GOST 28567-90 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 28567-90 — Compressors. Terms and definitions. The standard establishes standardized terms, their definitions and alphabetic indexes (Russian and foreign-language equivalents) used in compressor engineering; it includes tables of standardized terms and an informative appendix with a classification scheme for compressors.

Abstract

GOST 28567-90 defines terminology and definitions for compressors and compressor assemblies/units used in industrial practice. It sets one standardized term per concept (prohibiting use of synonymous variants), provides tables with definitions, alphabetic indices (Russian, English, German), and a classification scheme by principle of action and main constructive features. The standard excludes aircraft engine-mounted (aviation) compressors.

General information

• Status: Active (in force / Действует).
• Publication date: Introduced 01 July 1991; approved by the State Committee for Standards of the USSR (decision of 30 May 1990).
• Publisher: Approved and published under the State Committee of the USSR for Standards (Gosstandart); published by the Standards Publishing House.
• ICS / categories: ICS 01.040.23 (Vocabularies — fluid systems and components), also related classification 23.140 (compressors / pneumatic machines).
• Edition / version: GOST 28567-90 (original edition approved 1990, introduced 1991).
• Number of pages: Reported page counts vary by publisher/printing (commonly 20–27 pages depending on edition/format); many catalog records list 27 pages.

Scope

This standard applies to compressor technology terminology used in technical documentation, standards and literature related to compressors and compressor systems. It standardizes the names and definitions of compressor types, components and parameters, provides short forms where appropriate, and gives foreign-language equivalents for a number of terms. It does not apply to aviation compressors that are integral parts of aircraft engines.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized terms and one official definition per concept (synonymous alternative terms are marked as not permissible).
• Tables of terms with definitions and — where appropriate — short forms and foreign-language equivalents (English, German).
• Alphabetical indexes of Russian terms and their foreign-language equivalents.
• Classification scheme for compressors by principle of action and main constructive features (informative appendix).
• Definitions of principal parameters and operating characteristics (e.g., discharge pressure/temperature, stage/section, capacity, displacement vs. dynamic compressors).
• Requirement that changes to definitions (when used to add derived features) must not alter the core scope and meaning established by the standard.

Typical use and users

Engineers and designers of compressor equipment, technical writers and documentation specialists, standards developers, equipment manufacturers, procurement and quality managers, testing and certification bodies, and academic researchers use this terminology standard to ensure consistent naming and understanding across design, manufacturing, testing and regulatory documentation.

Related standards

GOST 28567-90 references and aligns terminology with several ISO standards in the field of compressor and fluid-system terminology (for example ISO 3857‑1, ISO 3857‑2 and ISO 5390 as noted in the information section). It replaced OST 26.12.2032‑86 and is cited by related national and industry standards dealing with compressor performance, testing and safety.

Keywords

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 28567-90 is a terminology standard titled "Compressors. Terms and definitions" that establishes standardized names and definitions used across compressor engineering.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers standardized terms, definitions, short forms, foreign-language equivalents (selected English and German terms), alphabetical indexes and an informative classification scheme for compressors by principle of action and main constructive features; it does not cover aviation compressors that form part of aircraft engines.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, design and maintenance engineers, technical documentation authors, standards bodies, test laboratories and procurement/quality personnel use it to ensure consistent terminology in specifications, drawings, manuals, standards and technical literature.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Catalog records and public standard libraries list GOST 28567-90 as active (in force) — introduced 01 July 1991 — but users should verify the current national status or any later amendments through the appropriate national standards catalog before relying on it for compliance or regulatory purposes.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is a standalone terminology standard for compressors but is related to other GOST/ISO standards on compressor testing, performance and classification; historically it replaced OST 26.12.2032-86 and aligns terminology with relevant ISO vocabulary documents.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Compressor, compressor set, compressor unit, displacement compressor, centrifugal compressor, axial compressor, discharge pressure, capacity, classification, terminology.
