FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Compressors, Blowers and Exhausters Sectional Committee had been approved by the Heavy Mechanical
Engineering Division Council.
The standard covers the compressors for booster and vacuum applications and shall be of cross head
type, lubricated or non-lubricated construction.
However, it excludes the hermatically sealed type air
conditioning/refrigeration
compressors ( not industrial type ), piston type and high speed separable
natural gas compressors.
In the preparation of this standard, assistance has been derived from IS0 8012-1988 Compressors
for
the process industry - Reciprocating
types - Specifications and data sheets for their design and
construction and API 618-1986 Reciprocating compressors for general refinery purposes.

6.1 General Compressor
Primemover and auxiliary equipment shall be
selected for continuous duty at the specified operating
conditions. While selecting, care shall be taken so
that maintenance shall be carried out easily.
6.2 Allowable Speeds

6.5.1 F& direct coupled drive/geared drive ( including V-belt drive), the supplier shall be responsible
to carry out torsional vibration analysis after the
receipt of order and ensure that the system is free from
dangerous torsional vibration within the operating
range.

6.2.1 The crankshaft speed and mean piston speed

shall be selected by the supplier so that satisfactory
operation is obtained under the required service conditions over a suitable period according to the state of
the art. The supplier shall state the mean piston speed
in the data sheet.

6.5.1.1 Torsional natural frequencies of the driver

compressor system ( including coupling and any gear
unit ) shall be avoided within 10 percent of any
operating shaft speed and within 5 percent of any
other multiple of the operating shaft speed in the

6.5.2 In case, the primemover is not the scope of
supplier, the purchaser shall provide the details to the
supplier to carry out analysis. Any changes required

of gas, lubrication, pressure, etc.
6.2.4 The purchaser shall only give maximum allowable values in the enquiry and order specifications if
special experience indicates that this is necessary.

6.5.3 In case of variable drive, the supplier shall

clearly indicate the speed limits.

values mentioned in Table 1 at full load operation.
When resilient couplings are used their influence
shall also be considered.

The purchaser shall specify the type of guard, that is,
antistatic, expanded metal, etc, if specifically required and
nothing specified, the supplier shall
supply his own requirements.

The purchaser shall clearly indicate in the data sheet

points where temperatures and pressures are required
to be measured. The supplier shall submit with offer
the PI diagram indicating the instrumentation
included. This PI diagram shall be considered as a
reference and final PI diagram shall be submitted by
the supplier for the approval of the purchaser.

Lubrication
General

The supplier shall specify full particulars about the

type of oil and its equivalent to be used for frame and
cylinder block ( if lubricated ).

9.16.1 The purchaser

9.15.1.1 The
frame lubrication
system shall be
pressurised
systems. Splash system is not recommended. Crank case oil temperature shall not exceed
70C for ambient temperature of 40C. Pressurised
lubrication system shall consist of suction strainer and
an inbuilt relief valve, oil pump, fuel flow filter and
other necessary instruments to be mutually agreed
upon. In case of separate oil pump (not shaft driven),

shall specify the type of conelectro pneumatic, dual,etc,in

9.16.2 The purchaser shall also specify the required

capacity control and the cycle of operation expected.
9.17 Gauges
The pressure gauges offered shall be suitable for the
