9、on for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established ha

10、s 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 Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Inte

11、rnational 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 adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publica

12、tion 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 patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rig

13、hts. ISO 21018-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 131, Fluid power systems, Subcommittee SC 6, Contamination control. ISO 21018 consists of the following parts, under the general title Hydraulic fluid power Monitoring the level of particulate contamination of the fluid: Part 1: General pri

14、nciples Part 3: Use of the filter blockage technique A Part 2, dealing with the calibration and verification procedure for field contamination monitoring, and a Part 4, dealing with the use of the light extinction technique, are under development. BS ISO 21018-1:2008vIntroduction In hydraulic fluid

15、power systems, power is transmitted through a liquid under pressure within a closed circuit. The liquid is both a lubricant and power-transmitting medium. The presence of solid particulate contamination in the liquid interferes with the ability of the hydraulic liquid to lubricate and causes wear to

16、 the components. The extent of this form of contamination in the liquid has a direct bearing on the performance and reliability of the system and it is necessary that this be controlled to levels that are considered appropriate for the system concerned. Hydraulic filters are used to control the amou

17、nt of particulate contamination to a level that is suitable for both the contaminant sensitivity of the system and the level of reliability required by the user. Operators of hydraulic equipment are gradually defining maximum particle concentration levels for components, systems and processes, beyon

18、d which corrective actions are implemented to normalize the levels. These are often referred to as the required cleanliness level (RCL). The cleanliness level is obtained by sampling the hydraulic liquid and measuring the particulate contamination level. If the level is above the RCL, then correctiv

19、e actions are necessary to restore the situation. To avoid taking unnecessary actions, which can often prove costly, precision in sampling and measuring the particulate contamination level is required. A comprehensive range of measurement equipment is available, but the instruments used are usually

20、laboratory-based. This often requires that the equipment is operated in a special environment by specialist laboratories and this delays delivery of the test result to the user. To overcome this disadvantage, instruments are being continuously developed to determine the particulate contamination lev

21、el, either using equipment that can be operated in or near the workplace or directly using on-line or in-line techniques. For equipment operated in the workplace, direct traceability to national measurement standards might not be appropriate, or relevant, and the instruments are used to monitor the

22、general level of particulate contamination or to inform the user of a significant change in the level. When a significant change in the particulate contamination level is detected, the actual level is then usually qualified by using an approved particle-counting method. Also, these monitors can have

23、 simplified circuitry compared to similar laboratory units and this means that they are not so precise. In addition, some instruments are designed to work on the “go/no-go” principle and their ability to rapidly evaluate the cleanliness level has resulted in an increase in their usage both in the fl

24、uid power industry and other markets. Unfortunately, the lack of a standardized method for their use, recalibration (if applicable) and means of checking the output validity means that the variability in the measurement data is at a level higher than is desirable. This International Standard has bee

25、n developed to provide uniform and consistent procedures for instruments that are used for monitoring the contamination levels in hydraulic systems, especially those where direct traceability to national measurement standards is not possible or is not applicable.

26、luid power Monitoring the level of particulate contamination of the fluid Part 1: General principles 1 Scope This part of ISO 21018 specifies methods and techniques that are applicable to the monitoring of particulate contamination levels in hydraulic systems. It also describes the relative merits o

27、f various techniques so that the correct monitor for a given application can be selected. The techniques described in this part of ISO 21018 are suitable for monitoring a) the general cleanliness level in hydraulic systems, b) the progress in flushing operations, c) support equipment and test rigs.

28、This part of ISO 21018 can also be applicable for other liquids (e.g. lubricants, fuels and process liquids). NOTE Instruments used to monitor particulate contamination are not considered as or claimed to be particle counters, even if they use the same physical principles as particle counters. 2 Nor

B.2.3 Limitations The following key limitations have been identified. a) It requires a high concentration of particles for accurate detection 19/17/1

41、4 (see ISO 4406:1999). b) The particle size distribution is based upon particle volume. c) It is not generally used in the fluid power industry. d) The test set-up can be bulky. e) It cannot be used with multi-phase liquids. B.3 Electrical sensing zone B.3.1 Outline An electrically conducting liquid

42、 is drawn through a small, electrically insulated orifice having electrodes positioned in the liquid on either side of the orifice. When no particles are present, the impedance between the electrodes remains constant. When a particle having a conductivity different from that of the liquid passes thr

43、ough the orifice, it generates an electrical pulse proportional to the volume of the particle. This type of unit is not frequently used for monitoring oil-based systems as the analysis process involves a number of other stages, either separating the particles and re-suspending them in an electrolyte

44、 or preparing a series of chemicals to make the oil conducting. The technique can be used in systems with water-based liquids. Also see ISO 13319. BS ISO 21018-1:200817B.3.2 Key features The following key features have been identified. a) It can accommodate a wide particle size range (0,5 m to 1 500

45、 m) by using different analytical orifices. b) It provides precise, volumetric measurements. c) It gives the particle-size distribution. d) It typically has an analysis time of 5 min if the sample is analysed directly. B.3.3 Limitations The following key limitations have been identified. a) It can b

46、e used only for off-line analysis. b) It requires the test liquid to be electrically conducting. c) It is necessary that the electrical conductivity of the particulate contamination present in the test sample be different from that of the carrier liquid. d) The sample time is extended (typically by

47、20 min to 40 min) when the sample liquid is non-conducting. e) It is not widely used in the fluid power industry. B.4 Filter blockage method B.4.1 Outline The principle of the filter-blockage method is the determination of the change in the characteristics of a filter mesh or screen having a known n

48、umber of uniform openings (or pores) as the contaminated liquid passes through it. Particles greater in size than the pore are removed and the filter gradually blocks up. This causes either the differential pressure across the filter to increase (constant-flow principle) or a reduction in the flow r

49、ate through the filter (constant-differential-pressure principle). The concentration of particles in the test liquid sample with a size greater than the filter pore size can then be estimated either by considering the number of blocked pores (degree of blockage) and the volume of liquid that passed through the filter or by calibration. The test result is converted into a cleanliness code (see ISO 4406). As the pressure drop across the filter is proportional to the viscosity, it is necessary to correct the data from constant flow units for c
