1 Scope
This standard specifies the technical requirements for the design and construction of turbo- and related types of compressors used in the process industry. It also details the documentation requirements.
2 Field of Application
This standard applies to radial and axial flow turbo-compressors. It covers the minimum requirements for such compressors handling air or gas, and which have a specific compression work of more than 25000 J/kg. It is recommended that this standard be used for other turbo-compressors if this standard are required for the particular application.
This standard also covers certain requirements for compressor drivers, drive equipment, lubrication and sealing liquid systems, controls, instrumentation and auxiliary equipment.
The compressors to which this standard applies are not normally used for critical process applications in refineries.

4 ●Unit System
SI units (i.e. international system of units) are used throughout this standard (see ISO 1000).
However, in addition to SI units, this standard also uses some non-S1 units accepted by ISO 1000. These units are as follows:
For pressure: bar (1 bar=105 Pa)
For volume: Litre (1 Litre=10-3 m3)
For time: min(1 min=60 s)
For time: h (1 h=3.6×103s)
For rotational speed: r/min (1 r/min=2π/60 rad/s)
