19、nternational Standards giving specifications for fire extinguishing media in common use and which are in need of a specification for fire fighting purposes. These specifications are designed to establish that the medium in question has at least a minimum useful fire extinguishing capability and can

20、therefore be reasonably sold for fire extinguishing purposes.Requirements for media used in particular equipment will form the subject of future International Standards.Annexes A to C of this International Standard specify methods for determining, respectively, water, oil and total sulfur compounds

21、contents. Annexes D to G provide important information on, and give recommendations relating to, the safety and use of carbon dioxide, and they should be read carefully by all concerned with this medium.

28、n is drawn to the need to design equipment for handling carbon dioxide such that it is either capable of withstanding the pressures involved or is protected from them.5.2 Sampling equipmentRigid metal connections or a flexible reinforced nylon hose should be used throughout the sampling equipment an

29、d shall be kept as short as possible. All components shall have a design pressure of not less than 137 bar.5.3 Procedure5.3.1 GeneralTwo methods of sampling are specified:a) direct sampling, in which the sample is passed to an evaporator and then directly to the analytical apparatus;b) sampling in c

30、ylinders, in which case the sample is transferred in a cylinder to a laboratory.Other methods may be used provided that they are shown to give equally representative samples on analysis (see Annexes A to C).5.3.2 Direct samplingConnect the sampling valve by means of suitable connections (see 5.2) to

31、 an evaporating device and then via a T-piece (the free leg of which is connected to the dip-tube of a Drechsel bottle containing 50 mm of mercury covered by a layer of water on the carbon dioxide side) to the analytical apparatus. Thoroughly flush the connections, valves and the evaporating device

32、with carbon dioxide before starting to take the sample.5.3.3 Sampling in cylindersUse a cylinder of water capacity 1,4 kg or 2,0 kg and with a valve at each end.An internal copper dip-tube of diameter at least 5 mm and of length equal to one-third of the length of the cylinder shall be brazed to the

33、 base of one valve, which shall be clearly identified. The cylinder shall be coated internally with tin containing 1 % (m/m) of lead applied by hot dipping the cylinder after the walls have been descaled.First clean the sampling cylinder by removing both valves and washing the inside of the cylinder

34、 with carbon tetrachloride. Purge with a current of dry filtered air. Wash with methanol and repeat the purging. Degrease the valves using carbon tetrachloride, then refit them. The methanol and carbon tetrachloride used shall comply with the requirements specified in B.2.Support the cylinder vertic

35、ally with its dip-tube valve uppermost. Before taking the sample, thoroughly flush the cylinder with a small quantity of liquid carbon dioxide, first through the top valve and then through the bottom valve. Repeat this flushing procedure, and leave the cylinder connected to the liquid carbon dioxide

36、 source via its lower valve. Then, with the upper valve closed, open the lower valve to admit liquid carbon dioxide to the cylinder. Partly open the upper (dip-tube) valve and continue filling until carbon dioxide snow is discharged from this valve. Close both valves. Open the top valve several time

37、s for brief intervals until only carbon dioxide gas is discharged from it. The free end of the dip-tube inside the cylinder will then be just above the liquid carbon dioxide level in the cylinder.Samples shall be analysed as soon as reasonably practicable after collection. To withdraw the sample for

38、 analysis, support the sampling cylinder vertically with the dip-tube valve at the top. Connect the bottom valve 2 ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 5923:2012ISO 5923:2012(E)of the sampling cylinder (liquid carbon dioxide) to an evaporating device and thence via a T-piece, the free leg of which

39、is connected to a tube as described in 5.3.2, to the analytical apparatus. Thoroughly flush the connections, valves and the evaporating device with carbon dioxide before starting the analysis.When sampling for the determination of water content, heat the connections to above the dew point to prevent

40、 condensation during purging.6 Methods of test6.1 Safety warningAttention is drawn to the need to design equipment for handling carbon dioxide such that it is either capable of withstanding the pressures involved or is protected from them.6.2 PurityDetermine the purity by gas-liquid chromatography,

41、using generally accepted laboratory techniques, or use a volumetric analyser.The method used shall be capable of determining the purity with an accuracy of at least 0,1 %.The sample shall not constitute more than 10 % of the original quantity of carbon dioxide contained in the sample container.6.3 W

42、ater contentDetermine the water content by the method specified in Annex A or by any other method giving equivalent results.6.4 Oil contentDetermine the oil content by the method specified in Annex B or by any other method giving equivalent results.6.5 Total sulfur compounds contentDetermine the tot

43、al sulfur compounds content by the method specified in Annex C or by any other method giving equivalent results.7 Packaging and labelling7.1 Carbon dioxide shall be shipped and stored in containers that will not alter the medium or be detrimentally affected by it.NOTE The containers may need to comp

44、ly with national regulations.7.2 Containers shall be marked with the following information:a) suppliers name and address;b) “carbon dioxide”;c) package identification number;d) the number of this International Standard, i.e. ISO 5923:2012;e) recommended storage precautions.

48、es through a test sieve of aperture size 600 m but is retained on a test sieve of aperture size 425 m.In general, follow the applicable recommendations and requirements of ISO 2591-1:1988.Quickly transfer a volume of fresh phosphorus pentoxide to a stoppered container (a large weighing bottle or sma

49、ll stoppered jar is suitable) and add about half as much by volume of the prepared powdered glass or sand. Vigorously shake the container to mix the components and fill the U-tubes (A.2.1) as quickly as possible with the mixture.If it is prepared in this way, it should be easy to fill the tube with the desiccant. If it is not easy, it is probable that the phosphorus pentoxide was moist before the addition of the powdered glass or sand.Prepare the desiccant in small quantities, as required.A.3 SamplingTake the sam
