Standard Test Method for Test Method for Sampling of Particulate Matter in High Pressure Hydrogen used as a Gaseous Fuel with an In-Stream Filter

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Fuel cells such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells require high purity hydrogen for maximum material performance and lifetime. Collection and measurement of particulate matter 0.2 µm or larger is necessary for assuring a feed gas of sufficient purity to satisfy fuel cell system needs. In addition, internal combustion engines using high pressure hydrogen fuel also require low particulate containing fuel. Specifically, particulate matter has been implicated in the premature failure of pneumatic control components, such as valves within vehicles. This sampling procedure is used to collect and measure samples containing particles 0.2 µm or larger in size as specified in ISO/CD 14687–2, SAE J2719, and other hydrogen fuel quality specifications.  
Although not intended for application to gases other than hydrogen and related fuel cell supply gases, the techniques within this sampling procedure can be applied to other high pressure gaseous samples requiring particulate collection and measurement.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method is primarily for sampling particulates in hydrogen fuel used in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles or gaseous hydrogen powered internal combustion vehicle engines up to pressures of 35 MPa (350 Bars) using an in-stream filter. This test method describes sampling apparatus design, operating procedures, and quality control procedures required to obtain the stated levels of precision and accuracy.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.2.1 The values stated in Bars in 1.1, 7.1 and 10.1.1 are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
