ISO 9912-2:2013 specifies general construction requirements and test methods for strainer filters and disc filters intended for operation in agricultural irrigation systems. It does not cover the aspects of filtration ability, efficiency and capacity (like quality of filtered water or time of operation before a filter becomes entirely clogged), nor does it deal with structural requirements or tests of automatic flushing mechanism filters that are covered by ISO 9912-3.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received. www.iso.org/patents
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and
forestry, Subcommittee SC 18, Irrigation and drainage equipment and systems.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9912-2:2013(E)
Agricultural irrigation equipment — Filters for
microirrigation —
Part 2:
Strainer-type filters and disc filters
1 Scope
This part of ISO 9912 specifies general construction requirements and test methods for strainer filters
and disc filters (hereinafter called filters) intended for operation in agricultural irrigation systems.
This part of ISO 9912 does not cover the aspects of filtration ability, efficiency, and capacity (like quality
of filtered water or time of operation before a filter becomes entirely clogged), nor does it deal with
structural requirements or tests of automatic flushing mechanism filters that are covered by ISO 9912-3.
NOTE The parameters of filtration ability, efficiency, and capacity, their definitions, and their test methods are
to be included in a separate ISO Technical Report. The test methods for comparing various filters under identical
operating conditions will be described in that Technical Report, using water as defined by the client, to characterize
the filter properties during operation with this water, or with water defined by the tester or the client.
2 Normative references
