These graphic symbols communicate

8、the required message independent of any language, thus minimizing difficulties that could arise when equipment is used by operators speaking different languages. There are three major factors contributing to the need for graphic symbols: 1) large numbers of functionally illiterate people in the labo

9、r force; 2) large numbers of non-English speaking U.S. residents; and 3) the diversity of the global marketplace. In an effort to communicate with as many people as possible, graphic symbols have been developed. This publication standardizes those graphic symbols used on arc welding and cutting equi

10、pment, explains their direct meaning, and shows their proper use. The work to develop graphic symbols that provide a clear and practical means of communicating to operators of arc welding and cutting equipment the function and use of equipment controls unique to the arc welding and cutting industry

11、has been in progress for a number of decades. In 1957, the International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee 44 (Welding) (ISO/TC 44) began work on the rating of manual arc welding equipment. This led to the publication of ISO Recommendation R700. In 1976, Subcommittee SC 4 (Arc Wel

12、ding Equipment) of ISO/TC 44 proposed a revision of ISO R700 that incorporated graphic symbols for the identification of equipment control functions and description of welding processes. In 1977, the NEMA Arc Welding Apparatus Graphic Symbols Committee, consisting of representatives of arc welding e

13、quipment manufacturers, was formed to review the ISO symbols. In 1982, the first edition of NEMA Standards Publication EW 4 was published. In its preparation, the Committee also gave consideration to the work of other organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), th

14、e American Welding Society (AWS), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), as well as the symbols being used by U.S. and European welding and cutting equipment manufacturers. Many of the symbols were adopted directly from the work of these organ

15、izations, and credit was given to them in EW 4. As a result, the Committee proposed additional symbols for the identification and use of equipment controls that were captured in the first edition of NEMA EW 4. The first edition contained 92 of the most commonly used symbols for welding and cutting p

16、roducts. In 1984, Technical Committee ISO/TC 145 published ISO 7000 incorporating the graphic symbols from R700 and a 1979 amendment that provided symbols for all kinds of equipment. In 1989, ISO 7000 was revised and published. In 1988, NEMA EW 4 was rescinded. In 1994, a new version of EW 4 was pub

17、lished. As in the past, this edition gave a great deal of consideration to the work of other organizations, both national and international. Where symbols were used directly from another source, credit was given to that document. This edition added information on how to combine graphic symbols as we

18、ll as additional and more current examples EW 4-2009 4 2009, NEMA of their use. This edition contained 185 symbols to accommodate more complex products and processes. Noting advancements in technology and equipment, changes in the global marketplace, and greater need for harmonization with internati

19、onally used graphic symbols, a revision to EW 4 began in 2004 leading to the publication of this document. This 2009 edition of EW 4 has three main enhancements. First, it adds symbols from Annex L of IEC 60974-1. Secondly, this revision uses an international style acceptable to NEMA drafting princi

20、ples that harmonize with ISO/IEC documentation methods. Thirdly, where multiple symbols for the same control, function, or item exist, they are added and shown together to aid ease of use and clarity. As a result, this edition contains 217 symbols to address the expanded needs of users. This publica

21、tion will be reviewed periodically by the NEMA Arc Welding Section for the purpose of updating graphic symbols to reflect advancing technology or the latest graphic symbol applications.

23、cation, and led to a number of changes from the previous edition. When major changes to this publication are proposed, these parties will again have the opportunity to participate in NEMA committee proceedings in order to review and comment on the revision.
