25、) 1994-10-01EN61115:1993 BSI 01-2000 3 Introduction Most process or environmental analyzers are designed to work within specified limits of the properties of the sample fluid (e.g.pressure, dew-point) at the sample inlet as well as the outlet1,2. Moreover, process analyzers may need auxiliary fluids
26、 or other utilities for their correct function. It is the purpose of a sample handling system to connect one or more process analyzers with one or more source fluids and the environment, so that the requirements of the analyzer are met, and so that it is possible for the analyzer to work properly ov
27、er an acceptable period of time with an economically justified amount of maintenance work. (SeeAnnex A for the description of the purpose, functions and properties of sample handling systems.) Sample handling systems may fulfill the following functions1: sample extraction; sample transport; sample c
28、onditioning; exhaust stream disposal; supply of utilities; sample stream switching; performance monitoring and control. Some of the functions can be completely or partly fulfilled by components which are integral parts of an analyzer or which are external to the sample handling system. For the purpo
29、se of this standard these components are not considered part of the sample handling system. The design of a sample handling system depends on the properties of the source fluid, the process analyzer, and the disposal points. Furthermore, the design depends on the properties required for the complete
30、 measuring device. Testing a sample handling system is very important. Due to the variety of system configurations and requirements for a system, many different test procedures are applied in practice, but in this standard only the test procedures which are used in most cases are specified. User and
31、 manufacturer may agree on additional test procedures, but these are not covered in this standard. 1 Scope and object 1.1 Scope This International Standard specifies the tests which should be carried out to determine the functional performance of sample handling systems. In addition it specifies the
32、 information to be provided by the manufacturers and users of such systems. It is applicable to: a) systems handling gaseous or liquid samples for process analyzers used for any ultimate purpose, e.g.process control, emission, ambient air monitoring, etc.; b) complete systems and system components;
33、c) power supplies and instrumentation for providing and controlling other utilities necessary for process analyzers or sample handling system components, only in so far as they are a functional part of the system; d) facilities for maintaining system performance; e) facilities for maintaining the pe
34、rformance of the process analyzer if these are part of the sample handling system and not the analyzer. NOTE 1This standard has been prepared in accordance with the general principles set out in IEC359. NOTE 2Requirements for general principles concerning quantities, units and symbols are given in I
35、SO1000 and recommendations for the use of their multiples and of certain other units in ISO31. 1.1.1 Aspects excluded from scope This standard does not cover: general aspects of process analyzers (seeIEC746 for electrochemical analyzers); NOTEAn IEC standard is in preparation for gas analyzers. elec
36、tric safety requirements (seeIEC348); safety aspects concerning explosive or toxic hazards; aspects concerning applications where regulations or legal metrology are involved, such as atmospheric pollution. For such aspects more elaborate work going on inside ISO such as ISO6712 applies; requirements
37、 for output signals (seeIEC381-1 and IEC381-2); influence of environmental conditions (seeIEC68). 1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope This standard does not apply to: systems for handling solid samples; equipment intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres (seeIEC79-0 to IEC79-12).EN61115:1993 4 B
38、SI 01-2000 1.2 Object This standard is intended to specify and to unify the general aspects in the terminology and definitions related to the functional performance of sample handling systems for process analyzers; to specify the tests which, in most cases, should be performed to determine the funct
39、ional performance of sample handling systems; to specify what information should be available for the manufacturer of sample handling systems. This information may be provided by the user or the manufacturer of process analyzers or by the manufacturer of sample handling system components; to specify
40、 what information should be available for the user of sample handling systems. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

44、mation in relation to a quantity of one or more components present in a fluid mixture or in relation to physical or chemical properties of a fluid which depend on its composition NOTEFor on-line or extractive process analyzers a sample stream is extracted from the source fluid and transported to the
45、 analyzer. With an in-line or in situ analyzer the measurement is performed within the source fluid. 3.1.2 sample handling system a system which connects one or more process analyzers with the source fluid, disposal points and utilities NOTE 1A sample handling system may extract the required sample
46、stream from one or more source fluids and condition it in order to meet all the input requirements of the process analyzer so that an accurate measurement of the properties under investigation is possible. The system may also ensure the appropriate disposal of exhaust streams and the supply of utili
47、ties as necessary. Instrumentation for ensuring the proper function of a sample handling system component or for facilitating maintenance work is considered part of the sample handling system if it is a functional part of it. NOTE 2SeeAnnex A and Figure A.1 and Figure A.2 for a description of sample
48、 handling systems. NOTE 3Figure 1 gives a schematic example for the use of terms describing the functions of sample transport and exhaust stream disposal. 3.1.3 Sample extraction The function of those parts of a sample handling system which extract the required sample stream from the source fluid. N
49、OTEThe sample stream should be extracted in such a way that it is truly representative of the source fluid. 3.1.3.1 source fluid the source fluid (gas or liquid) from which the sample stream is extracted and of which the composition or properties are to be measured NOTE 1The source fluid may flow through a process line or fill a volume. Ambient air may also be the source fluid. NOTE 2The source fluid and the sample fluid in the sample line may consist of a combination of the following components:
