The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each

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

12、 Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards ad

13、opted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of pat

23、ral test requirementsUnless otherwise specified, the values stated in this part of ISO 16900 are expressed as nominal values. Except for temperature limits, values which are not stated as maxima or minima shall be subject to a tolerance of 5 %. Unless otherwise specified, the ambient temperature for

24、 testing shall be between 16C and 32C and (50 30) % relative humidity.

The concentration of aerosol downstream of the

25、 filter divided by the aerosol concentration upstream of the filter as measured on the same type of detector, multiplied by a factor of 100, is the percentage penetration of the filter under test.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16900-3:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 16900-3:2012ISO 16900-3:

26、2012(E)The two reference aerosols are sodium chloride and paraffin oil. The sodium chloride is a solid aerosol and the paraffin oil is a liquid aerosol.7 Apparatus7.1 GeneralThe test apparatus consists of four modules:a) aerosol generator;b) flow control;c) filter test chamber;d) aerosol detector.A

27、schematic drawing of an example for a test apparatus is shown in Figure 1.Key1 aerosol generator2 compressed air supply3 flow control module4 air bleed (test flows less than the output of the generator)5 make-up air (test flows greater than the output of the generator)6 filter test chamber7 filter u

29、 chloride (NaCl) aerosol shall be neutralized by the injection of both positive and negative ions into the drying or dilution air flow so that the charge distribution is brought to the state of equilibrium, commonly known as the Boltzmann distribution. Paraffin aerosol shall not be neutralized since

30、 this increases variability in the test results.NOTE The ions should be generated by electrical means and adjusted so that there is no overall charge bias on the aerosol.7.2.2 Sodium chloride test method7.2.2.1 The test aerosol is generated by atomising by compressed air a solution of sodium chlorid

31、e in demineralized water. The atomized solution is mixed with dry air to cause the water to evaporate. The resultant aerosol shall have the following properties:a) the number median of particle size distribution is between 0,06 m and 0,10 m electromobility diameter, with a geometric standard deviati

32、on between 1,4 and 1,8;b) the aerosol concentration is within the range 8 mg/m3to 35 mg/m3;c) the variation of the concentration is not greater than 10 % during the test;d) the relative humidity is 40 % or less at (22 3) C.The aerosol mass concentration, particle size distribution and humidity shall

33、 be measured within the filter test chamber.NOTE It is recommended that an electrical mobility method be used to determine the particle size distribution. Additional information on electrical mobility measurements may be found in ISO 15900. 7.2.2.2 The NaCl solution shall be completely replaced and

34、not replenished in order to maintain the correct solution concentration.7.2.3 Paraffin oil test method7.2.3.1 The test aerosol is generated by atomising by compressed air the liquid paraffin oil. The paraffin oil characteristics at 20 C shall be:a) CAS number: 8012-95-1;b) density: 0,818 g/cm3to 0,8

35、75 g/cm3;c) dynamic viscosity: 0,025 Pas to 0,080 Pas; kinematic viscosity: 35 mm2/s (at 40 C: 13,5 mm2/s to 16,5 mm2/s).7.2.3.2 Laboratories shall consider the following:a) paraffin oil in the test rig shall be replaced with fresh oil every three months irrespective of use, or more frequently if ex

36、posed continuously to heating and compressed air;b) where the generator requires the oil to be heated, it is recommended not to heat the oil above 60 C.7.2.3.3 The paraffin aerosol shall have the following properties: ISO 2012 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 16900-3:2012ISO 16900-3:2012(E)a) the number

37、median of particle size distribution is between 0,16 m and 0,21 m electromobility diameter, with a geometric standard deviation between 1,4 and 1,8;b) the aerosol concentration is within the range 15 mg/m3to 35 mg/m3;c) the variation of the concentration is not greater than 10 % during the test.The

38、aerosol mass concentration and particle size distribution shall be measured within the filter test chamber.NOTE It is recommended that an electrical mobility method be used to determine the particle size distribution.Additional information on electrical mobility measurements may be found in ISO 1590

39、0.7.3 Flow control moduleThe flow control module is used to bleed off excess aerosol where the required test flow is less than the output of the aerosol generator.Where the performance standard calls for a flow in excess of the output of the aerosol generator, extra air shall be mixed with the outpu

40、t to increase the flow to the filter test chamber. Action shall be taken to ensure that the challenge concentration remains within the permissible range. If necessary, two or more aerosol generators may be used in parallel in order to maintain the challenge concentration within the specified range a

41、t high flow rates.Measurement of aerosol concentration and particle size distribution shall not be affected by the flow measuring device. This can be achieved by placing the flow measuring device downstream of the test chamber.7.4 Filter test chamberThe filter test chamber shall be sufficiently larg

42、e to accommodate the filter system under test and allow exposure of the entire filter working area to the aerosol. Care shall be taken that the influent aerosol is not directed preferentially on to one part of the filter or filter system unless this is caused by the filter design.The construction of

43、 the chamber shall be resistant to the aerosol, shall be leaktight and shall safely withstand any pressures, either positive or negative, that may be generated.The filter test chamber shall be designed to minimize air velocity variations across the surface of the filter under test. Localized high ai

44、r velocity (“jets”) may result in artificially high filter penetration.7.5 Aerosol detector7.5.1 GeneralThe aerosol detector shall have sufficient sensitivity and resolution to accurately determine penetrations to at least an order of magnitude better than the pass/fail criterion specified in the pe

45、rformance standard for the relevant class.The sampling flow rate should be minimized to reduce the effects of sampling on the aerosol within the test chamber or downstream of the filter. Where necessary, the sample shall be returned to the system to prevent errors in the determination of the test fl

46、ow rate.It is permissible to use two aerosol detectors, one monitoring the upstream concentration and one monitoring the downstream concentration, provided that they are both accurately calibrated for the appropriate aerosol size and concentration range in which they are used.7.5.2 Sodium chlorideTh

47、e sodium chloride aerosol shall be analysed by flame photometry.4 ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS ISO 16900-3:2012ISO 16900-3:2012(E)Sodium chloride particles in air passing through the flame tube are vaporized giving the characteristic sodium emission at 589 nm. The intensity of this emission is pro

48、portional to the concentration of sodium in the air flow.The intensity of the light emitted by the flame is measured by using a photomultiplier tube. To separate the sodium emission from background light of other wavelengths, a narrow band interference filter with appropriate sideband filters to rem

49、ove interference from H2O and CO2shall be used. As the photomultiplier output is only proportional to the incident light over a relatively small range, high light intensities are attenuated by neutral density filters.7.5.3 Paraffin oilThe reference detector is a forward light scattering photometer that has an effective scattering angle of up to 45. Other detectors may be employed provided equivalence to the reference detector can be demonstrated when using the test aerosol specified in 7.2.3.8 Meth
