"ANSI C79.1-1904 Nomenclature for Glass Bulbs Intended for Use with Electric Lamps 1 Scope This standard desoribes a system of nomenclature that provides designations for glass bulbs used as the envelopes for electric lamps. This system is shown in customary (inch-based) units and SI (metric) units, The nomenclature system is intended for application with bulbs that originate both as parts and as stock As a part, a bulb is assembled directly into a finished lamp without major alterations. As stock, a bulb may be re-worked or altered during lamp assembly, while maintaining its basic Identifying characteristics. 2 Normative references “The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this American National Standard.

During this transition period either of two types of designations, customary or metric, or dual designation ‘showing both units, may be used. ‘The relationship of customary, decimal and metric nomenclature for existing bulbs is shown in the Annex. Committee C79 shall develop any additional conversions that may be necessary. 5.1 Customary units ‘The nominal value of a bulb’s major diameter shall be the basis of the bulb size unit. The unit shall bo expressed in eighths of an inch, with fractions added when necessary. A tubular shaped bulb, for example, 1-1/4 inches (10/8ths) in diameter is called a T10 bulb.

The number to the left of the diagonal shal! indicate the average major bulb diameter above the CD line; the number to the right of the diagonal shall indicate the average diameter of the bulb neck at the CD tine. 5.2.2 Fluorescent bulbs For fluorescent bulbs the two-number symbol described in 5.2.1 shall be used. The number to the left of the diagonal shall designate the puto diameter in millimeters (to the nearest whole number); the number to the right of the dlagonal shall designate the base line length to the closest tenth of a millimeter. 5.2.3 Round PAR Only one number shall be used to designate round PAN-type glass bulbs.
