This standard provides nomenclature pertaining to the design, construction, and programming of resistance welding controls. Standard calibration and performance parameters as well as labeling and documentation requirements are also outlined. The purpose is to promote standardization, safety, and proper application of resistance welding controls
Scope : 1.1 Scope. This standard provides nomenclature pertaining to the design, construction, and programming of resistance welding controls. Standard calibration and performance parameters as well as labeling and documentation requirements are also outlined. As there are many available resistance welding control types, configurations, sizes and models, not every part of this standard may apply in every case. This document does not supersede regulations, codes and standards relating to electrical and electronic circuit design or implementation. The purpose is to promote standardization, safety, and proper application of resistance welding controls. 1.2 Units of Measure. This standard makes use of both the International System of Units (SI) and U.S. Customary units. The latter are shown within brackets [ ] or in appropriate columns in tables and figures. The measurements may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently. 1.3 Safety. Safety issues and concerns are addressed in this standard, although health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of this standard. Safety and health information is available from the following sources: American Welding Society: (1) ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes (2) AWS Safety and Health Fact Sheets (3) Other safety and health information on the AWS website Material or Equipment Manufacturers: (1) Material Safety Data Sheets supplied by materials manufacturers (2) Operating Manuals supplied by equipment manufacturers Applicable Regulatory Agencies
