DIN EN 12021:2014-07EN 12021:2014 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for the quality of compressed gas supplied for mixing or use in respiratory protective devices and hyper- and hypobaric operations. Account is taken of the use of compressed gas
22、es for normal atmospheric pressure as well as for hyper- and hypobaric pressures. This European Standard does not apply to compressed gases used for medical purposes or for aerospace applications. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this
23、 document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 132:1998, Respiratory protective devices - Definitions of terms and pictograms 3 Ter
24、ms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 132:1998 and the following apply. 3.1 hydrocarbon organic compound consisting of hydrogen and carbon 3.2 oil mixture of hydrocarbons and other organic compounds composed of six or more carbon atoms (C6+) 3.3
25、trimix gas comprising a specified mixture of oxygen, helium and nitrogen, capable of supporting human life under appropriate diving or hyperbaric conditions Note 1 to entry: This includes manufactured gas mixtures made up from combinations of pure oxygen, pure helium and pure nitrogen, with or witho
26、ut compressed air. 3.4 heliox gas comprising a specified mixture of oxygen and helium, capable of supporting human life under appropriate diving or hyperbaric conditions 3.5 oxygen and nitrogen gas mixture gas comprising a specified mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, capable of supporting human life un
27、der appropriate diving or hyperbaric conditions Note 1 to entry: Oxygen and nitrogen gas mixtures are also known as “nitrox”. Note 2 to entry: This definition does not cover gas mixtures produced using oxygen compatible air or nitrogen depleted air. DIN EN 12021:2014-07EN 12021:2014 (E) 5 3.6 oxygen
28、 compatible air compressed natural breathing air where the level of impurities has been reduced to make it suitable for use in gas mixtures including those containing oxygen concentrations greater than 22 % Note 1 to entry: Oxygen compatible air is also known in the diving industry as “oil free air”
29、, “clean air” or “double filtered air”. 3.7 nitrogen depleted air oxygen compatible air from which some nitrogen has been removed to make it suitable for use in, or as, a gas mixture containing oxygen concentrations greater than 22 % Note 1 to entry: Nitrogen depleted air is also known as “nitrox”.
30、3.8 oxygen enriched air compressed natural breathing air to which some oxygen has been added prior to compression and the level of some impurities reduced to make it suitable for use in or as a gas mixture containing oxygen concentrations greater than 22 % Note 1 to entry: Oxygen enriched air is als
31、o known as “nitrox”. 3.9 dewpoint at a specified pressure, the temperature at, or below which, condensation from the gas phase will occur Note 1 to entry: This also includes frost point. 3.10 synthetic air mixture of oxygen and nitrogen that has an oxygen content of (21 1) % Note 1 to entry: Synthet
32、ic air is also known as “nitrox”. 4 Units General use of SI units (see ISO 80000) as given throughout this International Standard is recommended. However, in agreement with accepted practice, some non-preferred SI units accepted by ISO are also used. EXAMPLE 100 kPa = 1,00 bar. IMPORTANT The acronym
33、 ppm (parts per million) is used throughout the world to indicate the absolute content of a substance within a mixture. So in this case the ml m3equivalent notation “ppm” has been used in brackets in the tables. In this European Standard ppm is understood as concentration of a gas in parts per milli
34、on per volume. 5 Reference conditions All data given in the tables or required in this European Standard are valid for normal atmospheric pressure (1 013 mbar absolute, 20 C). All percentage requirements are given in % by volume (dry gas). All pressures in this European Standard are in bar absolute.
35、 Typical composition of natural air is given in Annex A. DIN EN 12021:2014-07EN 12021:2014 (E) 6 Maximum allowable concentrations of impurities for compressed gases are quoted as values calculated at normal atmospheric pressure. 6 Requirements 6.1 General Compressed gas for breathing shall not conta
36、in contaminants at a concentration which can cause toxic or harmful effects. In any event, all contaminants shall be kept to as low a level as possible and shall be less than one tenth of a national 8 h exposure limit. For breathing air only the limit shall be less than one sixth of a national 8 h e
37、xposure limit. For breathing at hyperbaric pressures greater than 10 bar or exposure times greater than 8 h the levels shall be revised to take into account the effects of pressure and exposure times. In the absence of more stringent national regulations, the values in Table 1 to Table 10 shall be a
38、pplied. 6.2 Breathing air Typical composition of natural air is given in Annex A.

39、t sufficiently low to prevent condensation and freezing. Where the apparatus is used and stored at a known temperature the pressure dew point shall be at least 5 C below the likely lowest temperature. Where the conditions of usage and storage of any compressed air supply is not known the pressure de
40、w point shall not exceed 11 C.

42、es 6.3.1 General Where any of the gases specified in Table 4 to Table 10 are mixed to produce a breathing gas, the resultant gas mixture shall be tested for oxygen content. The oxygen content shall conform to the relevant value as given for the particular gas mixture, as applicable. Where any of the
43、 gases specified in Table 8 to Table 9 are mixed to create a diving breathing gas, the resultant gas mixture shall also be tested for helium content. The helium content shall conform to the relevant value as given for the particular gas mixture in Table 8 to Table 9, as applicable. As the purity and
44、 contaminant levels of the gases used for mixing are specified in Table 4 to Table 9 it is only the ratio of the mixing that needs to be confirmed. Therefore, post mixing, only the oxygen and, where applicable, the helium content need to be tested to confirm that the correct mixture has been achieve
