A Proposed Standard Formula for a Glass for Lampworkers

JSGT 1919 V03 T249-T253 (5 pages)

On the occasion of the annual meeting of the British Laboratory Ware Association, Ltd., in January last, a request was made to one of us to undertake an investigation which would secure a much needed and ample supply of glass tubing of uniformly good quality of British manufacture for lamp-workers. This subject was brought before the committee on the standardisation of laboratory glassware of the Society of Chemical Industry, but as its terms of reference, did not include standardisation of glass tubing, no action was taken. A research committee of the Society of Glass Technology has been appointed, however, the scope of which includes lampworking glass as well as other types.
