It supersedes BS3473-1:1985, which is withdrawn, and is identical with ISO69
7、5:1991 “Glass Resistance to attack by a boiling aqueous solution of mixed alkali Method of test and classification”, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It has been prepared by subcommittee5 of Technical Committee48, Laboratory glassware and related apparatus, with
8、 the active participation and approval of the UK. BS3473 was first published in1962 as a single publication which described procedures for determining the resistance of glass used in the production of laboratory glassware to attack by a boiling aqueous solution of mixed alkali, and to water at100 C
9、and121 C. To facilitate alignment with corresponding International Standards, the revision of BS3473 was begun in1981 with the publication of the first three Parts of what was then intended to be a six-Part standard. Part6, which was to deal with classification, will not now be issued as it has been
10、 agreed internationally to include classification in the individual test methods. BS3473 currently consists of the following Parts. Part 1: Method for determination of resistance of glass to attack by a boiling aqueous solution of mixed alkali; (Identical with ISO695:1991) Part 2: Method for determi
11、nation of hydrolytic resistance of glass grains at98 C; (Identical with ISO719:1985) Part 3: Method for determination of hydrolytic resistance of glass grains at121 C; (Identical with ISO720:1985) Part 4: Methods for determination of hydrolytic resistance of the interior surfaces of glass containers
12、; Section 4.1 Determination by titration method and classification; (Identical with ISO4802-1:1988) Section 4.2 Determination by flame photometry and classification; (Identical with ISO4802-2:1988) Part 5: Method for determination of resistance of glass to attack by6mol/L hydrochloric acid at100 C;
13、(Identical with ISO1776:1985) The procedures described in BS3473 are recommended as being capable of yielding consistent results in the hands of independent workers in different laboratories and offer a means of assessing the chemical resistance of glass used in the production of laboratory ware whe
14、n tested by the specified procedure. Because the term “laboratory glassware” covers a wide variety of articles to serve many different purposes and the glass types used include both borosilicate and soda-lime-silica glass, methods of test are required which are widely applicable. Tests of fractured
15、surfaces, such as the grain test described in Parts2 and3 give an assessment of the chemical behaviour of the body of the glass and can be applied to articles of laboratory glassware because they are usually used many times. Such tests have a more limited value for assessing the chemical resistance
16、of glass articles which are to be used once only because the resistance depends more on the condition of the surface than on the body of the glass; BS3473-4 relates to such applications.BS3473-1:1991 BSI 10-1999 iii It should be realized that whilst these procedures can be used to assess the behavio
17、ur of glass under the stated conditions, and thus to select glasses for general laboratory purposes, they can only reveal or measure limited aspects of chemical behaviour. Where articles are designed for a specific purpose, it is essential that the performance of the glass should be evaluated in ter
18、ms of precise service requirements by using simulative or functional tests. This revision introduces improvements to the test procedure and precision data derived from an inter-laboratory study. A related British Standard to ISO683-13:1986 is BS970 “Specification for wrought steels for mechanical an
19、d allied engineering purposes” Part1:1988 “General inspection and testing procedures and specific requirements for carbon, carbon manganese, alloy and stainless steels.” CAUTION. Attention is drawn to the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act,1974, and the need for ensuring that the method of test spec
20、ified in this standard is carried out with suitable precautions. The procedure described in this standard method is intended to be carried out by qualified chemists or other suitably trained and/or supervised personnel. Normal safety precautions should be observed throughout the use of the method. P
21、articular attention is drawn to the need to wear suitable eye-protectors during the preparation and handling of glass fragments; see BS2092 “Specification for eye-protectors for industrial and non-industrial uses” for details of suitable types. A British Standard does not purport to include all the
22、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. Cross-references International Standard Corresponding British Standard BS3473 Chemical resistanc

26、 1 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a) a method for determining the resistance of glass to attack by a boiling aqueous solution of sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide. The resistance is measured inversely by the loss in mass per unit surface area of the glass; b) a classification of g
27、lass according to the alkali resistance determined by the method of this International Standard. NOTE 1The method of test according to this International Standard is also applicable for determining the alkali resistance of glass ceramics. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provis

The heating bath shall be supplied with a stirring device or a li

It shall be of sufficient capacity to allow each test vessel to be immersed in the bath liquid until the level of the liquid inside the test vessel is level with that in the hea

The heating bath shall be supplied with temperature measuring devices, e.g.digital thermometers, to allow the bath liq

43、linders. Each sample shall have a total surface area, surfaces plus edges, of between10cm 2and15cm 2 . Remove any sharp angles, “hackles” or splinters by polishing the edges or bevelling the corners. Do not firepolish any part of the samples. This concerns only samples where the new cut surface area
44、 is not more than20% of the total surface area. Otherwise the sample shall be submitted to the etching procedure according to6.2 and regarded as glass “as a material”. 6.2 Glass “as a material” Immerse the sample(s) completely in a mixture of1 volume of hydrofluoric acid (4.4) and 9 volumes of hydro
45、chloric acid (4.3). Allow the samples to stand at ambient temperature for10min. Holding the samples in position, pour out the mixture very carefully. Rinse the sample(s) five times with distilled water (see first paragraph of clause4). 6.3 Number of samples For each test, both for glass “as delivere
46、d” or “as a material”, two samples shall be tested. 7 Procedure 7.1 Number of samples in a test vessel When “unknown” glasses are to be examined only two samples shall be tested at the same time. When glasses with a loss in mass per unit surface area not greater than200mg/dm 2are to be examined, up
47、to four samples of two different types of glasses may be tested simultaneously. 7.2 Method Measure and calculate the total surface area of each sample, surfaces plus edges, to an accuracy of2% and record the value obtained. Wash each sample, using the tongs (5.9) to hold the glass (as in subsequent
48、operations), three times with separate portions of water (see first paragraph of clause4), and then rinse with acetone (4.1). Dry the samples in the drying oven (5.6) at about110 C for60min, transfer to the desiccator (5.4) and allow to cool to room temperature. Then weigh each sample to an accuracy
49、 of0,1mg. Record the mass, m 1 , of each sample. Transfer800ml of a mixture of equal volumes of the sodium carbonate (4.5) and the sodium hydroxide(4.6) solutions to each test vessel (5.1). Immerse each test vessel in the heating bath (5.10) until the level of the liquid in the test vessel is the same as that of the liquid in the bath. Fit the condenser (5.2) to the lid of each test vessel and turn on the flow of water to the condenser jacket. Cover the open surfaces of the bath liquid and activate the stirrer or li
