Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to

14、be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Stand

28、I 04-2000 6 Sampling techniques 6.1 General Dew point can be measured at atmospheric pressure or under actual pressure conditions. The pressure to which the dew point is referred shall be stated. It is important that the air flow is controlled within the upper and lower limits to prevent damage to t

29、he probe and to ensure that a representative measurement is made. 6.2 Probe installation 6.2.1 Full flow measurement The probe is inserted in the main air flow stream, but protected against free water and other contaminants and used within the stated lower and upper limits of flow velocity for the m

30、easurement system. 6.2.2 Partial flow measurement 6.2.2.1 Bypass The probe is installed in a small bypass tube. In this way the flow velocity to which the probe is exposed may be controlled. 6.2.2.2 Extraction The probe is installed in a small extraction tube which conducts an air sample from the ma

31、in air flow stream into the measurement chamber, where the measurement is made under system pressure. 6.2.3 Reduced-pressure measurement The probe is installed in a chamber into which an air flow is fed from the main air stream. Before measurement, the pressure is reduced to a suitable measuring pre

32、ssure (normally atmospheric). 6.3 Requirements on sampling and measurement conditions 6.3.1 The measurements carried out depend on the reproducibility of the method and the experience of the parties involved in the provision of measurement facilities. 6.3.2 Materials used for conducting the air into

33、 the sampling system shall not affect the water vapour content of the sample. SeeC.2 inAnnex C. 6.3.3 The sampling system pressure shall be recorded during measurement. 6.3.4 The sampling system temperature shall be higher than the measured dew point. 6.3.5 The measurement system shall have reached

34、a steady state before any measurement takes place and shall be kept steady during measurement. The readings from two consecutive measurements taken with at least20min interval shall not differ by more than the accuracy of the measuring system. 7 Measurement methods Table 2 toTable 9 list a number of

35、 methods for humidity measurement, including limitations on application, measurement pressure and temperature. Descriptions of the different methods can be found inAnnex C. Some non-preferred methods are described inAnnex D. Consideration shall be given to the measurement system integrity and the ca

36、libration requirements of the measurement equipment which shall be used as described in applicable instructions and International Standards. It shall be proven that the equipment used is capable of achieving the uncertainty required within the specified range and tolerance. Any method shall only be

37、used within the upper or lower limits of its range of operation. Check and consider calibration records.

45、.1 Reference conditions Unless otherwise agreed, the reference conditions for humidity statements are: 8.2 Recalculation for deviating pressure When necessary, the obtained value can be referred to another pressure (reference pressure) using the absolute pressure values and partial pressures. SeeAnn

46、ex B. 8.3 Recalculation for deviating temperature Normally not required except in the case of relative humidity. 8.4 Recalculation for influence of other contaminants Some contaminants, particularly molecules which have a structure similar to water molecules, may disturb the measurements. Therefore

47、these shall be eliminated from the sample before measurement takes place. If this is not possible, then an evaluation shall be made to determine the uncertainty caused by these contaminants. 9 Conversions from non-standard humidity units to standard format and vice versa 9.1 Relative humidity The re

48、lative humidity value for a known air sample at a known temperature can be recalculated to a dew point temperature using the table in ISO7183:1986, Annex C, which gives values for saturation pressures and densities of water vapour at different temperatures. Read the saturation vapour pressure for th

49、e actual temperature and multiply this by the percentage relative humidity. In the table, read the dew point temperature corresponding to the actual partial vapour pressure. 9.2 Dew point Dew point at atmospheric pressure (1 bar absolute) is erroneously but commonly referred to as “atmospheric dew point”. It represents an imaginary dew point and is not an acceptable term for describing the water content. 9.3 Mixing ratio (or specific humidity) W
