Health and safety in welding and allied processes - Laboratory method for sampling fume and gases - Part 3: Determination of ozone emission rate during arc welding (ISO 15011-3:2009)

This part of ISO 15011 defines a laboratory method for measuring the emission rate of ozone during arc welding, using a hood technique. The method is directed primarily at measuring ozone emission rate when using gas-shielded arc welding processes, but it can also be employed with other processes, e.g. selfshielded flux-cored arc welding, provided that welding can be performed automatically under the hood. The method can be used to evaluate the effects of welding wires, welding parameters, processes, shielding gases, test piece composition and test piece surface condition on emission rate.

Dieser Teil von ISO 15011 legt Laborverfahren zur Bestimmung der Emissionsrate von Ozon beim Lichtbogen-schweißen mit Hilfe der Haubentechnik fest. Die Methodik ist in erster Linie auf das Messen der Emissions-rate von Ozon beim Schutzgasschweißen ausgerichtet, kann aber auch bei anderen Prozessen, z. B. selbstschützendes Fülldrahtschweißen, verwendet werden, vorausgesetzt, das Schweißen kann unter der Haube automatisch durchgeführt werden.
Das Verfahren kann zur Bewertung der Auswirkungen von Schweißdrähten, Schweißparametern, Verfahren, Schutzgasen, Zusammensetzung des Prüfstücks und Oberflächenbeschaffenheit des Prüfstücks auf die Emis¬sionsrate verwendet werden.

Ta del ISO 15011 določa laboratorijsko metodo za merjenje emisij ozona med obločnim varjenjem z uporabo tehnike z varovalnim okrovom. Metoda je namenjena predvsem merjenju emisije ozona med obločnim varjenjem v zaščitnem plinu, lahko pa se uporabi tudi pri drugih postopkih, npr. pri obločnem varjenju s polnjeno žico s samozaščito, pod pogojem, da varjenje poteka avtomatsko pod varovalnim okrovom. Metoda se lahko uporablja za vrednotenje učinkov žic za varjenje, varilnih parametrov, postopkov, zaščitnih plinov, sestave preskusnih kosov in stanja površine preskusnih kosov na emisijo.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried 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. 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 International 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 elements 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 15011-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee
SC 9, Health and safety.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (15011-3:2002), which has been technically revised.
ISO 15011 consists of the following parts, under the general title Health and safety in welding and allied

ISO 15011-3:2009(E)
Introduction
Welding and allied processes generate fume and gases, which, if inhaled, can be harmful to human health.
Knowledge of the composition and the emission rates of the fume and gases can be useful to occupational
health professionals in assessing worker exposure and in determining appropriate control measures.
Absolute exposure is dependent upon factors such as welder position with respect to the plume and draughts
and cannot be predicted from emission rate data. However, in the same work situation, a higher emission rate
is expected to correlate with a higher exposure and a lower emission rate with a lower exposure. Hence,
emission rate data can be used to predict relative changes in exposure that might occur in the workplace
under different welding conditions and to identify measures for reducing such exposure, but they cannot be
used to calculate ventilation requirements.
This part of ISO 15011 defines a method for measuring the emission rate of ozone during arc welding using a
hood technique. The procedure simply prescribes a methodology, leaving selection of the test parameters to
[2]
the user, so that the effects of different variables can be evaluated. Research has shown that differences in
ozone emission rate measured using this technique correlate well with changes in exposure in the workplace.
It is assumed that the executions of the provisions and the interpretation of the results obtained in this part of
ISO 15011 are entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.

Part 3:
Determination of ozone emission rate during arc welding
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15011 defines a laboratory method for measuring the emission rate of ozone during arc
welding, using a hood technique. The method is directed primarily at measuring ozone emission rate when
using gas-shielded arc welding processes, but it can also be employed with other processes, e.g. self-
shielded flux-cored arc welding, provided that welding can be performed automatically under the hood.
The method can be used to evaluate the effects of welding wires, welding parameters, processes, shielding
gases, test piece composition and test piece surface condition on emission rate.

4 Principle
Arc welding is performed automatically, on a test piece, inside a continuously extracted test chamber of the
“hood” type. The ozone concentration (in millilitres per cubic metre) at a fixed sampling position inside the
hood and the air flow rate through the hood (in cubic metres per minute) are measured. The ozone emission
rate (in millilitres per minute) is calculated by multiplying the ozone concentration at the fixed measuring point
by the air flow rate.
5 Equipment and materials
5.1 Hood, semi-enclosed, continuously extracted chamber of the “hood” type, in which ozone emission rate
tests are performed during arc welding. The hood shall be designed in accordance with the dimensions shown
in Figure 1. The sampling position shall be 1 000 mm vertically from the base of the hood. The inside of the
hood shall be non-reflecting.
NOTE See A.1 for guidance on the construction of the hood.
3
5.2 Extraction unit, capable of maintaining an air flow rate of 2 m /min through the hood (5.1), such that
the ozone emitted is contained, but not so high as to compromise weld metal integrity (see A.2). The precise
characteristics of the extraction unit are not critical.
5.3 Ozone meter and logging system, consisting of a calibrated ozone meter employing the
chemiluminescence principle of measurement. The meter shall be capable of measuring ozone concentrations
3
up to 10 ml/m . The ozone meter shall be connected to a digital logging system with a logging frequency of
1 s or less (see A.3). Ozone meters that provide equivalent performance to that obtained with
chemiluminescence meters may also be used.
The calibration of the meter shall be traceable to national standards.
5.4 Sampling system, consisting of a sampling line between the sampling point and the ozone meter,
manufactured from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or stainless steel or a combination of both. The sampling
line shall have an internal diameter of 10 mm or less and shall be as short as is reasonably practicable. Fume
shall be prevented from entering the sampling line using a PTFE filter. The filter shall be placed as close as is
reasonably practicable to the sampling point (see A.4).
5.5 Ozone generator, used to precondition the sampling line and to calibrate the ozone meter.
NOTE Sometimes, ozone meters and generators are incorporated into the same piece of equipment.
If an ozone generator is used to calibrate the ozone meter (5.3), its calibration shall be traceable to national
standards.

be connected to a logging system with a logging frequency of 1 s or less.
⎯ A flow meter with a calibrated relationship between pressure difference and air flow rate, e.g. an orifice
plate, together with a digital manometer with a reading accuracy of at least 0,1 Pa to measure the
pressure difference across it. The calibration of the flow meter and the digital manometer shall be
traceable to national standards. The digital manometer shall, itself, have a logging capability or be
connected to a logging system with a logging frequency of 1 s or less.
