IEC 60974-8: 2009 (BS EN 60974-8: 2009) Arc welding equipment. Part 8: Gas consoles for welding and plasma cutting systems

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The text of the International Standard IEC 60974-8:2009 was approved by CENELEC as a European Standard without any modification. 22 p. This part of IEC 60974 specifies safety and performance requirements for gas consoles intended to be used with combustible gases or oxygen. These gas consoles are designed to supply gases for use in arc welding, plasma cutting, gouging and allied processes in nonexplosive atmospheres.
The gas console can be external or internal to the power source enclosure. In the latter case, this standard also applies to the power source.
