The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out thro
13、ugh ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has 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 collabor
14、ates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International 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 Standa
15、rds. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication 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 t
16、his document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 15403-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 193, Natural gas. This first edition of ISO 15403-1 cancels and replaces ISO 15403:2000, of which it constitutes a
17、 minor revision including the following changes: correction of the title to reflect that ISO 15403 is now formed of two parts; reformat the document in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, Fifth edition, 2004; reformat the references cited in Clause 2 and in the Bibliography, in accordanc
18、e with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, Fifth edition, 2004. ISO 15403 consists of the following parts, under the general title Natural gas Natural gas for use as a compressed fuel for vehicles: Part 1: Designation of the quality Part 2: Specification of the quality (Technical Report) BS EN ISO 15403
19、-1:2008ISO 15403-1:2006(E) ISO 2006 All rights reserved vIntroduction Natural gas has been used to some extent as a fuel for internal combustion engines in compressor stations, co-generation systems, and vehicles of various types for many years now. However, the prerequisites for growth, i.e. econom
20、ic viability and fuel availability, were generally not satisfied. Now, with the natural gas industry well established, supplying 20 % of the worlds primary energy, and the need for alternative, low-emission fuels, the situation has improved considerably. During the past decade, natural gas vehicles
21、have become a viable option with some five millions units now in use around the world. Growth is continuing as many governments actively promote this clean-burning fuel with its environmental benefits. Many fleet operators are converting their vehicles, and vehicle manufacturers are developing and m
22、arketing dedicated natural gas equipment. In the context of this International Standard, natural gas vehicles (NGVs) utilize compressed natural gas stored “on-board”. The pressure of the gas stored in multiple containers is up to a maximum 25 000 kPa. Although the pressure has to be reduced before c
23、ombustion, compression and storage gives NGVs an adequate range. While NGVs were initially equipped with converted gasoline or diesel engines, high-performance, dedicated natural gas engines are now being extensively developed and produced. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) may also be stored in the fuel
24、tanks of natural gas vehicles. This, however, will be the subject of a separate International Standard. This part of ISO 15403 for the quality designation of compressed natural gas is designed to stipulate the international requirements placed on the natural gas used as a motor fuel. Engine and vehi
25、cle manufacturers must know these requirements so they can develop high-performance equipment which runs on compressed natural gas. A technical report giving detailed data on the gas compositions used in this part of ISO 15403 is being published as ISO/TR 15403-2. BS EN ISO 15403-1:2008BS EN ISO 154

27、and others involved in the compressed-natural-gas vehicle industry with information on the fuel quality for natural gas vehicles (NGVs) required to develop and operate compressed-natural-gas vehicle equipment successfully. Fuel meeting the requirements of this part of ISO 15403 should a) provide for
28、 the safe operation of the vehicle and associated equipment needed for its fuelling and maintenance; b) protect the fuel system from the detrimental effects of corrosion, poisoning, and liquid or solid deposition; c) provide satisfactory vehicle performance under any and all conditions of climate an
29、d driving demands. Some aspects of this part of ISO 15403 may also be applicable for the use of natural gas in stationary combustion engines. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

31、llowing terms and definitions apply. Definitions were taken from ISO 14532 whenever possible. 3.1 natural gas complex mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily methane, but generally also including ethane, propane and higher hydrocarbons in much smaller amounts and some non-combustible gases, such as nitro
32、gen and carbon dioxide NOTE 1 Natural gas generally also includes minor amounts of trace constituents. BS EN ISO 15403-1:2008ISO 15403-1:2006(E) 2 ISO 2006 All rights reservedNOTE 2 Natural gas is produced and processed from the raw gas or liquefied natural gas and, if required, blended to the exten
33、t suitable for direct use (for example as gaseous fuel). NOTE 3 Natural gas remains in the gaseous state under the temperature and pressure conditions normally found in service. NOTE 4 Natural gas consists predominantly of methane (mole fraction greater than 0,70), and has a superior calorific value
34、 normally within the range 30 MJ/m3to 45 MJ/m3. It contains also ethane (typically up to 0,10 mole fraction), propane, butanes and higher alkanes in steadily decreasing amounts. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are the principal non-combustible components, each present at levels which typically vary from
35、 less than 0,01 mole fraction to 0,20 mole fraction. Natural gas is processed from the raw gas so as to be suitable for use as industrial, commercial, residential fuel or as a chemical feedstock. The processing is intended to reduce the contents of potentially corrosive components, such as hydrogen
36、sulfide and carbon dioxide, and of other components, such as water and higher hydrocarbons, potentially condensable in the transmission and distribution of the gas. Hydrogen sulfide, organic sulfur compounds and water are then reduced to trace amounts, and high carbon dioxide contents are likely to
37、be reduced to below 0,05 mole fraction. Natural gas is normally technically free from aerosol, liquid and particulate matter. In some circumstances natural gas may be blended with town gas or coke oven gas, in which case hydrogen and carbon monoxide will be present in amounts up to 0,10 mole fractio
38、n and 0,03 mole fraction respectively. In this case, small amounts of ethylene may also be present. Natural gas may also be blended with LPG1)/air mixtures, in which case oxygen will be present, and the levels of propane and butanes will be considerably enhanced. NOTE 5 Pipeline quality natural gas
39、is one which has been processed so as to be suitable for direct use as industrial, commercial, residential fuel or as a chemical feed stock. The processing is intended to reduce the corrosive and toxicity effects of certain components, and to avoid condensation of water or hydrocarbons in the transm
40、ission and distribution of the gas. Hydrogen sulfide and water should only be present in trace amounts, and high carbon dioxide content is likely to be reduced.
