Overview
SIST EN ISO 17652-3:2003 is a European and international standard specifying a test method for evaluating the influence of shop primers on the maximum cutting speed achievable during thermal cutting processes. This standard is part of the broader ISO 17652 series which addresses shop primers in relation to welding and allied processes, focusing here specifically on thermal cutting. It provides a methodological framework to assess how coatings applied in steel fabrication shops affect thermal cutting efficiency, quality, and safety.
Developed by CEN in collaboration with ISO technical committees on welding, this standard ensures harmonized testing procedures across Europe and beyond, promoting consistent quality assurance for steel structural components with shop primers.
Key Topics
Scope and Purpose
The standard defines procedures to determine how shop primers impact the maximum speed for thermal cutting without compromising cut quality. It targets conventional oxygen-fuel cutting but allows for optional laser and plasma cutting tests.Test Specimen Preparation
Test plates are made from grade S275 hot rolled steel, typically sized 1000mm x 1000mm with 10 mm thickness.- One sample is blasted to SA 2½ cleanliness and left uncoated.
- Other samples are coated with shop primer applied per supplier guidelines, ensuring uniform thickness.
- One sample remains uncoated as a control.
Cutting Process and Parameters
- Mechanized thermal cutting with acetylene or propane fuel gases, optimized gas pressures, and nozzle conditions to minimize tip soiling.
- Cutting speeds are tested across multiple zones at incremental steps around an estimated maximum speed to evaluate quality standards defined by EN ISO 9013.
- Cooling between cuts and nozzle condition monitoring ensure consistency.
Acceptance Criteria
Cut surfaces must meet specified quality levels, generally acceptable in most zones except the highest speed zone, confirming limits on cutting speed.
The reduction factor R is calculated comparing max cutting speeds with and without shop primer, quantifying primer impact.Test Reporting
Test reports document all relevant data including shop primer type, dry film thickness, cutting equipment details, cutting speeds, reduction factor, and acceptance criteria applied.
Applications
SIST EN ISO 17652-3:2003 is vital for industries and professionals involved in:
Steel Fabrication and Structural Engineering
Ensuring that surface treatments applied before welding or cutting do not impair quality or productivity of thermal cutting operations.Quality Control in Manufacturing
Assessing and certifying shop primers to guarantee they meet performance requirements related to cutting speed and cut surface quality.Welding and Allied Processes Optimization
Selecting suitable primers to balance corrosion protection and fabrication efficiency, especially in automated or mechanized cutting environments.Safety and Environmental Compliance
Supporting proper procedures that respect health, safety, and environmental regulations during thermal cutting with coated steels.
By applying the standard, manufacturers can reliably predict and control production parameters, reduce downtime, prevent cutting nozzle damage, and optimize cutting speeds-all critical for cost-effective and high-quality steel processing.
Related Standards
SIST EN ISO 17652-3:2003 is part of the ISO 17652 series, closely linked with:
- EN ISO 17652-1:2003: General requirements for testing shop primers related to welding and allied processes.
- EN ISO 17652-2:2003: Specific tests concerning welding properties of shop primers.
- EN ISO 17652-4:2003: Assessment of fumes and gases emission during welding with shop primers.
Additionally, it references key standards for substrate preparation, technical delivery conditions, and cutting quality like:
- EN 10025 (Hot rolled products of structural steel)
- EN ISO 2808 (Paints and varnishes – Film thickness determination)
- EN ISO 8501-1 (Surface cleanliness before painting)
- EN ISO 9013 (Classification and quality tolerances for thermal cuts)
Together, these standards ensure comprehensive quality management across surface treatment, thermal cutting, and welding processes in steel fabrication.
By adhering to SIST EN ISO 17652-3:2003, industries enhance precision and efficiency in thermal cutting operations involving shop primers-key to maintaining structural integrity, reducing fabrication costs, and ensuring compliance with international welding and fabrication standards.
