This standard describes the equipment, procedures and safepractices for the oxyfuel cutting of steel. It is for the operatorsof both hand and machine torches and is recommended for managementpersonnel associated with the oxyfuel cutting process.
Oxyfuel gas cutting is a process whereby a metal (usually aniron base alloy) is heated to its kindling temperature (well belowthe melting point) by an oxyfuel gas flame and then burned rapidlyby a regulated jet of oxygen. A cutting torch is used for thisoperation.
This standard makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and theInternational System of Units (SI). The latter are shown withinbrackets ([ ]) or in appropriate columns in tables and figures.Themeasurements may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each systemmust be used independently.
Although many references are made to safe practices throughoutthis standard, it is strongly recommended that operators becomethoroughly familiar with all aspects of safe operation. Safety andhealth information is available from various sources, including,but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, andAllied Processes, and applicable federal, state, and localregulations.
