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 3.
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 International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10442 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 118, Compressors, pneumatic tools and pneumatic
machines, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures for
petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 6, Processing equipment and systems.
Annex D forms a normative part of this International Standard. Annexes A, B and C are for information only.

operation at a pressure of not less than the relief valve setting. Filters that have covers with a mass of more than
16 kg (35 lb) shall have cover lifters (see 4.1.22). Filters shall not be equipped with a relief valve or an automatic
bypass. Filter cartridge materials shall be corrosion-resistant. Metal-mesh or sintered-metal filter elements are not
permissible. Stacked filter cartridge designs are not permitted. The pressure drop for clean filter elements shall not
exceed 15 % of the total allowable dirty pressure drop, or 34 kPa (5 psi) at an operating temperature of 38 °C
(100 °F) and normal flow. Cartridges shall have a minimum collapsing differential pressure of 500 kPa (75 psi). The
filters shall be equipped with a vent and clean-and-dirty drain connections.

If a specific filter element is desired, the purchaser shall specify the make and model number of the element.
NOTE Particle size implies the diameter of a spherical bead: thus, a 10 µm (400 micro-inch) particle is a sphere with a
diameter of 10 µm. Within the element recommended maximum pressure drop, 10 µm (400 micro-inch) nominal implies that the
efficiency of the filter on particles that are 10 µm or larger in diameter will be no less than 90 % for the life of the element.
Absolute particle ratings are different. An absolute filter rating implies that no particle of the rating size or larger will pass; for
example, a filter rating may be 10 µm (400 micro-inch) nominal and 15 µm (600 micro-inch) absolute.

A common suction line may be used, but shall then be sized for the capability of two pumps.

� 4.2.2.7 If specified, a removable steam-heating element, external to the oil reservoir, or a thermostatically
controlled electric immersion heater with a sheath of austenitic stainless steel shall be provided for heating the
charge capacity of oil before start-up in cold weather. The heating device shall have sufficient capacity to heat the
oil in the reservoir from the specified minimum site ambient temperature to the manufacturer's required start-up
temperature within 12 h. If an electric immersion heater is used, it shall have a maximum watt density of 2,4 W/cm .
4.2.2.8 Unless otherwise specified, an austenitic stainless steel oil reservoir shall be supplied, having the
following characteristics and appendages:
a) the capacity to avoid frequent refilling, to provide adequate allowance for system rundown, and to settle
moisture and foreign matter adequately;
b) provisions to eliminate air and to minimize flotation of foreign matter to pump suctions;
c) separate fill and vent connections, a level indicator with an armoured gauge glass and a breather suitable for
outdoor use;
d) a sloped bottom and connections for complete drainage;
e) cleanout openings large enough to provide access for thorough cleaning;
f) an interior that has been descaled and protected from rust by the manufacturer's standard procedure, subject
to the purchaser's approval (permanent surface coatings shall not be applied without the purchaser's specific
approval);
g) a retention time of at least 3 min, based on normal flow and total volume below the normal operating level.
4.2.2.9 The vendor shall state in the instruction manual the required amount, specifications and supply
temperature, and the pressure ranges for the lubrication oil.
4.2.2.10 The oil system drain lines (as well as the reservoir vent or mist eliminator, or both) shall be large
enough to prevent emission of visible oil vapours above the vent. They shall also be large enough to provide
adequate drainage with the airflow from the sealing system into the oil system, with seal clearances that are at
least twice the design clearance.

d) sealing fluid;
e) drains;
f) interstage piping.
NOTE For casing connections, see 4.3.5.
4.2.3.1.3 Piping systems shall include piping isolating valves, control valves, relief valve, pressure reducers,
orifices, thermometers and thermowells, pressure gauges, sight flow indicators, and all related vents and drains.
4.2.3.1.4 The vendor shall furnish all piping systems, including mounted appurtenances, located within the
confines of the package. Each piping system requiring external connections shall terminate with flanged single-
supply and single-return connections at the edge of the package. It is not necessary to provide flanged connections
for instrument tubing systems. The purchaser shall furnish only interconnecting piping between equipment
groupings and off-base facilities.
4.2.3.1.5 The design of piping systems shall achieve the following:
a) proper support and protection to prevent damage due to vibration from shipment, operation or maintenance;
b) proper flexibility and normal accessibility for operation, maintenance and thorough cleaning;
c) installation in a neat and orderly arrangement adapted to the contour of the package without obstruction of
access openings;
d) elimination of air pockets;
e) complete drainage through low points without disassembly of piping.
4.2.3.1.6 Piping should be fabricated by bending and welding to minimize the use of flanges and fittings. Welded
flanges are permitted only at equipment connections, at the edge of any base, and for ease of maintenance.
Threaded connections shall be kept to a minimum. Pipe bushing shall not be used.
4.2.3.1.7 Pipe threads shall be taper threads in accordance with the piping design code. Flanges shall be in
