What is BS 2069- Gas sampling tubes about?
BS 2069 discusses specifications for gas sampling tubes. BS 2069 specifies two types of gas sampling tubes, each in two sizes, suitable for general laboratory use, and allowing interchangeable fitting in carrying cases.
Two types of gas sampling tubes are specified:
- Type 1. With straight stopcocks, in nominal capacities of 100 and 250 ml
- Type 2. With double oblique bore stopcocks, in nominal capacities of 100 and 250 ml
Who is BS 2069- Gas sampling tubes for?
BS 2069 on specifications for gas sampling tubes is useful for:
- Gas sampling tube manufacturers
- Laboratory equipment manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS 2069- Gas sampling tubes?
The need for this BS 2069 arises principally from the fact that gas sampling tubes are commonly fitted in carrying cases, so it is very convenient for the user to be able to obtain replacements from any source of supply to fit the original case.
The dimensions affecting interchangeable fitting into a carrying case are the only mandatory ones in the specification because so long as the stopcocks are ground to prevent leakage, the other features do not, in general, affect the performance or utility of a gas sampling tube.
BS 2069 provides you with guidance on materials required for the construction of gas sampling tubes. BS 2069 guides you on the construction and dimensions of gas sampling tubes. BS 2069 also gives guidance on the markings. BS 2069 helps you manufacture high-quality gas sampling tubes.
