BS ISO 12500-2:2007

This standard BS ISO 12500-2:2007 Filters for compressed air. Test methods is classified in these ICS categories:

• 23.100.60 Filters, seals and contamination of fluids
• 71.100.20 Gases for industrial application

This part of ISO 12500 specifies the test layout and test procedures required for testing hydrocarbon vapour adsorbent filters used in compressed-air systems to determine their effectiveness in removing hydrocarbon vapours. The performance characteristics to be identified are

• adsorptive capacity;

• pressure drop (Δp).

This part of ISO 12500 defines one method of presenting filter performance as hydrocarbon vapour capacity, expressed in milligrams, from results obtained under test conditions.
