ISO 2015 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 17621:2015ISO 17621:2015(E)IntroductionMany short-term detector tube
30、 measurement systems consist of a (length-of-stain) detector tube connected to an associated detector tube pump. When workplace air containing a particular chemical agent is drawn through the detector tube, a colour change takes place corresponding to the concentration.Such short-term detector tube
31、measurement systems have many applications. This International Standard refers to detector tubes used for workplace air monitoring. These detector tubes can be used for measurement tasks such as follows: determination of the presence or absence of an analyte; finding the approximate range of concent
32、ration; determination of the efficiency of control measurements; determination of emission sources and emission changes in time; determination of compliance with ceiling or short-term limit values, as long as the device covers the reference time period and the precision requirements for the measurem
33、ent.To cover the possible range of concentration that can be encountered in the workplace, a combination of two or more measurements using detector tubes with restricted but complementary and overlapping measuring ranges can also be used.This International Standard will enable the manufacturers, tes
34、t houses, certification bodies, and the users to adopt a consistent approach to the assessment of performance of short-term detector tube measurement systems.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 17621:2015Workplace atmospheres Short term detector tube measurement systems Requirements and test me
