Matériel de soudage à l'arc - Partie 2: Systèmes de refroidissement par liquide
La CEI 60974-2:2013 spécifie les exigences de sécurité et de construction des systèmes de refroidissement par liquide industriels et professionnels utilisés en soudage à l'arc et techniques connexes pour refroidir des torches. La présente partie de la CEI 60974 s'applique aux systèmes de refroidissement par liquide indépendants qui sont soit raccordés à une source de courant de soudage séparée soit incorporés dans l'enveloppe de la source de courant de soudage. La présente partie de la CEI 60974 ne s'applique pas aux systèmes de refroidissement avec réfrigération. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la seconde édition parue en 2007 et constitue une révision technique. Les modifications techniques majeures par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivantes: - modifications induites par la publication de la CEI 60974-1:2012; - addition d'une température du liquide fixée à 65 °C pendant l'essai d'échauffement afin de permettre les essais à différentes températures ambiantes (voir 10 d)); - facteur de correction de la puissance de refroidissement à 40 °C requis dans le manuel d'instructions (voir 12.1 o)).

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60974-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 26:
Electric welding.
This third edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007 and constitutes a
technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
• changes induced by the publication of IEC 60974-1:2012;
• addition of a liquid temperature fixed to 65 °C during the heating test in order to allow
testing at different ambient air temperature (see 10 d));
• correction factor of cooling power at 40 °C required in instruction manual (see 12.1 o)).
