~HIS BRITISH STANDARD, having been approved by the Petroleum Equipment Industry Standards Committee and endo~sed 0:

by. the Chairman of the Engineering Divisional Council, was published under the authority of the General Council on

29th September, 1966.

First published, October, 1958.

First reYision, September, 1966.

The Institution desires to call attention to the fact that this British Standard does not purport to include all the neces~ary

. provisions of a contract. . . .

In order to keep abreast of' progress in the industries concerned, British Standards are subject to periodical review. Sug­

gestions for improvements will be recorded and in due course brought to the notice of the committees charged with 'the

. revision of the standards to which they refer.

A complete list of British Standards, numbering over 4000, fully indexed and with a note of the contents of each, will be

found in the British Standards Yearbook, The B.S. Yearbook may be consulted in many public libraries and

similar institutions.

This standard makes reference to the following British Standards:
