19、countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and UnitedKingdom. Endorsement notice The text of the International Standard ISO9090:19

20、89 was approved by CEN as a European Standard without any modification.EN29090:1992 BSI 08-1999 3 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the maximum external leakage rates which are acceptable for equipment used for welding, cutting and allied processes. It applies to individual components wh

21、ich are used in the gas supply to a blowpipe from the connecting point of the hose (outlet of the cylinder valve or connecting point to a gas supply plant). It does not apply to gas supply plants. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text

22、, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editi

23、ons of the standards listed below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. ISO 2503:1983, Pressure regulators for gas cylinders used in welding, cutting and allied processes. ISO 3821:1977, Welding Flexible hoses for gas welding and allied processes. 3 D

24、efinition For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definition applies. 3.1 external gas leakage undesired escape of gas to the atmosphere 4 Expression of leakage The maximum permissible external leakage rates which are specified in this International Standard are total leakage

25、rates for a complete component including inlet connections. These rates are given in cubic centimetres per hour 1)of the gas for which the equipment was designed, corrected to standard conditions 2) , measured at room temperature. NOTEConnections that are necessary only for the test are excluded. 5

26、Gas to be used for the tests Devices to be used with helium shall be tested with helium and devices to be used with hydrogen shall be tested with hydrogen or helium. Devices to be used with other gases shall be tested with dry oil-free air or nitrogen. If the test is carried out with a gas other tha

27、n the gas for which the equipment is designed, appropriate corrections shall be made (seeAnnex A). 6 Test pressure 6.1 Regulators Regulators shall be tested at pressures p 1and p 2as defined in ISO2503. 6.2 Other equipment 6.2.1 Type tests Other devices shall be tested at the following pressures: a)

28、 maximum working pressure as given by the manufacturer; b) 10% of the maximum working pressure. 6.2.2 Routine tests All devices shall be tested at that pressure (of the two pressures specified in 6.2.1) which gave the most unfavourable results during the type tests. 7 Maximum permissible leakage rat

29、es NOTEThe leakage rate for individual devices will be incorporated directly in the relevant standards for that device when they are revised. 7.1 Regulators Regulators shall not have a total leakage rate greater than 10cm 3 /h. 7.2 Blowpipes With the gas hose connected to one of the inlet connection

30、s, blowpipes shall be submitted to the following test: a) Close off the nozzle and the other inlet connection and half-open both the valves. Permissible leakage rate: 8cm 3 /h b) Close off the nozzle and open the second inlet connection; half-open valve2 and close valve1. Permissible leakage rate: 4

Permissible leakage rate: 4cm 3 /h NOTEThis test procedure enables total leakage and leakage through each

32、 valve to be tested. 7.3 Safety devices Safety devices shall not have a total leakage rate greater than 8cm 3 /h. 7.4 Quick-action couplings Connected quick-action couplings shall not have a total leakage rate greater than 10cm 3 /h. 7.5 Devices with combined functions Devices with combined function

33、s shall have a total leakage rate not exceeding the maximum rate applicable to any individual function. 7.6 Other equipment Other equipment which may be used on an installation for gas welding and allied processes shall not have an overall leakage rate greater than8cm 3 /h. 7.7 Hoses Hoses shall con

34、form to the requirements laid down in ISO3821 in terms of the leakage rate and/or gas permeability. 8 Measurement of the leakage rate The method described below is used to determine the leakage rate of a device; it is a type test method which determines whether a device conforms to the requirements

35、specified in clause7. For routine purposes, manufacturers may use whatever method is most suited to their requirements. 8.1 Principle of the test method Immersion of the device to be tested in water, with the device connected to a gas source throughout the test; collection of the gas leaking from th

36、e device in a graduated cylinder initially full of water. Other test methods are permitted, provided that it can be shown that these give results as accurate as those available from the method given in this clause. 8.2 Test apparatus (see the figure) 8.2.1 Water-bath, having suitable dimensions for

37、complete immersion of the device to be tested. 8.2.2 Gas supply, allowing pressurization of the device throughout the test. 8.2.3 Graduated cylinder, initially full of water, mounted above the device to be tested. The size and scale graduations of the graduated cylinder shall be such that the volume

38、 can be read to an accuracy of0,5cm 3 . 8.2.4 Funnel, allowing the escaping gas to be collected. The funnel shall be suitable to collect all the gas which may escape from the device, but not that which escapes from the connection with the gas supply pipe. 8.3 Procedure 8.3.1 Connect the device to be

39、 tested to the gas supply(8.2.2), all other possible openings being closed so that the leakage rate may be determined. 8.3.2 Immerse the device in the water-bath(8.2.1) to a depth of at least 20cm and supply the device with gas at a pressure equal to the test pressure, as given in clause6, plus the

40、pressure %p due to the immersion depth. 8.3.3 Wait 10min to allow the trapped air adhering to the outside surfaces of the device to escape, then place the graduated cylinder (8.2.3) and the funnel(8.2.4) in position and maintain the device under pressure for 1h. 8.3.4 At the end of the test, raise o

41、r lower the graduated cylinder so as to equalize the levels of the water in the tube and in the bath; measure the volume of collected gas by reading the graduation on the tube. 8.3.5 Correct the measured volume, as specified in clauses 4 and5, to take into account the gas and the standard temperatur
