It joins metal by melting them together by the heat of a torch
Oxy-acetylene welding
It is useful when it is necessary for the equipment to be portable when welding relatively thin materials or when amount of heat applied must be varied and controlled
Oxy-acetylene welding
Oxy-acetylene also known as
Gas
It is the most common form of welding
Oxy-acetylene welding
The process of joining two pieces by partially melting their surfaces and allowing them to flow together is called
Fusion
The other 2 fusion processes are
Electric arc welding
Thermit welding
In the oxy-acetylene process, the metal is heated by the _______

____ and ____ should not be done near flammable materials such as wood, oil waste or cleaning rags
Welding
Cutting
These supplied from cylinders to provide the flame
Oxygen and acetylene gas
These control the flow of the gases
Regulators and valves
It measures the pressure of the gas
Gage
It carry the gases to the torch
Hoses
It mix the gases and provide a handle for directing the flame
Torch
It control the flame
Tip

_______connections have right hand
threads
Fuel gas
it control the flow of gas and delivery pressure to the hose and torch
Pressure adjusting screw
