It specifies the design of test rigs and test apparatu

11、s and it describes pressure testing and leakage testing of equipment. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of this British Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or rev

12、isions of, any of these publications do not apply. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

To avoid particle contamination of the item under test, a 5 m (nominal) fil

16、ter should be fitted as near to the test connection as possible. 3.1.2 Fittings used for connecting an item of oxygen equipment to a test rig shall be cleaned internally and externally to be free from contaminants. Their design shall be such that the generation of swarf or other particles cannot occ

17、ur during connection or disconnection, or enter the item. 3.1.3 Test rigs shall be constructed from valves, components and equipment which conform to the material selection and cleanliness criteria as defined in BS 4N 100-6 and BS 4N 100-7, even if the test medium is not oxygen. 3.1.4 Quick opening

18、valves or designs that can cause rapid (adiabatic) pressurization, especially in flexible pipelines or hoses, shall not be used. 3.1.5 Ensure that any oxygen vented by test rig or equipment under test does not accumulate or impinge on any electrical component or heated non-approved material surfaces

19、 (see BS N 100-6). 3.1.6 Site the test rig and equipment away from any uncontrolled heat source. NOTE Most tests are defined at NTP conditions, i.e. 101.3 kPa (1013 mbar) pressure and 15 C temperature. WARNING NOTE Test rigs should be identified by permanent labelling with the words “For use with ox

20、ygen equipment only”. !3.1.7 Ensure that all parts of the test rig are electrically bonded together and that the maximum resistance to ground from any part is 1 ohm. The maximum resistance to ground from the item under test through any connection to the test rig shall be 1 ohm. “ 1) Obtainable from

22、he selected simulated altitude. 3.2.2 The type of vacuum system utilized shall be safe for the passage of pure oxygen. Material selection shall be in accordance with the requirements of BS N 100-6. 3.3 Liquefied gases Tests on liquid oxygen equipment requiring a liquefied gas shall be carried out us

23、ing liquid oxygen conforming to Defence Standard 16-1/Issue 3, Section 3. 3.4 Oxygen, nitrogen and air Gases used for testing items of oxygen equipment shall conform to the following publications: NOTE A 7mg/m 3(7 micrograms per litre) water content is equivalent to a dewpoint of p61 C and is approx

24、imately 10 10 p6v/v. WARNING NOTE 1 It is essential that under no circumstances should nitrogen be used in tests involving live subjects. WARNING NOTE 2 The use of gaseous nitrogen is preferred excepting warning note 1, but, if this is not practicable, oxygen or air (in this order) may be used: ensu

25、re that the necessary calibration corrections are applied. If air is used directly from a compressor, filtration shall be provided to remove oil, water and/or other contaminants so that the air conforms to the requirements of the standard referenced in 3.4. Oxygen shall be used for type approval tes

26、ts and similar approval work of systems/equipment in accordance with their individual specifications. WARNING NOTE 3 If testing is carried out using other than gaseous oxygen, the item of equipment or system should be purged with gaseous oxygen, after the test, taking care to ensure that the equipme

27、nt or system is thoroughly purged. 4 Hydraulic pressure tests 4.1 Carry out hydraulic pressure tests using distilled (de-ionized/demineralized) water. Up to 25 10 p6v/v of an approved detergent, conforming to BS N 100-2, may be added to reduce the surface tension and hence aid the removal of the wat

28、er after the test. Ethanol, Iso-propyl alcohol or trichloroethylene may be used but care should be taken to avoid material incompatibility if elastomers or other non-metals are wetted during the test. 4.2 After the test, thoroughly dry the parts of the system and ensure that they are free from any c

29、ontaminant introduced by the test. This is particularly the case if flammable agents (e.g. ethanol) or potentially toxic harmful fluids (e.g. trichloroethylene) are used. Heat or vacuum are useful processes to aid drying in components with narrow passages, or small internal features. NOTE Refer to C

30、lause 9 of BS N 100-1 for guidance on test pressure selection and other relevant information, and BS N 100-7 for cleaning. Oxygen: BS N 3 or Defence Standard 16-1/Issue 3, (Section 2;) Nitrogen: BS 4366, Defence Standard 16-19 Issue 2 or 68-95 Issue 2; Air: Defence Standard 16-8/Issue 4, or in accor

31、dance with the following: Up to 15 C, maximum water content 7 micrograms per litre of air at 101.3 kPa. Above 15 C, a higher water content may be acceptable, but be aware of the temperature drop effect caused as air flows from higher pressure to a lower pressure. BS 4N 100-3:1999 BSI 1 March 2004 3

32、5 Leakage tests The oxygen equipment and/or pipe connections shall be tested for leakage using any of the following: a) a solution of de-ionized/demineralized water with an approved detergent wetting agent, conforming to BS N 100-2; b) a pressure drop method; c) by collection of leakage gas in an en

33、closed volume; or d) by pressurizing the equipment with helium or similar inert gas and using a leak seeker “sniffer” or mass-spectrometer technique to locate and/or quantify any leak. Ensure that equipment is clean and purged of any test medium after completion of the leakage test. NOTE If pressure

34、 measurements are taken with a liquid manometer, avoid contamination of the equipment by the liquid.BS 4N 100-3:1999 BSI 1 March 2004 4 Bibliography BS 4N 100, Aircraft oxygen systems and equipment.
