Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 3585 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 48, Laboratory glassware and related apparatus, Subcommittee 5,
Quality of glassware.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 3585:1991),
which has been technically revised.
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

Introduction
It is the purpose of this International Standard to define and facilitate the
identification of a type of glass appropriate for laboratory glassware, glass
plant, pipeline and fittings.
The design of glass components is dependent on the coefficient of mean
linear thermal expansion and the ultimate tensile strength. Utilization
requires not only a product design which is satisfactory within temperature
and pressure limitations, but one which will also satisfy certain criteria for
chemical resistance.
Therefore, the glass, as distinct from the components made from it, shall
satisfy certain specified requirements. However, it is accepted that
methods of working the glass to achieve the various forms required in
practice can affect the properties of the glass.
The glass used for this application, referred to as “borosilicate glass 3.3”, is
resistant to both heat and chemicals. Its heat resistance characteristics are
defined by the nominal values given for physical properties. Its chemical
resistance characteristics are specified within stated limits, using standard
test methods to which reference is made in this International Standard.
The glass is deemed to be satisfactory for the construction of laboratory
glassware, glass plant, pipeline and fittings, while for the glass components
themselves, other relevant International Standards should be consulted.
Where nominal properties are given, they relate, unless otherwise
specified, to the range of temperatures of 20 �C to 300 �C. However, this
does not imply that products manufactured from this glass can necessarily
be used freely within this range, nor that they cannot be used outside this
range.
