Abstract

This document provides guidance and specifications for the determination of personal exposure to gases and vapours in welding and allied processes. It applies to the following thermal processes used to join, cut, surface or remove metals:

(111)ÌýÌýÌý Manual metal arc welding (metal arc welding with covered electrode); shielded metal arc

welding /USA/

(114)ÌýÌýÌý Self-shielded tubular-cored arc welding

(131)ÌýÌýÌý Metal inert gas welding; MIG welding; gas metal arc welding /USA/

(135)ÌýÌýÌý Metal active gas welding; MAG welding; gas metal arc welding /USA/

(136)ÌýÌýÌý Tubular-cored metal arc welding with active gas shield; flux cored arc welding /USA/

(137)ÌýÌýÌý Tubular-cored metal arc welding with inert gas shield; flux cored arc welding /USA/

(141)ÌýÌýÌý Tungsten inert gas arc welding; TIG welding; gas tungsten arc welding /USA/

(15)ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Plasma arc welding;

(31)ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Oxy-fuel gas welding; oxy-fuel gas welding /USA/

(52)ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Laser beam welding;

(912)ÌýÌýÌý Flame brazing; torch brazing /USA/

(97)ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Braze welding;

Ìý

—ÌýÌýÌýÌý arc and flame gouging;

—ÌýÌýÌýÌý arc and laser cutting processes;

—ÌýÌýÌýÌý flame and plasma cutting processes;

—ÌýÌýÌýÌý metal-spraying (see Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ìý4063).

The following gases and vapours which can be produced or be present during welding and allied processes are covered:

—ÌýÌýÌýÌý ozone (O3);

—ÌýÌýÌýÌý carbon monoxide (CO);

—ÌýÌýÌýÌý carbon dioxide (CO2);

—ÌýÌýÌýÌý nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2);

—ÌýÌýÌýÌý vapours produced in the welding or cutting of metals having paint or other surface coatings.

Fuel, oxidant and shielding gases used in welding and allied processes are not covered.

The general background level of gases and vapours in the workplace atmosphere influences personal exposure, and therefore the role of fixed-point measurements is also considered.
