19、 Summary of tests 10Bibliography .16BS EN ISO 15615:2013ISO 15615:2013(E)ForewordISO (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 tech
20、nical 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-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
21、 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 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft Int
22、ernational 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 vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document ma
23、y be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 15615 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee SC 8, Equipment for gas welding, cutting and allied processes.This second edition can
24、cels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15615:2002), which has been technically revised.Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this International Standard should be directed to the Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 8 via your national standards body.

All metal components in contact with gas should be electrically continuous to prevent static electricity discharges.5 Requirements5.1 GeneralThe general requirements (see 5.2) apply to all the devices defined in Clause 3. The multifunctional safety devices shal

37、all times, before and after the tests.2 ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 15615:2013ISO 15615:2013(E)5.2.3 Internal gas tightnessWhere internal gas tightness is required in this International Standard, the leakage rate shall not exceed 50 cm3/h for devices with a connection internal bore (diamet
38、er) less than 11 mm, or less than 0,41d2for larger diameters. See 6.9 for test details.NOTE The expression 0,41d2gives the value of the flow in cm3/h when d is the internal bore (diameter), in mm, of the largest connection in the device.5.2.4 Internal gas tightness after decomposition testWhere inte
39、rnal gas tightness is required after acetylene decomposition, the leakage rate shall not exceed 50 l/h.
