30、dition takes into account the influences of temperatures, settings of RPD, pre-conditionings, use of accessories, and others4 PrerequisitesIn order to implement this part of ISO 16900, at least the following parameters need to be specified in the relevant performance standard:a) number of test speci

31、mens;b) operating conditions of the RPD, e.g. possible air flow settings, charging status of batteries, influences from the temperature of operation;c) designated operational temperature range;d) appropriate RPD headform(s) and, if necessary, torso;e) any pre-conditioning.5 General test requirements

32、Unless otherwise specified, the values stated in this International Standard 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 conditions for testing shall be

33、 between 16 C and 32 C and (50 30) % RH. Any temperature limits specified shall be subject to an accuracy of 1 C.Where the assessment of the pass/fail criterion depends on a measurement, an uncertainty of measurement as specified in Annex A shall be given.6 PrincipleThe complete RPD is fitted to an

34、appropriate headform and, if necessary, torso and the RPD operated in accordance with the manufacturers instructions for use, unless prescribed otherwise by the performance standard. The air flow supplied by the RPD is measured as the air flow rate.Depending on the prerequisites given it might be re

35、quired to determine the air flow rate at conditions which result in the minimum flow rate or the maximum flow rate of the RPD. Depending on the design of the RPD, these air flow rates may be determined by possible flow settings of the RPD, initialization time, the charging status of the battery, dif

36、ferent filter types, alarm settings, the temperature of the RPD, including the temperature range for use, use of accessories, hose length, supply pressure, and other factors.Where it is necessary to manipulate the RPD in order to achieve, during subsequent tests, a constant flow equivalent to either

37、 the measured maximum or minimum flow, the procedure that has to be adopted will depend on the design of the RPD. Possible ways of achieving such adjustments are substituting the battery by an external variable controlled power supply, artificially increasing the pressure drop of the filters used, o

38、r artificially adjusting the air flow control system of the RPD.2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 16900-8:2015ISO 16900-8:2015(E)All results of measured air flow rates are deemed to be volumetric flow rates and shall be corrected to 20C, 1013 hPa according to Formula (1)QQkPTcormmm=(1)whereQcoris

40、w rate using zero back pressure method and measurement of the interactive flow rate.7.2 Measurement of flow rate using zero back pressure method7.2.1 GeneralThis test is suitable for RPD, where the interactive flow rate is constant, e.g. RPD with Respiratory Interface class L (loose fitting).7.2.2 T

41、est equipmentThe test equipment consists of the following: appropriate RPD headform, of the appropriate size; torso, where necessary; blower or suction device with the air flow capacity to blow or draw an appropriate amount of air. The required air flow capacity shall be greater than the maximum air

42、flow supplied by the RPD under test. The capacity usually needs to be above the flow rate which corresponds to the peak flow rate of the designated work rate class of the device. The air flow rate of the blower or suction device shall be controllable; suitable flow meter, calibrated in the range of

43、air flow to be measured; differential pressure sensor, with a precision of better than 5 Pa at 0 Pa; airtight box or lightweight bag of a volume between 10 l and 30 l with necessary airtight connections.7.2.3 Test procedure for RPD with a respiratory interface class TThe respiratory interface shall

44、be fitted to the appropriate headform and, if necessary, a torso. Respiratory interfaces of class T shall be fitted in a leaktight manner to the headform. A sealant might ISO 2015 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 16900-8:2015ISO 16900-8:2015(E)be necessary for this. The differential pressure sensor, the

45、flow meter, and the suction device shall be arranged as shown in Figure 1.The RPD shall be activated. The controllable suction device of the test equipment used to draw air from the mouth opening of the head form shall be switched on and adjusted such that the differential pressure sensor shows a co

46、nstant value of 0 5 Pa, when compared to the ambient pressure. The air flow rate measured by the flow meter is the average interactive flow rate.123457Key1 headform 5 controllable suction device2 respiratory interface class T 6 air flow of the RPD3 differential pressure sensor 7 air flow from contro
