The business of The Lincoln Electric Company® is manufacturing and selling high quality welding equipment, consumables, and cutting equipment. Our challenge is to meet the needs of our customers and to exceed their expectations. On occasion, purchasers may ask Lincoln Electric for information or advice about their use of our products. Our employees respond to inquiries to the best of their ability based on information provided to them by the customers and the knowledge they may have concerning the application. Our employees, however, are not in a position to verify the information provided or to evaluate the engineering requirements for the particular weldment. Accordingly, Lincoln Electric does not warrant or guarantee or assume any liability with respect to such information or advice. Moreover, the provision of such information or advice does not create, expand, or alter any warranty on our products. Any express or implied warranty that might arise from the information or advice, including any implied warranty of merchantability or any warranty of fitness for any customers’ particular purpose is specifically disclaimed.

Lincoln Electric is a responsive manufacturer, but the selection and use of specific products sold by Lincoln Electric is solely within the control of, and remains the sole responsibility of the customer. Many variables beyond the control of Lincoln Electric affect the results obtained in applying these types of fabrication methods and service requirements.

The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by various factors including proper use and positioning of the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure level should be checked upon installation and periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.

What is Low Vacuum Extraction?Low vacuum is when high volumes of air are being

extracted. The typical range of CFM in a low vacuum

application is 650-850 CFM. Low Vacuum extraction

is traditionally done 6-12” from the weld source. Low

vacuum extraction is handled by flexible extraction

arms with larger diameter openings.

What is Welding Fume?Welding fumes are comprised of complex metallic

oxides, often along with silicates and fluoride

compounds, forming particles that are typically less

than 5 microns (µm) in diameter.

What is High Vacuum Extraction?High vacuum is high local pressure where low

volumes of air are being extracted. The typical

range of CFM in a high vacuum application

is 30-180 CFM. High vacuum extraction is

traditionally done 2-4” from the fume source and

is typically handled by small, compact systems

that utilize fume extraction guns and extraction

nozzles with small openings.

OSHA RequirementsThe Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) is the primary US agency regulating air

quality. OSHA sets PELs (Permissible Exposure Limits)

for compounds, some of which may be found in

welding fume.
