Gas welding equipment. Flowmeter regulators used on cylinders for welding, cutting and allied processes. Classifications, specifications and tests.

La présente norme fixe les conditions de construction et de fonctionnement auxquelles doivent satisfaire les détendeurs avec débitmètres employés sur des bouteilles de gaz ou mélanges de gaz liquéfiés ou comprimés pour les applications des procédés de soudage sous protection gazeuse par exemple TIG, soudage plasma, MIG, MAG, MOG.

Gas 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)

ISO 2503:2009 specifies requirements for single or two-stage pressure regulators without flow-metering devices for connection to gas cylinders used for compressed gases up to 300 bar (30 MPa), dissolved acetylene, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), methylacetylene‑propadiene mixtures (MPS), and carbon dioxide (CO2), for use in welding, cutting and allied processes. It does not cover pressure regulators having a nominal outlet pressure p2 > 20 bar. ISO 2503:2009 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), 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 plasma cutting. Annex B gives examples of flow-control systems and their flow-measuring devices.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
