Arc Welding Equipment Part 7: Torches (Adoption with Modifications and Revision)
This NEMA aligned standard establishes the safety and construction requirements for torches used in arc welding and related processes. It covers a full range of torch types, including manual, mechanically guided, air cooled, liquid cooled, motorized, spool on, and fume extraction models. Under this standard, a torch is defined as the complete assembly—torch body, cable hose assembly, and all associated components. The requirements also extend to cable hose assemblies used between a power source and auxiliary equipment. This standard does not apply to electrode holders used for manual metal arc welding or to equipment for air arc cutting or gouging.
