BS ISO 12500-2:2007

Filters for compressed air. Test methods. Oil vapours | Status: Under review, Current

1 Scope This part of ISO 12500 specifies the test layout and test procedures required for testing hydrocarbon vapour adsorbentfilters used in compressed-air systems to determine their effectiveness in removing hydrocarbon vapours. The performance characteristics to be identified are

• — adsorptive capacity;
• — pressure drop (Δp).

This part of ISO 12500 defines one method of presenting filter performance as hydrocarbon vapour capacity, expressed in milligrams, from results obtained under test conditions.
