34、ising 40 % (V/V) kerosene, 20 % (V/V) toluene and 40 % (V/V) xylene. A.2 Procedure A.2.1 Fill the closed transfer system with the test liquid formulation in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and leave for a period of 12 h. A.2.2 After the 12 h period, drain the system, flush out and tes

35、t for leaks and contaminating residues in accordance with annexes C and D. NOTE. Component parts of the transfer system may be tested by immersing sections of pre-recorded dimensions and mass in the test liquid formulation specified in A.1. Annex B (normative) Container rinsing test with closed tran

36、sfer systems B.1 Principle This test uses a test liquid formulation, of which small quantities can be traced and quantified using direct chemical analysis or spectrophotometric (colorimetric) /fluorometric analysis techniques after extraction. B.2 Apparatus B.2.1 Test liquid formulation as specified

37、 in annex F. B.2.2 PPP containers with which the system is designed to operate. B.3 Procedure B.3.1 Conduct the rinsing test with the smallest and largest sizes of PPP container with which the system is designed to operate. B.3.2 Load the test liquid formulation into five of each of the two sizes of

38、 container and seal. After loading and sealing, briefly invert each container through 180 before storing in an upright position. Store the containers at 20 C for a period of between 12 h and 24 h prior to conducting tests. B.3.3 Conduct the rinsing test by transferring the contents of the loaded con

39、tainers into a test closed transfer system in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Follow the rinsing procedure specified by the manufacturer to give five rinses of each of two sizes of PPP container that have been emptied and rinsed clean. B.3.4 Determine the residue within the rinsed PP

40、P containers by the following method: a) add clean water to the empty container to 25 % of its nominal capacity; b) shake the container vigorously for a period of 1.0 min; c) top up the container to its nominal capacity with clean water, seal with a clean lid and store inverted and in darkness for a

41、 period of 6 h at a temperature of 20 C; d) during the above storage period, vigorously agitate the containers for 1.0 minute on at least three separate occasions with a minimum interval between such agitations of 1.0 hour; e) take samples of the final rinsate and determine the total quantity of PPP

42、 residue using spectrophotometric (colorimetric)/fluorometric analysis techniques to an accuracy of 5.0ml. Annex C (normative) System leakage tests for closed transfer systems C.1 Apparatus C.1.1 Test formulation comprising water plus 0.1 % of a non-ionic surfactant and a soluble tracer dye. C.1.2 P

43、PP container with which the system is designed to operate. C.1.3 Swabs. C.2 Procedure C.2.1 Load the test formulation (C.1.1) into the largest size of PPP container with which the system is designed to operate. Thoroughly clean all external surfaces of the PPP container and closed transfer system. C

44、.2.2 Connect the PPP container to the closed transfer system. Transfer the test formulation into a test closed transfer system in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. C.2.3 Immediately on completion of transfer and with the connections to both the PPP container and closed transfer system

45、still intact, wipe all external surfaces and particularly those in the region of system couplings with clean, absorbent swabs. C.2.4 Determine the quantity of the original test formulation captured by the swabs using an appropriate spectrophotometric (colorimetric)/fluorometric analysis technique to

46、 an accuracy of 5.0ml.4 BSI 1996 BS 6356 : Part 9 : 1996 Annex D Annex D (normative) Determination of PPP residues on the surfaces of a dry-break coupling after separation D.1 Principle NOTE. Dry-break couplings are common components in many closed transfer systems designed for use with PPPs. The qu

47、antity of residues on the surface of coupling components relates directly to the magnitude of potential operator contamination associated with such a coupling system. D.1.1 Measurements are made with the dry-break coupling in as new condition. The test method does not aim to examine the effects of w

48、ear or build up of deposits on system components on the performance of the coupling. D.1.2 Install the coupling system as for practical operation with the ability to operate vertically and/or horizontally, as appropriate. Manufacturers recommended mounting and operating instructions are used as the

49、basis for any test. D.1.3 The test is conducted with clean water. D.2 Apparatus D.2.1 Dry-break coupling, arranged in the flow line from a ventilated container holding water. NOTE 1. All pipe sizes connected to the dry-break coupling should be appropriate to the body size of the coupling system. NOTE 2. For gravity systems with the coupling attached to a PPP container, the same principles apply with a flow being established from the container before a disconnection is made. D.2.2 Pumping source, (e.g. a Venturi) positioned up-stream of the dry-break
