Abbreviate With an O2 Acetylene Torch
An O2 acetylene torch is a torch used to chop several thicknesses of metal. The torch course consists of a torch purpose, hoses, an O2 vehicle and an acetylene vehicle. The O2 and acetylene flow ended their respective hoses and happy in the torch head, where they combine to create a bare decalescent, narrow flame. The grand concentration of heat at the torch intellect melts the metal in a express narrow swath and it then flows absent of the abbreviate.
Instructions
1. Fix the hoses outside straight and chargeless them of kinks. Fast all regulator valves on the tanks and quick the torch valves. Everyone regulator valve is located on top of the regulator. The regulator is screwed into the container and has two gauges on it -- one for cistern energy and one for hose impulse. The torch valves are located on the leading cutting torch.
2. You do not want acetylene in the oxygen hose or vice versa. Close both valves at the torch once purged.5. Tighten with an adjustable wrench.
3. Open the main shutoff valves on the tanks slowly -- acetylene first and oxygen second. They are located directly on top of each tank. Open both regulator valves until you reach the manufacturer's recommended pressure for your torch. Once again, open the acetylene valve first and the oxygen one second.
4. Purge each of the hoses at the torch by opening one valve at a time. Attach Everyone hose to its respective cistern. Screw the juvenile hose to the O2 vat and tighten with an adjustable wrench. Screw the red hose to the acetylene tank and tighten with an adjustable wrench. Attach the hoses to the cutting torch (green to the oxygen connection and red to the acetylene connection).
Open the acetylene valve on the torch one-eighth to one-quarter turn. Light the torch with a torch striker. Open the acetylene valve farther until there is no more smoke. Open the oxygen valve on the torch until the inner cone is well defined and the flame is blue.
6. Place the torch at a 20-degree angle to the material you are cutting. It should almost touch the material.
7. Squeeze the trigger on the torch to begin cutting. Slowly move the torch along the path you want to cut. When you see sparks shooting out the bottom of the material, it means you have successfully cut through it.
8. Shut down the torch when finished. Turn off the oxygen valve on the torch; then turn off the acetylene valve. Close both of the tank valves. Open the valves at the torch once more to bleed the lines and then close them. Open the regulator valves until the handles turn freely.
