Bottles are designed with a special, medium length Ts 10/18 joint and are retested for accuracy within ±0.2°C. Cap for side tube is medium length Ts 5/12 and has a small vent near the top. Body is conical for maximum stability and capacity is within 10 percent of nominal shown on the flask. Each flask body is numbered for ready identification. The 50 mL size is indicated in the determination of the specific gravity of pigments (ASTM D153).
