16、 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). 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 com
17、mittee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrot
18、echnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the mem
19、ber bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

ISO 15012-2 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 121, Welding, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee SC 9, Health and safety, in accordance with the Agr

BS EN ISO 15012-2:2008iv Introduction Welding and allied processes generate fume and gases, which, if inhaled, can be harmf
24、ul to human health. Control is often required to maintain exposure at acceptable levels and this can be achieved by capturing the fume and gases using local exhaust ventilation (LEV), which consists of a capture device, such as a captor hood or nozzle, connected, via ducting, to an exhaust system. T
25、he plume of welding fume rises at a velocity of about 0,3 m/s and the air draughts commonly encountered in workshops are of the same order and can be higher. Effective capture of welding fume and gases can only be achieved when the extracted air velocity at the emission point exceeds the resulting v
26、elocity of the draught and the plume, so a velocity of 0,4 m/s has been selected for testing. For a particular capture device, this capture velocity can only be achieved by applying a minimum air volume flow rate, which is dependent upon the aspect ratio, the cross-sectional area of the device and i
27、ts distance from the emission point. Consequently, capture devices need to be used with exhaust systems that provide, at least, the minimum air volume flow rate. The design of capture devices can be very different. Aspect ratios range from those applicable to circular hoods to those of slots, so the
28、 size and shape of the area (capture zone) where fume and gases are captured, while using the minimum air volume flow rate, also varies considerably. Therefore, this part of ISO 15012 requires manufacturers of capture devices to measure the minimum air volume flow rate at measurement points selected
29、 to give an estimate of the size and shape of the capture zone.

30、s part of ISO 15012 specifies a method for establishing the minimum air volume flow rate required for captor hoods and nozzles to effectively capture fume and gases from welding and allied processes. The method can be used with capture devices of any aspect ratio and cross-sectional area, but it is
31、not applicable to on-gun extraction systems and down draught tables. This part of ISO 15012 also specifies the test data to be marked on the capture devices. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

41、me NOTE The minimum air volume flow rate depends on the type and the geometric dimensions of the capture device and the test positions selected to demonstrate the extent of the capture zone (see 7.2). BS EN ISO 15012-2:20084 4 Principle Tests are performed to determine the air volume flow rate requi
42、red to achieve an air velocity of 0,4 m/s at a minimum of two measurements points in front of the capture device on a measurement plane parallel to the entry plane of the capture device. Three tests are performed at each measurement point with air volume flow rates that provide approximate velocitie
43、s of 0,3 m/s, 0,4 m/s and 0,5 m/s. The air volume flow rate that provides a velocity of exactly 0,4 m/s at each measurement point is calculated from linear regression of the results. The minimum air volume flow rate of the capture device is taken to be the highest of the values obtained at the diffe
44、rent measurement points. NOTE The minimum air volume flow rate is determined in this manner because it is difficult to set an air volume flow rate that gives an air velocity of exactly 0,4 m/s at a given measurement point. 5 Requirement The manufacturer of a hood or nozzle shall use the results of t
45、hese tests to specify and mark the device with the minimum air volume flow rate required to achieve an air velocity of 0,4 m/s in the measurement plane, the distance of the measurement plane from the entry plane and the position of the measurement points selected to demonstrate the extent of the cap
46、ture zone of the device. The measurement points shall be identified by their (x, y)-co-ordinates projected from the entry plane. NOTE A hood or nozzle is expected to achieve effective capture of welding fume if it is operated with an air volume flow rate greater than or equal to the determined minim
47、um air volume flow rate and, in addition, if it is positioned at a distance less than or equal to the distance between the measurement plane and the entry plane of the device. 6 Equipment 6.1 Anemometer, suitable for measuring air velocities in the range 0,3 m/s to 0,5 m/s with a maximum uncertainty
