It supersedes BS3731:1977 which is withdrawn. In this revision the requirements relating to matched pairs of blocks have

9、 been altered to take account of production difficulties, and the opportunity has been taken to make certain other requirements more specific. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct appli

10、cation. 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 cover, pagesi andii, pages1to6, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and

11、 may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS3731:1987 BSI 01-2000 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for hollow or solid, single or double vee blocks made from cast iron or steel and solid vee blocks made from g

12、ranite, normally with a90 included vee angle though the provisions of this standard are applicable to vee blocks with included vee angles other than90 . Two grades of accuracy,1 and2, are specified, and provision is made for matched pairs. NOTE 1Appendix A andAppendix B respectively deal with recomm

13、ended dimensions for vee blocks with a maximum capacity of200mm diameter and with methods of test. NOTE 2The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Nomenclature and definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the nomenclature shown in

14、Figure 1 and the following definitions apply. 2.1 designating size the diameter of the maximum cylinder that the block will accommodate leaving1mm beyond the lines of contact 2.2 deviation from flatness the minimum distance separating two parallel planes between which the surface can just be contain

15、ed 2.3 deviation from parallelism of two surfaces the variation in distance between one of the surfaces and a datum plane when the other surface is in contact with the datum plane 2.4 deviation from squareness of two surfaces the minimum distance between two parallel planes which just enclose one su

16、rface and are perpendicular to a datum plane in contact with the other surface 2.5 working faces the vee flanks, base, top, end, and side faces 2.6 vee axis the axis of a cylinder in contact with the length of the vee flanks 3 Classification Vee blocks are classified as grade1 or2 according to their

17、 accuracy as specified in clause8. 4 Materials 4.1 Steel vee blocks The steel shall be sound and free from defects. The surface hardness shall be not less than700HV and the block shall be stabilized. 4.2 Cast iron vee blocks Close-grained cast iron not inferior to grade180 of BS1452 shall be used. T

18、he castings shall be free from blowholes or porous patches. The plugging of minor defects with a material of a similar composition is permitted provided that such a repair does not affect stability or accuracy. Grade 1 vee blocks shall be heat treated to have a hardness value of not less than500HV.

19、NOTEGrade 2 vee blocks may be hardened or left unhardened. 4.3 Granite vee blocks The granite shall be close-grained and of uniform texture and colour, sound and free from flaws and fissures and from inclusions of softer materials. 5 General features 5.1 There shall be a minimum length of vee flank

20、of1mm beyond the lines of contact with the maximum diameter cylinder. NOTEAn undercut at the bottom of the vee is permissible providing there is a minimum length of flank of1mm below the line of contact of a5mm diameter cylinder. 5.2 When threaded holes or threaded inserts are provided they shall be

21、M6 16H complying with the requirements of BS3643-2. NOTEThe positions of threaded holes or threaded inserts may be specified by the manufacturer or be as requested by the purchaser. 6 Finish 6.1 Grade 1 vee blocks shall have a ground and/or lapped finish on all working faces. Grade2 vee blocks shall

22、 be finished by a similar process or by planing, shaping or milling. 6.2 There shall be no sharp edges. 7 Clamps When clamps are supplied they shall be sufficiently robust to secure cylinders within the capacity of the vee block. NOTEIn order to facilitate the use of vee blocks when located on their

23、 side faces, it is recommended that clamps be designed so that the clamp body does not extend beyond the side faces of the block.BS3731:1987 2 BSI 01-2000 8 Accuracy 8.1 Grade 1 vee blocks Grade 1 vee blocks shall be geometrically accurate within the permitted deviations given inTable 1. Deviation o

24、f working faces from flatness shall not be such that they are convex. 8.2 Grade 2 vee blocks Grade 2 vee blocks shall be geometrically accurate within the permitted deviations given inTable 2. Deviations of working faces from flatness shall not be such that they are convex. 8.3 Matched pairs The tol

25、erances in columns2 to8 ofTable 1 andTable 2 apply to each individual block in the pair, appropriate to the grade. In addition, the variations in the pair shall not exceed the values given in column9 of the respective tables for the following features: a) heights of the vee axes above the bases; b)

26、widths between the vee axes and the preferred side faces; c) widths between the vee axes and the non-preferred side faces. Figure 1 NomenclatureBS3731:1987 BSI 01-2000 3 The preferred orientation of each block in a pair shall be indicated by the manufacturer. NOTEAttention is drawn to the fact that

27、if these latter requirements are to be met, advantage cannot be taken of the whole of the tolerances for individual blocks. 9 Container Grade1 vee blocks shall be supplied in a container. 10 Protection against climatic conditions During storage and transit steel and cast iron vee blocks shall be pro

28、tected against climatic conditions.

36、ccuracy of the vee block: a) the manufacturers name or trade mark; b) the number and date of this British Standard,i.e.BS3731 1) ; c) the grade of accuracy (grade1 or grade2); d) matched pairs of vee blocks shall bear a suitable pairing symbol,e.g.A andB. NOTE 1All vee blocks that are to be certifie

37、d by a testing authority are required to bear a serial number. NOTE 2It is recommended that the designating size be marked on the block. 1) Marking BS3731 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity,i.e. a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the pro

38、duct meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirable.BS3731:1987 BSI 01-2000 5 Appendix A Recomm

39、ended general dimensions Recommended general dimensions for steel and cast iron vee blocks are given inTable 3,Table 4 andTable 5. Because of the nature of the material, special consideration has been given to granite vee blocks and recommended general dimensions are given inTable 6. Table 3 Dimensi

43、 placed in the vee seeFigure 5a). The cylinder should extend beyond the end faces of the block. B.1.2 Parallelism of the vee axis to the side faces and its centrality can be determined in a similar manner, but using the side faces in turn as a datum seeFigure 5b). B.1.3 Squareness of the vee axis to

44、 the end faces can be determined using a precision cylinder, with a flange or tee piece, using the end faces in turn as a datum seeFigure 5c). Squareness should be determined in two planes at90,i.e.parallel to the base and parallel to the side faces. NOTEAny error in squareness of the flange or tee

45、piece to the precision cylinder can be determined by rotating the cylinder through180 . B.2 Equality of matched pairs A method similar to that described inB.1.1 is also recommended for checking the heights of the vee axes above the base in matched pairs of vee blocks (see8.3), but in this case heigh

46、t readings should be taken over the minimum and maximum cylinders that can be accommodated by the blocks in question. Measurement of the widths between the vee axes and side faces over the length of the vees can also be determined by means of these cylinders. B.3 Equality of semi-angles Equality of

47、the semi-angles of the vee is conveniently checked by means of a sine table and test indicator.
