FOREWORD
The Iranian Petroleum Standards (IPS) reflect the
views of the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum and are
intended for use in the oil and gas production
facilities,
oil
refineries,
chemical
and
petrochemical plants, gas handling and processing
installations and other such facilities.
IPS is based on internationally acceptable
standards and includes selections from the items
stipulated in the referenced standards. They are
also supplemented by additional requirements
and/or modifications based on the experience
acquired by the Iranian Petroleum Industry and the
local market availability. The options which are
not specified in the text of the standards are
itemized in data sheet/s, so that, the user can select
his appropriate preferences therein.
The IPS standards are therefore expected to be
sufficiently flexible so that the users can adapt
these standards to their requirements. However,
they may not cover every requirement of each
project. For such cases, an addendum to IPS
Standard shall be prepared by the user which
elaborates the particular requirements of the user.
This addendum together with the relevant IPS shall
form the job specification for the specific project
or work.
The IPS is reviewed and up-dated approximately
every five years. Each standards are subject to
amendment or withdrawal, if required, thus the
latest edition of IPS shall be applicable
The users of IPS are therefore requested to send
their views and comments, including any
addendum prepared for particular cases to the
following address. These comments and
recommendations will be reviewed by the relevant
technical committee and in case of approval will
be incorporated in the next revision of the
standard.

APPENDIX C

APPLICABLE DEFINITIONS FOR THIS

SPECIFICATION

The following definitions shall hold for the

specification of battery and battery charger.

.
: -1

1. Float charging:

The float charging is passing an electric current

through the battery bank, by applying a constant
DC voltage in order to maintain the battery in the
state of fully charged condition.

: -2

2. Equalize charging:

. .
.

The equalize charging is passing sufficient

electric current through the battery bank, by
applying a controlled DC voltage in order to
restore the partially or totally discharged battery
in a limited time. This operation is performed
automatically. The time duration is specified in
this specification.

: -3

3. Boost charging:

. .

.
.

The boost charging is passing sufficient electric

current through the battery bank, by applying a
controlled DC voltage in order to charge rapidly a
partially or totally discharged battery in a
predetermined time. This operation is performed
manually. The duration for boost charging will be
selected by the operator. During manual boost
charging the charger and the associated battery
bank will be isolated from the loads.

: -4

4. Note :

The voltage limits for Float charging, Equalize

charging and Boost charging shall be selected by
battery manufacturer's recommendations.
