BS ISO 7183:2007

1   Scope This International Standard specifies the performance data that are necessary to state and applicable test methods for different types of compressed air dryers . It is applicable to compressed air dryers working with an effective (gauge) pressure of more than 50 kPa (0,5 bar), but less than or equal to 1 600 kPa (16 bar) and include the following:

       —   adsorption  dryers ; 
   
   
     
       —  membrane  dryers ; 
   
   
     
       —  refrigeration  dryers  (including drying by cooling); 
   
   
     
       —  or a combination of these. 
   
 


 
   NOTE  A description of the principles of operation of the  dryers  within the Scope of this International Standard is given in Annex A. 

This International Standard identifies test methods for measuring dryer parameters that include the following:

       —   pressure dew point ; 
   
   
     
       —  flow rate;
