This standard establishes a method for measuring the flow capacity of refrigerant suction line filters and filter-driers. This test method is intended for use on both sealed and replaceable element type suction line filters and filter-driers of all types. The test method is based on using air as the testing medium and calculating the results to refrigerant gas flow under various application conditions.
