1、Designation:D690806(Reapproved 2010)Standard Practice forIntegrity Testing of Water Filtration Membrane Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6908;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of las
2、t revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the determination of the integrity ofwater filtration membrane elements and systems using airbased tests(
3、pressure decay and vacuum hold),soluble dye,continuous monitoring particulate light scatter techniques,andTOC monitoring tests for the purpose of rejecting particles andmicrobes.The tests are applicable to systems with membranesthat have a nominal pore size less than about 1 m.The TOC,and Dye,tests
4、are generally applicable to NF and RO classmembranes only.1.2 This practice does not purport to cover all availablemethods of integrity testing.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purpor
