Abstract

Describes a system of classification of shielding gases for welding.

Scope

This Standard specifies the requirements for shielding gases and the tolerances on the nominal value of constituent gases in mixtures. This Standard applies, but is not limited, to the following processes:

(a) Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).
(b) Gas metal arc welding (GMAW).
(c) Flux cored arc welding (FCAW).
(d) Plasma arc welding (PAW).

NOTES:

1 For further information on shielding gases for GTAW and GMAW refer to Appendix A.

2 For information on safety in the use of shielding gases, see Appendix B.
