AS4839-2001GUIDANCE ON MAINTENANCE (Table 1)

This guide outlines the maintenance of welding equipment. Regulators require biannual testing by a qualified person.

- Flashback arrestors and other devices need yearly checks or post-flashback inspections, with a five-year replacement guideline.
- Hose assemblies demand biannual checks for wear and tear, and a five-year replacement schedule.
- Blowpipes, mixers, and attachments should be inspected weekly or before use, with replacements every five years or as recommended.

Equipment Weekly (if in constant use) or before every use (to be per-formed by the operator)As nominated (to be carried out by a technically competent person)Refurbishment or replacement intervals (equipment condition determines whether refurbishment) 1. Regulators (including their integral protective devices) According to the manufacturers instructions including — visual examination to determine suitability for service (e.g. gas, pressure rating, damage); condition of threads and sealing surfaces; and oil or grease contamination. Leak test all joints at working pressure.Six monthly: Functional tests to ensure the correct operation of internal componentsManufacturer or supplier recommendation, but not exceeding five years.* 2. Flashback arrestors and other external devices (including non-return valves) Visual examination to determine suitability for service (e.g. gas, pressure rating, damage); condition of threads and sealing surfaces; and oil or grease contamination.
