This part of ISO 8573 specifies test methods for determining the liquid water content in compressed air, expressed as the liquid water mass concentration. The limitations of the methods are also given. One of a series of standards aimed at harmonizing air contamination measurements, it identifies sampling techniques and also gives requirements for evaluation, uncertainty considerations and reporting for the air purity parameter liquid water. The test methods are suitable for determining the purity classes in accordance with ISO 8573-1.
