1.1 This standard practice is intended for gravimetric determination of compressor oil carryover as aerosols using either a coalescing filter method or sorbent tube method.

1.2 The method using coalescing filters is applicable to analysis of compressor or lube oil carryover as a liquid and is intended for long term monitoring of a compressed natural gas (CNG) dispenser system.

1.3 The method using a sorbent tube is applicable to analysis of compressor or lube oil carryover as a vapor and liquid in CNG dispenser systems present at 1 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg in a sample volume of 0.2 m³ to 0.6 m³. This method is applicable to a measurement intended to replicate the filling of a vehicle.

1.4 This standard shall be applicable to natural gas, biogas, or renewable natural gas (RNG) that is compressed for use as a fuel for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles.

1.5 This standard shall be applicable to natural gas, biogas, or renewable natural gas when they have been blended with hydrogen and have been compressed for use as a fuel for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles.

1.6 The user shall determine if the volumetric measuring elements of the dispensing system are adjusted for the composition of gaseous fuel blends being delivered and those volumetric measuring elements correctly calculate the volume of fuel delivered. The users shall apply appropriate correction factors if necessary.

1.7 Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

1.8 Mention of trade names or organizations in this standard does not constitute endorsement or recommendation. Other manufacturers of equipment or equipment models can be used.

1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.10 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
