This British Standard specifies the construction and maintenance
requirements of indirectly and directly driven single-stage centrifugal
booster assemblies (hereafter referred to as machines), working on
first, second or third family gas, having an outlet pressure of not greater
than 150 mbar.
This standard is not applicable to positive displacement gas and slide
vane type compressors.
This standard is also applicable to machines with outlet pressures not
greater than 150 mbar used on landfill gases or biogases or gas/air
mixtures, provided that any additional design and safety issues have
been incorporated.
Though applicable to single-stage machines only, this standard can be
used as a basis for multi-stage machines where, in general, pressures
higher than 150 mbar are achieved.
NOTE All pressures are gauge pressures. All pressure tests are
performed with air under ambient conditions.
