BS ISO 15859-1:2004

Aerospace series. Space systems. Fluid characteristics, sampling and test methods. Oxygen | Status: Current, Under review

1 Scope This part of ISO 15859 specifies the limit values for the composition of oxygen and establishes the sampling and test requirements applicable for the verification of the oxygen composition. This part of ISO 15859 is applicable to oxygen, used in both flight hardware and ground facilities, systems and equipment, of the following types and grades.

• — Type I: gaseous
  • — Grade A: standard, purging/pressurization,
  • — Grade CB: crew breathing,
  • — Grade F: fuel-cell;
• — Type II: liquid
  • — Grade A: oxidizer,
  • — Grade B: oxidizer,
  • — Grade F: fuel-cell.

This part of ISO 15859 is applicable to influents only within the specified limits herein. This part of ISO 15859 is applicable to any sampling operation required to ensure that, when the fluid enters the launch vehicle or spacecraft, the fluid composition complies with the limits provided hereafter or with any technical specification agreed to for a particular use.
