ISO 8573-8 Compressed Air - Test Methods for Solid Particle Content by Mass Concentration

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ISO 8573-8 testing. ISO 8573-8 specifies test methods for determining the mass concentration of solid particles in compressed air, expressed as the mass of solid particles with maximum particle size limits.

Limitations of the methods are also noted. This standard, one of a series of standards aimed at harmonizing air pollution methods, defines sampling techniques and also gives assessment, uncertainty considerations and reporting requirements for the air purity parameter of solid particles by mass concentration.

Test equipment and instruments shall be in good working order. The calibration requirements of the measuring equipment used, as specified in the applicable instructions, shall be taken into account. The specified methods can be used at any point in the compressed air system using portable instruments, where the measurement conditions are met and where connectors and shut-off valves are available for connection to the compressed air system.

The gravimetric method is concerned with the separation and weighing of solid particles present in a compressed air sample. The effect of temperature, pressure, humidity and other contaminants in the compressed air will be taken into account.
