The work of preparing International Standards is normally carr
16、ied 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-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
17、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 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare Internat
18、ional 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 vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the e
19、lements 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 14175 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee SC 3, Welding consumables. This second edition cancels an
20、d replaces the first edition (ISO 14175:1997) 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 3 via your national standards body, a complete listing of which can be found at w
21、ww.iso.org. BS EN ISO 14175:2008blank1Welding consumables Gases and gas mixtures for fusion welding and allied processes 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements for the classification of gases and gas mixtures used in fusion welding and allied processes including, but not limited
22、to: tungsten arc welding (Process 141); gas-shielded metal arc welding (Process 13); plasma arc welding (Process 15); plasma arc cutting (Process 83); laser welding (Process 52); laser cutting (Process 84); arc braze welding (Process 972). NOTE Process numbers are in accordance with ISO 4063. The pu
23、rpose of this International Standard is to classify and designate shielding, backing, process and assist gases in accordance with their chemical properties and metallurgical behaviour as the basis for correct selection by the user and to simplify the possible qualification procedures. Gas purities a
24、nd mixing tolerances are specified as delivered by the supplier (manufacturer) and not at the point of use. Gases or gas mixtures may be supplied in either liquid or gaseous form, but when used for welding and allied processes, the gases are always used in the gaseous form. Fuel gases, such as acety
25、lene, natural gas, propane, etc., and resonator gases, as used in gas lasers, are not covered by this International Standard. Transportation and handling of gases and containers shall be in accordance with local, national and regional standards and regulations as required. 2 Normative references The
26、 following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 31-0:1992, Quantities and units Part 0: General

28、 the symbol for the gas or gas mixture (main group and sub-group) 3.3 component gaseous substance that is essential to the performance of the gas mixture EXAMPLE In a mixture containing 11 % of CO2in argon, CO2is considered a component while argon is the base gas. 3.4 container vessel used for the s
29、hipment and/or storage of pure or mixed gases in a gaseous or liquid state 3.5 designation classification plus the symbols for all chemical components plus the nominal composition in volume percent NOTE Symbols for chemical components are given in 5.2. EXAMPLE A mixture of argon containing 11 % CO2i

31、orresponds to the general composition given by the designation 3.9 symbol main-group and sub-group of a gas mixture NOTE Symbols are given in Table 2 (see also 5.1).

Possible influences must be considered by the user. 4.2 Rounding-off procedure For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements of this International Standard, the actua
35、l test values obtained shall be subjected to the rounding-off rules of ISO 31-0:1992, Annex B, Rule A. If the measured values are obtained by equipment calibrated in units other than those of this International Standard, the measured values shall be converted to the units of this International Stand
36、ard before rounding off. If an average value is to be compared to the requirements of this International Standard, rounding off shall be done only after calculating the average. In the case where the testing standard cited in the normative references of this International Standard contains instructi
37、ons for rounding off that conflict with the instructions of this International Standard, the rounding-off requirements of the testing standard shall apply. The rounded-off results shall fulfill the requirements of the appropriate table for the classification under test. 5 Classification and designat
