6、tment is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of instrumentation standards, recommended practices, and technical reports. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA u

7、sers of ISA Standards of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce SI and acceptable metric units as optional alternatives to English units in all n

8、ew and revised standards, recommended practices, and technical reports to the greatest extent possible. The Metric Practice Guide, which has been published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers as ANSI/IEEE Standard 268-1982, and future revisions, will be the reference guide for d

17、s to establish a standard for instrument quality air.3 Definitions3.1 ambient temperature: The temperature of the medium surrounding a device.3.2 dew point temperature: The temperature, referred to at a specific pressure, at which water vapor condenses.10 ANSI/ISA-7.0.01-19963.3 elements of measurem

18、ent and control systems: Functional units or integrated combinations thereof that ensure the transducing, transmitting, or processing of measured values, control quantities or variables, and reference variables. A valve actuator in combination with a current to pressure transducer, valve positioner,

19、 or a booster relay is considered an element that receives the standard pneumatic transmission signal or standard electric current transmission signal.3.4 instrument quality air: Air, which is the working media for various devices, that has been treated to minimize liquid and particulate matter. NOT

20、E Some individual devices may require further conditioning of the air (filtration, dehumidification) to ensure reliable operation.3.5 lower limit: The lowest value of the measured variable that a device can be adjusted to measure.3.6 measured value: The numerical quantity resulting, at the instant u

21、nder consideration, from the information obtained by a measuring device.3.7 micrometer (m): A metric measure with a value of 10-6meters or 0.000001 meter (previously referred to as “micron“).3.8 parts per million (ppm): Represents parts per million and should be given on a weight basis. The abbrevia

22、tion shall be ppm (w/w). If inconvenient to present data on a weight basis (w/w), it may be given in a volume basis; (v/v) must be stated after the term ppm; e.g., 5 ppm (v/v) or 7 ppm (w/w).3.9 pneumatic controller: A device that compares the value of a variable quantity or condition to a selected

23、reference and operates by pneumatic means to correct or limit the deviation.3.10 pneumatic transmission system: A system that develops an output directly corresponding to the input information for conveying informationcomprising a transmitting mechanism that converts input information into a corresp

24、onding air pressure, interconnecting tubing, and a receiving element responsive to air pressure.3.11 pressure dew point: The dew point value at line pressure of the compressed air system (usually measured at the outlet of the dryer system or at any instrument air supply source prior to pressure redu

25、ction). When presenting or referencing dew point, the value shall be given in terms of the line pressure; e.g., -40C (-40F) dew point at 690 kPa (approximate) (100 psig).3.12 range of a pneumatic transmission signal: The range determined by the lower and upper limit of the signal pressure.3.13 relat

26、ive humidity: The ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the partial pressure of water vapor contained in the air at a given temperature and pressure to the maximum partial pressure of water vapor that could be present at the same temperature under saturated conditions.3.14 span: The algebraic differe

27、nce between the upper and lower range values.3.15 supply pressure: The pneumatic supply pressure that enables the system element to generate the pneumatic transmission signals specified to provide the final device with required operational force.3.16 upper limit: The highest value of the measured va

28、riable that a device can be adjusted to measure.ANSI/ISA-7.0.01-1996 114 Instrument air system designThe specifications for instrument air systems vary in order to meet a range of application requirements. This makes the specification of any specific design requirements impractical, but in general,

29、a properly designed instrument air system shoulda) provide a sufficient quantity of air to supply the highest anticipated load plus margin for future growth including leakage;b) provide the quality air required by the user; andc) provide for maintenance and testing of the system.5 Instrument air, qu

30、ality standardThis Standard establishes four elements of instrument air quality for use in pneumatic instruments (see Annex B.2).5.1 Pressure dew pointThe pressure dew point as measured at the dryer outlet shall be at least 10C (18F) below the minimum temperature to which any part of the instrument

31、air system is exposed. The pressure dew point shall not exceed 4C (39F) at line pressure. A monitored alarm is preferred; however, if a monitored alarm is unavailable, per shift monitoring is recommended. See Annex B.2.1. See Table B-1, Note 3 when using a refrigerant dryer.5.2 Particle sizeA maximu

32、m 40 micrometer particle size in the instrument air system is acceptable for the majority of pneumatic devices. Pneumatic devices that require instrument air with less than 40 micrometer particle sizes shall have additional filtration to meet the particulate size limit for the device.Subsequent to a

33、ny maintenance or modification of the air system, maximum particle size in the instrument air system should be verified to be less than 40 micrometers.12 ANSI/ISA-7.0.01-19965.3 Lubricant contentThe lubricant content should be as close to zero as possible, and under no circumstances shall it exceed

34、one (1) ppm w/w or v/v. Any lubricant in the compressed air system shall be evaluated for compatibility with end-use pneumatic devices. For example, the use of automatic oilers is strongly discouraged.* 5.4 ContaminantsInstrument air should be free of corrosive contaminants and hazardous gases, whic

35、h could be drawn into the instrument air supply. The air system intake should be monitored for contaminants. If contamination exists in the compressor intake area, the intake should be moved to a different elevation or location free from contamination. Some sources of contamination area) painting;b)

36、 chemical cleaning; andc) engine exhaust.*For details on why the use of automatic oilers is strongly discouraged, read the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Inspection Report IN 95-53 (refer to Annex A). Some cylinder-type actuators recommend a lubricant. If an in-line automatic oiler is u

37、sed in such a case, the location of the oiler must be selected to minimize the amount of the air system exposed to the lubricant. Also, the other control devices exposed to the lubricant must be of compatible material. The typical installation for an automatic oiler is at the point of use. Often the

38、 oiler is an integral part of an actuator assembly.ANSI/ISA-7.0.01-1996 13Annex A ReferencesNOTE This annex is for information purposes only and is not part of ISA-7.0.01.AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INSTITUTE (ANSI)ANSI/B93.2 Fluid Power Systems and Products, 1986ANSI/B93.45M Pneumatic Fluid Power, C
