    1. The document introduces the international standard DIN EN ISO 14175 for classifying process gases used in welding and allied processes. 2. It provides a comparison table that shows how gases from Messer's product range correspond to designations under the old DIN EN 439 standard and the new DIN EN ISO 14175 standard. 3. The main changes between the old and new standards include renamed main groups for forming gases and special gases, added oxygen as a main group, and changes to maximum permitted humidity and purity levels for some gas groups.

    Gases for Welding & Cutting

    Introduction of the international standard

    Classification of process gases


    The standardisation of gases for fusion welding and allied processes is uniform throughout the world under the International DIN EN ISO 14175. Until now these gases have been standardised under DIN EN 439. The following comparison table shows at a glance the allocation of products from the Messer range of gases and informs you of the corresponding designation.

    1) If components not included in the table are added, the mixed gas is designated as special gas with the letter S. Section 4 DIN EN 439 gives details. 2) Argon can be replaced by helium by up to 95%. The helium part is shown by an additional reference number in acc. with Table 3, see Section 4 DIN EN 439.

    a) For this classification, argon may be replaced in whole or in part by helium. b) Two mixed gases with the same Z classification may not replace each other. Alumix is marketed in Germany without nitrogen additive.

    Changes have been made to the group classifications, the mix accuracy, the permissible humidity and the names of the main groups.
    Main groups In the main groups the changes only affect the forming gases and special gases. The groups have been renamed N and Z. The group Oxygen O has been added.

    as DIN EN 439
    inert gases and inert mixed gases oxidising, argon-based mixed gases containing oxygen and/or carbon dioxide stronger oxidising gases and mixed gases reducing mixed gases low reactive gas or reducing mixed gases Gases, which in terms of their composition are not listed in Table 2, are designated as special gases and are denoted by the letter S I M1, M2, M3 C R F I M1, M2, M3 C R N O

    as DIN EN ISO 14175


    inert gases and inert mixed gases oxidising mixed gases with oxygen and/or carbon dioxide stronger oxidising gases and mixed gases reducing mixed gases low reactive gas or reducing mixed gas with nitrogen Oxygen Mixed gases with components not included in Table 2 or mixed gases, whose composition lies outside of the area of Table 2.

    Note: oxygen and special gases are not included as main groups in EN 439.

    Humidity and Purity The maximum permitted humidity of the gas groups O and C has changed. Already for many years

    the purities used in practice have exceeded the standard by a long way.

    as DIN EN 439
    Humidity (ppm) Dew point (C) max. at 0,101 Mpa 40 -50 40 -50 80 -44 120 -40 200 -35 40 -50 40 -50 200 -35 40 -50 Purity (%) min. 99,99 99,7 99,7 99,7 99,7 99,95 99,5 99,5 99,5 Main group EN 439 I M1 M2 M3 C R F Oxygen Hydrogen Main group ISO 14175 I M1 M2 M3 Ca R N O

    Note: for certain applications a greater purity and / or a lower dew point could be recommendable in order to avoid possible oxidation and contamination.

    Tolerances of mixtures In regard to accuracy of mix no definition is made for additions < 1 %.

    For additions over 1% nothing has changed.
