1、Designation: G 93 03e1Standard Practice forCleaning Methods and Cleanliness Levels for Material andEquipment Used in Oxygen-Enriched Environments1This standard is issued under the fixed designation G 93; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in t

2、he case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.e1NOTESection 8.3.7 was corrected editorially in July 2004.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the

3、selection of methods andapparatus for cleaning materials and equipment intended forservice in oxygen-enriched environments. Contaminationproblems encountered in the use of enriched air, mixtures ofoxygen with other gases, or any other oxidizing gas may besolved by the same cleaning procedures applic

4、able to mostmetallic and nonmetallic materials and equipment. Cleaningexamples for some specific materials, components, and equip-ment, and the cleaning methods for particular applications, aregiven in the appendices.1.2 This practice includes levels of cleanliness used forvarious applications and t

5、he methods used to obtain and verifythese levels.1.3 This practice applies to chemical-, solvent-, andaqueous-based processes.1.4 This practice describes nonmandatory material forchoosing the required levels of cleanliness for systems exposedto oxygen or oxygen-enriched atmospheres.1.5 This practice

6、 proposes a practical range of cleanlinesslevels that will satisfy most system needs, but it does not dealin quantitative detail with the many conditions that mightdemand greater cleanliness or that might allow greater con-tamination levels to exist. Furthermore, it does not proposespecific ways to

7、measure or monitor these levels from amongthe available methods.1.6 The values stated in both inch-pound and SI units are tobe regarded separately as the standard unit. The values given inparentheses are for information only.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if

8、 any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. Federal, state andlocal safety and disposal regulations concerning the particularhazardou

9、s materials, reagents, operations, and equipment beingused should be reviewed by the user. The user is encouraged toobtain the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) from themanufacturer for any material incorporated into a cleaningprocess. Specific cautions are given in Section 8.2.

See methods described in Methods F 312 orARP 598 for p

26、article size and population determination.4. Summary of Practice4.1 General methods, apparatus, and reagents for cleaningmaterials and equipment used in oxygen-enriched environ-ments are described in this practice. Exact procedures are notgiven because they depend on the contaminant type andmaterial

27、 to be cleaned, cleaning agent used, and degree ofcleanliness required. Methods may be used individually, ormay be combined or repeated to achieve the desired results.Examples of cleaning procedures that have been successfullyused for specific materials, components, and equipment inselected applicat

28、ions are described in the appendices. An indexof the specific materials, components, equipment, and applica-tions covered in these examples is given in Table X1.1.4.2 For the purpose of this practice, both solid and fluidcontaminants have been subclassed into three categories:organics, inorganics, a

29、nd particulates. A list of common con-tamination levels is given in Table 1.4.3 Cleanliness specifications that have been used in thepast are identified, levels of cleanliness that can be achievedare listed along with factors that suggest potential upper limitsfor allowable system contamination, and

30、 the practical difficul-ties in adopting and achieving adequately clean systems arereviewed. Cleanliness specifications used by suppliers andmanufacturers often differ; it is therefore important to commu-nicate and agree upon which specification is to be used for agiven system and to adhere to the m

31、ost conservative measures.5. Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of this practice is to furnish qualifiedtechnical personnel with pertinent information for the selectionof cleaning methods for cleaning materials and equipment to beused in oxygen-enriched environments. This practice furnishesqualifie

32、d technical personnel with guidance in the specificationof oxygen system cleanliness needs. It does not actuallyspecify cleanliness levels.3Available from Compressed Gas Association (CGA), 1725 Jefferson DavisHwy., Suite 1004, Arlington, VA 22202-4102.4Available from Society of Automotive Engineers

36、chanisms are explained in detailin Guide G88.5.3 Adequate contamination control in oxygen systems isimperative to minimize hazards and component failures thatcan result from contamination. Contamination must also beminimized to ensure an acceptable product purity.5.4 Removal of contaminants from mat

The general cleaning text can be used toe

Interferences6.1 Disassembly:6.1.1 It is imperative that oxygen systems be cleaned asindividual components or piece p

39、arts, preferably before assem-bly. Assembled systems must be disassembled for cleaning ifconstruction permits. Flushing an assembled system can de-posit and concentrate contaminants in stagnant areas. Nonvola-tile cleaning agents may remain in trapped spaces and laterreact with oxygen. Cleaning solu

40、tions may degrade nonmetalsin an assembly. Caustic and acid cleaning solutions may causecrevice corrosion in assemblies.6.1.2 Manufactured products (that is, valves, regulators, andpumps) should be cleaned preferably by the manufacturerbefore final assembly and test. All tests should be structured t

41、oprevent recontamination. The part must then be packaged inoxygen-compatible materials (see 12.1) and identified to pro-tect it from contamination in transit and storage. The purchasershould approve the cleaning procedure and packaging to assurethat they satisfy system requirements. Some purchasers

42、mayrequire the product manufacturer to certify cleanliness leveland oxygen compatibility of all component materials.6.1.3 Manufactured products cleaned by the purchaser mustbe disassembled for cleaning if construction permits. Thepurchaser should follow the manufacturers instructions fordisassembly,

43、 inspection for damage, reassembly, and testing.6.2 Cleaners:6.2.1 Mechanical cleaning methods such as abrasive blast-ing, tumbling, grinding, and wire brushing are very aggressiveand should be avoided on finished machined articles. Suchmethods can damage sealing surfaces, remove protectivecoatings,

44、 and work-harden metals. Sensitive surfaces must beprotected before mechanical cleaning methods are applied.6.2.2 Chemical cleaners, both acid and caustic, can damagemetal parts if not neutralized upon completion of cleaning.Corrosion, embrittlement, or other surface modifications arepotentially har

45、mful side effects of chemical cleaning agents.Crevice corrosion can occur and sealing surfaces can be etchedenough to destroy the finish necessary to seal the part. See TestMethod G 122 and Guide G 127 for methods used to evaluatecleaners for use on various materials used in oxygen service.6.2.3 Sol

46、vent cleaning solutions often damage plastics andelastomers. The manufacturer should be consulted or sampleparts should be tested to ensure that the solvent is not harmfulto the item being cleaned.6.3 Lubricants:6.3.1 Mechanical components are normally assembled withlubricants on seals, threads, and

47、 moving surfaces. The manu-facturer should be consulted to determine the kind of lubricantoriginally used on the article to ensure that the cleaningsolutions and methods selected are effective in removing thelubricant and will not damage the component.6.3.2 Oxygen-compatible lubricants should be sel

48、ected inaccordance with Guide G63. The component manufacturershould also be consulted to ensure that the selected lubricantprovides adequate lubrication for component performance.Oxygen-compatible lubricants often have markedly differentlubricating properties from conventional lubricants.6.4 Environ

49、ment and Assembly Requirements:6.4.1 Equipment intended for oxygen service must behandled carefully during all phases of a cleaning procedure.The environment should be clean and dust-free. Nearby grind-ing, welding, and sanding should be prohibited. Parts shouldnot be allowed to stand in the open unprotected after they havebeen cleaned. Care should be taken to avoid contamination byoil deposits from rotating machinery or oil aerosols in the air.Do not touch part surfaces that will be in direct oxygen serviceexcept with clean gloves or handling devices.6.4.2 In some ca
