Demonstration of Air Contaminant Control Methods for Torch Cutting and Air Carbon-Arc Gouging.

PB83238576

Publication Date	1983
Personal Author	Scholz, R. C.; Dupuis, T. V.
Page Count	96
Abstract	This study was undertaken to develop ventilation guidelines for air carbon-arc gouging and torch cutting, processes which produce some of the highest exposures to metal particulate in industry. This study was directed toward finding solutions for processing of large workpieces. It was undertaken by constructing prototype test booths within a foundry cleaning and finishing area and conducting tests on actual production activities within the booths. Besides the processes evaluated, these methods should also find application during welding and chipping and grinding with portable tools.
