23、 The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
24、governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part
25、2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a
26、 vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 2503 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommi
27、ttee SC 8, Equipment for gas welding, cutting and allied processes. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 2503:1998), and also ISO 7292:1997, which have been technically revised. Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this International Standard should be di
28、rected to the Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 8 via your national standards body. A complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org.

29、ISO 2009 All rights reserved 1Gas welding equipment Pressure regulators and pressure regulators with flow-metering devices for gas cylinders used in welding, cutting and allied processes up to 300 bar (30 MPa) 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements for single or two-stage pressur
30、e regulators without flow-metering devices for connection to gas cylinders used for compressed gases up to 300 bar 1)(30 MPa), dissolved acetylene, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), methylacetylene-propadiene mixtures (MPS), and carbon dioxide (CO2), for use in welding, cutting and allied processes.
31、It does not cover pressure regulators having a nominal outlet pressure p2 20 bar. This International Standard also specifies requirements for single or two-stage pressure regulators with flow-metering devices for connection to gas cylinders used for compressed gases or mixtures up to 300 bar (30 MPa
32、), and carbon dioxide (CO2), for use in welding, cutting and allied processes. Typical processes using this equipment are: tungsten inert-gas arc welding (TIG), metal-arc inert-gas welding (MIG), metal-arc active-gas welding (MAG), plasma arc welding, tubular-cored-wiretubular-cored-wire welding and
33、 plasma cutting. Annex B gives examples of flow-control systems and their flow-measuring devices. This International Standard does not cover pressure regulators intended for direct use on cylinder bundles. Such regulators comply with the safety requirements of ISO 7291, in particular with the adiaba
34、tic compression test for oxygen regulators. NOTE In addition to terms used in English and French, two of the three official ISO languages (English, French and Russian), this document gives the equivalent terms in German; these are published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DI
35、N), and are given for information only. Only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions. 1) 300 bar relates to the maximum cylinder filling pressure at 15 C.
