BS 1797,
11、 Tables for use in the calibration of volumetric glassware. This British Standard specifies three sizes of flask, suitable for use in viscosity determination and chemical analysis, and in particular for the following purposes: 50 ml. flask the determination of the viscosity of oils by means of the R
12、edwood apparatus. 100 ml. flask the analysis of sugars. 1) 200 ml. flask the determination of the viscosity of oils by means of the Engler apparatus. This British Standard was first published in1936. At that time three special sizes of flask for use in the sugar industry were included, but in view o
13、f the negligible demand for these in recent years they have now been omitted. The present revision has been brought into line with other specifications for volumetric glassware published since1949, by listing only the essential dimensions as mandatory and including the others for the guidance of man
14、ufacturers. Tests have shown that the requirement in Clause5 regarding stability on an inclined plane is readily satisfied by good quality flasks in current production. It has been suggested that after further consideration by the manufacturers it may be possible to increase the specified minimum an
15、gle of “topple” from10 to15 . SUBSIDIARY STANDARD TEMPERATURE OF 27 C. At the Second Meeting, in1951, of Technical Committee ISO/TC48 Laboratory Glassware and Related Apparatus, of the International Organization for Standardization. It was agreed to qualify as follows the acceptance of20 C. as the s
16、tandard temperature for volumetric glassware: “When it is necessary in tropical countries to work at an ambient temperature considerably above20 C., and these countries do not wish to use exclusively the standard temperature of20 C., it is recommended that they should adopt a temperature of27 C.” In
17、 order to meet the requirements of such tropical countries it has been decided to amend the British Standards for volumetric glassware to permit27 C., as an alternative to20 C. In the present British Standard this amendment applies to Clauses3 and 9, toAppendix B, and toFigure 1. In accordance with
18、the recommendations of Committee ISO/TC48 use of the inscription “In” is now recommended in place of “C” to indicate that the flask is graduated “to contain”. It is intended that this change shall become mandatory, when a revised edition of the standard is published. A British Standard does not purp
19、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
20、over, pages i and ii, pages1 to 4, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover. 1) A modified Kohlrausch flask of greater accuracy, intende
21、d for polarization work on raw and refined sugar, is specified in BS675, “Sugar flasks”.BS615:1953 BSI 02-2000 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies a range of Kohlrausch flasks suitable for use in viscosity determination and chemical analysis. 2 Sizes Three sizes of flask are specified, of capa
22、city50,100and200ml. respectively. 3 Definition of capacity The capacity of the flask is defined as the volume of water at20 C., expressed in millilitres, contained by the flask at20 C., when determined as described inAppendix B. 4 Material The flask shall be made of clear glass, as free as possible
23、from visible defects, and shall be well annealed. 5 Construction The general shape of the flask shall be as shown inFigure 1. It shall stand vertically on its base without rocking and shall not topple when placed empty on a surface inclined at an angle of10 to the horizontal. The junction between th
24、e wide and narrow parts of the neck shall be such as to facilitate the flow of liquid down the wall and there shall be no shoulder on which liquid can lodge. The flange at the top of the neck shall be turned over sharply and the mouth shall not be belled to any considerable distance from the top of
25、the neck. The flask shall be sufficiently robust in construction to withstand normal usage and the wall thickness shall show no gross departures from uniformity. 6 Dimensions The only mandatory dimensions for British Standard Kohlrausch flasks are those specified inTable 1. Table 2 provides for the
26、guidance of manufacturers further recommended dimensions suitable for Kohlrausch flasks. These dimensions are not a mandatory part of the specification, but a flask which, on visual inspection, shows any gross departure from them shall be deemed not to comply with the specification. Table 1 Mandator

30、ane parallel to the base. 8 Tolerances on capacity Two sets of tolerances are specified, namely Class A and Class B, as shown inTable 3. Table 3 Tolerances on capacity for Kohlrausch flasks 9 Inscriptions Each flask shall have permanently and legibly marked on it: a) The nominal capacity of the flas
31、k,e.g.“100ml.” b) Either the inscription “In20 C” or the inscription “C20 C” to indicate that the flask is graduated for content at20 C. c) An identification number, which is mandatory on Class A flasks and optional on Class B flasks. d) The makers or vendors name or mark. e) The number of this Brit
32、ish Standard, i.e.“BS615”, 2)and also the letter “A7” or “B” to indicate the class of accuracy for which the flask has been graduated. Tolerance Nominal capacity 50 ml. 100 ml. 200 ml. Class A ml. 0.04 0.06 0.1 Class B ml. 0.06 0.1 0.2 2) The mark “BS615” on the product is an indication by the manuf
33、acturer that it purports to comply with the requirements of this British Standard. The British Standards Institution is the owner of the registered certification mark shown below: which can be used by manufacturers only under licence from the BSI. The presence of this mark in addition to the mark “B
34、S615” on a product is an assurance that the product does in fact comply with the requirements of the standard. It indicates that the BSI has satisfied itself, by inspection and testing, that the system of production, supervision and control used by the manufacturer is such as to ensure compliance wi
35、th all the requirements of the standard. Maintenance of this approved system is secured by periodical inspection and testing on behalf of the BSI. The mark must be accompanied by the name or registered trade mark or licence number of the licensed manufacturer.BS615:1953 BSI 02-2000 3 Appendix A Test
36、ing of British Standard Kohlrausch flasks The National Physical Laboratory is prepared to accept flasks for examination for compliance with the Class A requirements of this British Standard. Certificates of values will be issued for satisfactory Class A flasks, if required. Particulars of the fees c
37、harged can be obtained on application to the Director, National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, Middlesex. Appendix B Method for the determination of capacity When determining the capacity of a flask the vessel shall first be thoroughly cleaned and dried. If hot air is used to speed up the process
38、of drying, care shall be taken that the flask settles down to room temperature before testing. The clean weighed flask shall then be filled with distilled water to a few millimetres above the graduation mark, care being taken to avoid wetting the neck of the flask above the water surface and also to
39、 avoid trapping any air bubbles on the walls of the flask. The lowest point of the water meniscus 3)shall be adjusted to the top edge of the graduation mark by withdrawing small amounts of water by means of a glass tube drawn out to a jet at its lower end. The weight of the water in the flask shall
40、then be determined. All operations shall be carried out at room temperature. The volume of water contained by the flask at20 C. shall be calculated from the weight thus determined by applying corrections for water temperature and, where necessary, air temperature and pressure (see BS 1797 4) ). 3) T
41、he meniscus can be clearly defined by folding a strip of black paper round the neck, the top edge of the paper being not more than1mm. below the graduation mark. The meniscus, so shaded, is viewed against a white background. 4) BS 1797, “Tables for use in the calibration of volumetric glassware”.BS6
