WatchGas BAT-1, 2, 3 Breathing Air Quality Test Kit
Full Compliance with BS EN12021
6.1 OIL MIST TUBES
The reading is obtained directly off the tube in mg/m
NOTE: High water vapour levels can affect the accuracy of reading (see note below).
AMBIENT CONDITIONS DURING SAMPLING
The test result applies only to the sampled portion i. e. to the expanded portion of air. In order to validate the oil content
of the total air in the compressed air system, variations in place and time resulting from surface adsorption and desorption
processes must be taken into account. Such processes strongly depend on temperature. The measurement must be taken
from the same system (machine, compressor tube line etc.) that will be placed in operation.
Temperature: 10 °C to 30 °C; 50 °F to 86 °F
Humidity: see table 8
Pressure: only for use with de-pressurized air
INTERFERENCES AND CROSS SENSITIVITIES
Vapours of many other organic substances will be indicated too. The sensitivity of indication is different.
OVERALL UNCERTAINTY
Due to the varying chemical composition within compressor oil types and ambient conditions, the indication shall be
regarded only to semi-quantitative.
