EN 60974-7:2013

Arc welding equipment - Part 7:Torches

IEC 60974-7:2013 specifies safety and construction requirements for torches for arc welding and allied processes. This part of IEC 60974 is applicable to manual, mechanically guided, air-cooled, liquid-cooled, motorized, spool-on and fume extraction torches. In this part of IEC 60974, a torch consists of the torch body, the cable-hose assembly and other components. This part of IEC 60974 is also applicable to a cable-hose assembly connected between a power source and ancillary equipment. This part of IEC 60974 is not applicable to electrode holders for manual metal arc welding or air-arc cutting/gouging. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2007 and constitutes a technical revision. The significant changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below: - new requirement for degree of protection of torch coupling device (see Table 1); - scope is extended to cable-hose assembly connected between a power source and ancillary equipment (see Clause 1); - torch parts, as recommended by the manufacturer, are included in the safe plasma cutting system design (see 7.4.2); - new flammability requirement for handle material (see 11.3).

Matériel de soudage à l'arc - Partie 7: Torches

La CEI 60974-7:2013 spécifie les règles de sécurité et de construction applicables aux torches pour le soudage à l'arc et les procédés connexes. La présente partie s'applique pour les torches manuelles, guidées mécaniquement, refroidies par air, refroidies par liquide, motorisées, enroulées et avec extraction de fumée. Dans la présente partie de la CEI 60974, une torche comprend le corps de torche, le faisceau et d'autres composants. La présente partie de la CEI 60974 s'applique aussi à un faisceau qui est connecté entre une source de courant de soudage et l'équipement auxiliaire. La présente partie de la CEI 60974 ne s'applique pas aux porte-électrode pour le soudage à l'arc métallique manuel ni au coupage/gougeage air-arc. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la seconde édition publiée en 2007 et constitue une révision technique. Les modifications principales par rapport à l'édition précédente sont listées ci-après: - nouvelle exigence pour le degré de protection du dispositif de couplage de la torche (voir Tableau 1); - domaine d'application élargi au faisceau connecté entre une source de courant et l'équipement auxiliaire (voir Article 1); - les parties de la torche, recommandées par le fabricant, sont incluses dans la conception sûre du système de coupage plasma (voir 7.4.2); - nouvelle exigence d'inflammabilité pour le matériel du manche (voir 11.3).

Naprave za obločno varjenje - 7. del: Gorilniki

Ta del IEC 60974 določa varnostne in konstrukcijske zahteve za plamena za obločno varjenje in podobne postopke. Ta del IEC 60974 se nanaša na ročna, mehansko vodena, zračno hlajena, tekočinsko hlajena, motorizirana plamena z navojem in plamena z ekstrakcijo dima. V tem delu IEC 60974 je plamen sestavljen iz telesa plamena, sestava kabelske cevi in drugih sestavnih delov. Ta del IEC 60974 se nanaša tudi na sestav kabelske cevi, priključen na vir napajanja in standardno opremo. Ta del IEC 60974 se ne nanaša na držala elektrod za ročno obločno varjenje kovine ali rezanje/dolbenje zračnega obloka.
OPOMBA 1 Tipični sorodni postopki so električno obločno rezanje in brizganje.
OPOMBA 2 Drugi sestavni deli so na seznamu v preglednici A.1.
OPOMBA 3 V tem delu IEC 60974 sta izraza »plamen« in »pištola« zamenljiva. Za lažjo uporabo je v naslednjem besedilu uporabljen izraz »plamen«.
