Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 12500-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 118, Compressors and pneumatic tools, machines
and equipment, Subcommittee SC 4, Quality of compressed air.
ISO 12500 consists of the following parts, under the general title Filters for compressed air — Test methods:
— Part 1: Oil aerosols
— Part 2: Oil vapours
— Part 3: Particulates

Introduction
Oil adsorbent filters (e.g. activated carbon. etc.) are designed for the removal of oil vapours and odours from
compressed air or gas streams.
The most important performance characteristics of the filter are its ability to remove hydrocarbon vapours, its
total adsorptive capacity and pressure drop.
The aim of this part of ISO 12500 is to define a method and test condition by which the above characteristics
can be measured and compared.

Part 2:
Oil vapours
1Scope
This part of ISO 12500 specifies the test layout and test procedures required for testing hydrocarbon vapour
adsorbent filters used in compressed-air systems to determine their effectiveness in removing hydrocarbon
vapours. The performance characteristics to be identified are
— adsorptive capacity;
— pressure drop (∆p).
This part of ISO 12500 defines one method of presenting filter performance as hydrocarbon vapour capacity,
expressed in milligrams, from results obtained under test conditions.

4 Units and symbols
General use of SI units (Système international d'unités; see ISO 1000) as given throughout this part of
ISO 12500 is recommended. However, in agreement with accepted practice in the pneumatic field, some
non-preferred SI units, accepted by ISO, are also used.
1 bar = 100 000 Pa
NOTE bar (e) is used to indicate effective pressure above atmospheric.

1 l (litre) = 0,001 m
The graphic symbols on diagrams are in accordance with ISO 1219-1 and ISO 7000.
5 Reference conditions
The reference conditions for gas volumes shall be:
◦
a) air temperature 20 C;
b) absolute air pressure 100 kPa [1 bar (a)];
