Overview

ISO 4785:1997 specifies requirements, dimensions and construction details for straight-bore glass stopcocks for general laboratory use. It defines two series of nominal bore sizes, ground‑zone geometry and surface-finish limits, material recommendations and marking/designation rules to ensure reliable, interchangeable stopcocks used in chemical and analytical laboratories.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Two series of nominal bores
  • Series I: 1, 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10 mm
  • Series II: 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 mm
• Ground zone taper and finish
  • Taper: one increment in diameter per ten increments of axial length (tolerance ±0.006 on diameter increment)
  • Surface roughness (centreline average height): ≤ 1 µm, preferably < 0.5 µm (as defined in ISO 468)
• Dimensions and tolerances
  • Detailed dimensions and tolerances for ground zones, bores, keys and barrels are given in the standard’s tables (tables 1–3).
  • Manufacturers are recommended to specify only one of the two series in national standards to promote interchangeability.
• Materials
  • Borosilicate glass 3.3 is the preferred material (ISO 3585); when tested per ISO 719 the glass shall meet class HGB3 or better.
  • Key and barrel should preferably be fabricated from the same glass type.
• Construction and assembly
  • Side arms must be fused to the barrel; a pin of thickness 0.8 × nominal bore must fit to at least the mid‑length of the bore.
  • The key may be solid or hollow; rims of barrels should be strengthened to avoid chipping.
• Designation and marking
  • Recommended designation format: ISO 4785, - (example: Stopcock ISO 4785, 4 - 18.8)
  • The large end diameter of the ground zone must be permanently marked on the barrel.

Applications and who uses this standard

• Laboratory glassware manufacturers - design and produce stopcocks that are dimensionally interchangeable and meet quality/tolerance requirements.
• Quality control and inspection teams - verify taper, surface finish, material class and marking for conformity.
• Procurement and specification writers - cite ISO 4785 when specifying general‑purpose stopcocks for research, teaching and industrial labs.
• Calibration/test laboratories and standards bodies - use as a reference for compatibility with other lab glassware.

Related standards

Relevant cross‑references cited by ISO 4785 include:

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is
normally carried out through IS0 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. IS0 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.
This International Standard IS0 4785 has been prepared by Technical Committee lSO/TC 48,
Laboratory glassware and related apparatus, Subcommittee SC 2, General laboratory glassware
(other than measuring apparatus).
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

This International Standard specifies requirements and dimensions for two series of glass
straight-bore stopcocks for general-purpose use. The stopcocks are defined by their nominal
(bore) diameter and large end diameter and length of the ground zone. It is recommended that, in
national standards, only one of the series should be specified.
Annex A lists additional International Standards for other general-purpose laboratory glassware.

3.1 The taper of the ground zone shall be such as to give one increment on the diameter for ten
increments on the axial length, with a tolerance of & 0,006 on the diameter increment i.e. a taper
