ISO 17658:2002 PDF

Scope: This international Standard defines terms of the pos-sible imperfections in oxyfuel gas, laser beam and plasma cuts in metallic materials which are collected and grouped. Imperfections are irregularities or devia-tions from the specified shape and location of cut. This international Standard only includes imperfec-tions originating directly from oxyfuel gas, laser beam and plasma arc cutting; any adverse effects resulting from additional external stresses or strains are not considered. The type, shape and location of these im-perfections are grouped together but conditions and causes of origin are not given. Information concerning the evaluation and conse-quences of the above mentioned imperfections is not given because this depends on the specific job re-quirements. The terms have been selected to charac-terize the principal imperfections mentioned, however, two or more may be found simultaneously. The group-ing system used is not an evaluation of quality.
