22、tact with the cryogenic fluid at any expected operating conditions. This standard defines the acceptable level of surface and particle contamination to minimize the risk of malfunction of equipment and ensure safety against ignition when in contact with oxygen or oxidizing fluids (see EN 720-2). 2 N

25、dance with EN 720-2 4 Requirements 4.1 General requirements Chips, foreign matter, major potentially loose particles such as oxide scale and weld spatter, are not acceptable. Particles visible under daylight or white light without magnification are not acceptable. More stringent requirements for par

26、ticle size may be required depending upon the design of the system to avoid malfunction of equipment. Free water shall not be detectable by visual examination. 4.2 Additional requirements for oxygen and oxidizing fluids For oxygen and other oxidizing fluids, hydrocarbon contamination, paint, adhesiv

27、es, sealants and protective coating shall not be detectable by visual examination using white light unless they are oxygen compatible in accordance with EN 1797-1. The maximum acceptable hydrocarbon contamination (oil, grease, etc.) is 500 mg/m 2 . 5 Cleaning procedure Any cleaning procedure may be

28、used, providing the requirements of 4.1 and 4.2, if relevant, are met. If solvent or cleaning agents are used, they shall be compatible with all materials to be cleaned in particular plastics. Special care shall be taken to remove any non oxygen compatible agents (see EN 1797-1) from equipment clean

29、ed for oxygen or oxidizing fluid service. 6 Cleanliness evaluation An inspection and sampling method shall be selected to ensure that the requirements of 4.1 and 4.2,i f relevant, are met. It shall take into account the cleaning procedure to be used, the equipment to be cleaned and its level of cont

30、amination. Cleanliness evaluation methods may include those listed in annex A. The method of inspection shall not itself result in contamination levels greater than those specified in 4.1 and 4.2. The cleanliness evaluation method shall be documented and the results obtained shall be recorded. 7 Pos

31、t cleaning protection After cleaning, items shall be protected to maintain their clean condition until used. To reduce the risk of condensing any atmospheric moisture during storage, consideration shall be given to purging and sealing the equipment. Any packaging, plugs, etc. that can contact the cl

32、ean surfaces shall be clean and removable without leaving any residue. Any packaging material shall be strong enough to resist the expected handling and storage conditions and be able to be sealed and water proof. Any protective gas used shall be dry and oil and dust free. Any pressurizing gas shall

33、 be kept at low pressure compatible with the strength of the packaging and should not exceed 0,5 bar. For pressure above 0,5 bar the package may fall under transportable pressure vessels regulation. The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated

34、references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ! “Page 4 EN 12300:1998 BSI 02-1999 8 Marking Evidence of conformity with the requirements of this standard shall be documented by either: a certifica

35、te accompanying the equipment/item; or a label fixed to the protective packaging or equipment/item. The certificate or label shall indicate: “EN 12300 O 2 ” when cleaned for oxygen or other oxidizing fluids; “EN 12300” when cleaned for other cryogenic fluids only. If a protective gas is used, the ty

36、pe of gas and its pressure shall be legibly marked.Page 5 EN 12300:1998 BSI 02-1999 Annex A (informative) Inspection methods A.1 General Various methods exist for determining the cleanliness acceptance of equipment and it is necessary that the method selected complements the cleaning method used. Th

37、is annex covers the most practical and effective methods available. It is necessary that competent persons with the necessary training and relevant industrial experience are used for this activity. All parts being checked by solvent flushing or immersion should be able to drain freely to empty the s

38、olvent. If an area is identified which cannot freely drain, a method should be developed to remove completely the solvent without leaving contamination. For parts that are inaccessible for inspection after assembly, it may be necessary to disassemble or inspect parts prior to assembly. Consideration

39、 should be given to any contamination which may occur during the assembly of inspected components. If an inspection reveals the presence of any contaminants, the item should be partially or totally recleaned. Persistent rejection requires a re-evaluation of the cleaning methods and quality control p

40、rovisions before re-acceptance. A.2 Direct visual examination with daylight or white light This is the most common inspection method used to detect the presence of contaminants on equipment with easily accessible surfaces. This method will without magnification detect very small particulate matter a

41、nd moisture, oils, grease, etc. in relatively small amounts. The effectiveness of this method is dependent on the roughness of the inspected surface. The method can be used for sandblasted or mechanically cleaned steel surfaces. Magnifying glasses are not necessary, but it is important to have a suf

42、ficient bright level of daylight or artificial white light. Visual examination of the surfaces is appropriate for detecting: moisture (free water); cleaning agents; flux residues from brazing, soldering or welding; rust and loose scale, weld spatters, particles, fibres or other foreign matter; organ

43、ic material such as oils, grease, paint, etc This direct visual examination method enables detection of a hydrocarbon contamination level of 500 mg/m 2 . A.3 Direct visual examination method with ultraviolet light Ultraviolet light causes many common, but not all, hydrocarbon or organic oils to fluo

44、resce. An ultraviolet light with a wavelength of about 370 nm used in dark or near darkness at a distance of about 10 cm to 20 cm from the surface or piece being examined can show fluorescent areas for further inspection by other means such as wipe test, etc. Fluorescent traces due to material resid

45、ues known to be harmless are acceptable. When considering a piece of equipment cleaned for use in oxygen service, it is important not to rely alone on the result of this test as, for example, some vegetable oils do not fluoresce under ultraviolet light. Therefore although this test can be useful, it

46、 is certainly not the most important inspection method and should be supported by white light and/or wipe tests. NOTE Excessive exposure to direct or reflected ultraviolet light can cause eye and skin damage and therefore care should be taken when it is being used and the lamp manufacturers instruct

47、ions should be complied with. A.4 Wipe test method This test is useful when white light examination has been inconclusive. The surface is rubbed lightly with a clean lintfree cotton or linen cloth or with a white filter paper. This cloth or paper is examined under white light and/or ultraviolet ligh

48、t to find any contaminating traces. A light oxide discoloration is in some cases acceptable. Since it is not acceptable to leave paper or cloth particles on the equipment, this method is not recommended for rough or cast materials. A.5 Water break test This test may be used to detect oily residues n

49、ot found by other means. The surface is wetted with a spray of clean water. This should form a thin layer and remain unbroken for at least 5 s. Beading of the water droplets indicates the presence of oil contaminants. A.6 Solvent contamination test method This inspection method is used to check the result of highly specialized methods of solvent cleaning when inaccessible surfaces or bigger installations have to be cleaned.
