14、the leak rates shall not exceed those specified in 4.3.4. Test Methods4.1 Gaging the BallGaging balls shall have dimensionsand tolerances shown in Table 1.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E41 onLaboratory Apparatus and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E41.0

This line may beobtained with the use of a film of Prussian blue or stopcockgrease applied to the gaging ball
18、.4.3 LeakageUse the leak test apparatus illustrated in Fig.2, or one functionally similar to it, with the average differentialpressure during the test kept above 600 mm Hg. Conduct thetest as follows:4.3.1 Clean both joints to be tested with distilled water, andthen dry them with a clean paper towel
19、. Next, wipe the groundzones with a clean chamois to remove any remaining particles.4.3.2 Tightly close the unground end of the joint to beconnected to the manometer system, using a rubber stoppercontaining a concentric hole (or rubber tubing, depending uponthe joint size under test) sized to fit sn
20、ugly on the manometerconnection, and mount the joint on the connection in an uprightposition.4.3.3 Firmly plug the unground end of the other type of jointwith a solid rubber stopper.4.3.4 Carefully mate the ground surfaces of the jointswithout exerting any pressure on them.4.3.5 Gently apply a 225-g
21、 weight on the upper joint forseating pressure; then rotate the upper joint 90 and remove theweight.4.3.6 After ensuring that the stopcock to the vacuum pumpis in the closed position, turn on the pump, and adjust thestopcock to the pump so that the mercury in the manometerrises to a level such that
22、the average differential pressure willremain above 600 mm Hg at the conclusion of the test.4.3.7 Allow air leakage to occur through the mated joints fora timed interval, and note the change in differential pressure.4.3.8 Repeat 4.3.4 4.3.7 once, ensuring in 4.3.5 that theupper joint is rotated 90 fr
23、om its position in the first test.4.3.9 CalculationCompute the leak rate in torrL/s orPaL/s as follows:Leak rate 5 P!V!/T (1)where:P = maximum change in differential pressure noted in test,mm Hg or Pa,V = total evacuated volume, including manometer tubing,connections, flask, and joints, L, andFIG. 1
