In the oxyfuel welding and cutting industry, every equipmentmanufacturer has its own system for designating the size of oxyfuelnozzles for cutting, welding, and heating/brazing. These systemsare based on a variety of different nozzle features and in manycases are completely arbitrary. In any case, it is currentlyimpossible to identify a nozzle by model number for a givenmanufacturer and cross reference it to a different manufacturer toobtain like performance and size, i.e., there is no commonalityamong manufacturers to identify like nozzles for performance anduse. The intent of this publication is to provide a system foruniform identification of cutting, welding, and heating/brazingnozzles.
This publication describes in detail the information that theequipment manufacturers should permanently mark on their oxyfuelcutting, welding, and heating/brazing nozzles. This system ofmarking provides a common information base that the operator canrely on to identify nozzle performance from one manufacturer toanother. The overall intent of this system is to provide a commonidentification system that will result in the safe operation ofoxyfuel nozzles, i.e., operators will know they are using thecorrect nozzle for the job being performed.
This standard makes the use of the International System of Units(SI).
Safety and health issues are beyond the scope of this standardand, therefore, are not fully addressed herein. Some safety andhealth information is to be provided with the product as describedin 4.2, 5.2, and 6.2.
Safety and health information is available from other sources,including, but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding,Cutting, and Allied Processes, applicable state and federalregulations or, where required, applicable ISO standards, and localcode requirements.
