Introduction
Welding and allied processes produce particulate fume and gaseous by-products which may be harmful to human
health. A knowledge of the quantity of particulate fume and gases generated and the composition of the particulate
fume may be useful for occupational hygienists in accessing workplace atmospheres. Emission rates cannot be
directly related to fume concentrations existing in a welder's breathing zone, but processes with low emission rates
are supposed to produce less fume concentration compared with high emission rates for the same welding
condition.
The laboratory procedure described in Part 1 of this standard is used to determine emission rate of particulate fume
generated by the arc welding and provides a method of sampling the fume for chemical analysis. The emission rate
and composition of particulate fume depend on the welding process, welding parameters, workpiece surface,
coatings etc.
With the aid of a fume box in an un-polluted atmosphere, the total particulate fume generated during welding is
collected and sampled on a filter in order to determine the emission rate and/or chemical composition.
1 Scope
This European standard describes a method for the determination of the particulate fume emission rate from arc
welding processes using a fume box technique. It defines a method of sampling particulate fume for chemical
analysis and suggests possible analytical techniques in order to characterize fumes emitted by consumable during
welding.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
fume box
a closed or semi-closed ventilated chamber used for sampling and determination (emission rate and composition)
of fume and gases in welding and allied processes
2.2
test piece
piece of metal on which the welding process is performed
2.3
arc time
arc time starts from arc initiation and stops immediately as the arc is extinguished
3 Test equipment
3.1 Fume box
The fume box should consist of a top section containing a filter, a welding chamber and a chamber base. The
welding chamber shall be large enough to allow complete capture of the emitted fume. The fume box should be
designed to reduce deposition of welding fume onto the internal box surface. Examples of possible arrangements
are described in annex A, as an example. Other appropriate fume box designs may be used.
