Plasma Cutting Torches - Welding and Fabrication

Plasma cutting torches are hand-held or mechanized cutting heads used with plasma power sources to cut carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other conductive metals during shipbuilding, ship repair and marine fabrication. They use a consumable electrode, nozzle and shield or cap.

ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Plasma Cutting Torches for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification	Applicable requirements may include IEC 60974-7 for welding and allied-process torches, IEC 60974-10 for electromagnetic compatibility, and applicable manufacturer and machinery safety requirements. Certification depends on the complete plasma cutting system and installation.
Class Approval	Plasma torches are generally equipment-approved by the manufacturer rather than individually class-approved. Where required for shipyard or onboard use, acceptance may involve DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV or ClassNK in accordance with the vessel's approved procedures.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	Use only with the specified plasma power source, torch lead, gases and consumables. Connect gas, electrical and cooling services according to the manufacturer manual. Verify correct electrode, nozzle, shield and standoff settings before cutting.
Maintenance Tips	Inspect and replace worn electrodes, nozzles, swirl rings, shields and O-rings. Keep torch threads and mating surfaces clean, check lead insulation and gas hoses for damage, and maintain correct gas pressure, flow and cooling-water quality where applicable.
Safety Notes	Wear a suitable welding helmet, flame-resistant clothing, gloves, hearing protection and safety footwear. Provide ventilation for fumes, remove flammable materials, secure the workpiece, and protect personnel from arc radiation, hot slag, compressed gases and electrical hazards.
