RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN ISO STANDARDS IN THE FIELD OF COMPRESSED AIR ANALYSIS & CHARACTERISING COMPRESSED AIR FILTER PERFORMANCE

摘要

The ISO 8573 series of international standards details methods of measurement for determining compressed air purity, and its sister series under the heading ISO 12500 details methods of test for filtration and purification equipment. In 2008, they combined to total 11 published standards in all with two subject to ballot review, three at various draft stages and a further three under consideration. This paper details the current 5 year review status of the published standards, an update on the production of the ISO 8573-1 review document, an insight to the new IS012500-3 Particulates test standard and presents data obtained using the IS012500-4 Water Separation Efficiency DIS draft.
