Appendix A
(Normative)
Test Methods of Oil Mist and Particulate Matter in the Compressed
Air
A.1 Principle
The oil mist and particulate matter in the gas sample shall be collected with a filter
membrane of known quality. The content of the oil mist and particulate matter in the
compressed air shall be calculated from the weight gain of the filter membrane and the
volume of the collected gas after sampling.
A.2 Instruments and materials
The instruments and materials required for the method include:
a) Filter membrane: perchloroethylene microporous filter membrane or other dust
measurement filter membrane, diameter 37mm or 40mm, and pore diameter no
greater than 1μm;
b) Sampling clip or sampling box: the size is consistent with the filter membrane,
which is used to hold the microporous filter membrane;
c) gas needle valve and rubber-plastic tube for connection;
d) flow meter with accuracy of 2%;
e) Analytical balance: accurate to 0.1 mg.
A.3 Preparation before sampling
The following preparations shall be made before sampling:
a) Wash and dry the sampling clamp and sampling box;
b) Dewater the filter membrane in a desiccator for at least 4h; weigh the mass, m1,
(accurate to 0.1mg); and put it into the numbered filter box. The weighed filter
membrane shall not be contaminated or adsorb oil or dust;
c) Connect the needle valve, sampling clamp and rotor flowmeter with plastic pipes
in order.
A.4 Sample collection
A.4.1 Adjust the outlet pressure of the compressed air cylinder or air supply equipment
to 0.1MPa ~ 0.12MPa (absolute pressure); and then connect the inlet of the needle
valve to the outlet of the compressed air equipment. With the needle valve closed,
insert the filter box into the filter box holder. Open the needle valve and adjust the flow
meter to allow the gas to pass through the filter membrane at a flow rate, V, of 10L/min
~ 20L/min to stabilize the gas flow and record the start time of sampling.
A.4.2 When the cumulative flow rate exceeds 1m3, close the needle valve and record
the end time of sampling. Take out the filter membrane, fold the dust-receiving side of
the filter membrane inward twice and place it in a clean container for transportation
and storage. During the transportation and storage process, prevent the dust falling off
or pollution.
A.4.3 When sampling from a pressure vessel, the pressure vessel shall be placed
upside down (valve facing down) for 5min before sampling. Gas cylinders and
components shall be kept above 0°C.
A.4.4 When sampling the compressor system, the compressed gas outlet or the filter
drying pipe connected to it shall keep hanging. When measuring the oil content, the
sample air shall be passed through a sufficient filter membrane medium; and then the
weight gain of the filter membrane shall be measured, or the decolorization of the filter
membrane shall be observed.
A.5 Sample weighing and result processing
A.5.1 Before weighing, place the sampled filter membrane in a desiccator to dewater
for more than 4 hours. After removing static electricity, weigh accurately on the
analytical balance and record the mass, m2, of the filter membrane and dust. The
difference between the relative humidity of the balance chamber before and after the
sampling of the membrane filter is no more than 10%.
A.5.2 The content of oil mist and particulate matter in the gas is calculated according
to Formula (A.1):
Where:
x - oil mist and particulate matter content, in mg/m3;
m2 - the mass of the filter membrane after sampling, in mg;
m1 --- the mass of the filter membrane before sampling, in mg;
V - sampling volume (converted to under standard state of 20°C and 101.3kPa), in m3.
A.5.3 The number of parallel samples collected at the same sampling point shall be no
less than 2. The same batch of samples shall contain at least one blank sample. The
test results of each sample shall be deducted from the blank value. The final result is
the average value of each parallel sample.
