Q

What and where is the rupture disc on the oxygen cylinder?

A

Disc mounted on the rear of the cylinder valve and is a safety to blow off at 3200 psi. This will slowly release oxygen instead of exploding.

Q

What is the critical point of acetylene at 70 F/21C

A

28 psi

18
Q

What is max safe working pressure for acetylene?

A

15psi

19
Q

What is in acetylene bottles to absorb acetylene ?

A

40 percent acetone

20
Q

What is draw limit of an acetylene bottle?

A

The maximum amount of acetylene that can be drawn before acetone is drawn out.

21
Q

What is a fusible plug?

A

Safety valve when dangerous temperatures are present. The melting temp is 212f/100C

22
Q

Where are the fusible plug located?

A

Bottom of cylinder, collar or neck ring and shoulder of the cylinder

23
Q

What hand thread are the acetylene opponents?

A

Left hand

24
Q

What are the hose colours?

A

Acetylene is red

Oxygen is green

25
Q

How much do you open acetylene bottle?

A

1 1/2 to 2 turns for knob

1 - 1 1/2 for key type

26
Q

What are regulators for?

A

Reduce cylinder pressure to a usable working pressure.

27
Q

What do flash back arrestors do?

A

Prevent flames from travelling back to the bottle

28
Q

What are the uses of a rosebud?

A

Bending, straightening, preheating, shrink fitting, hardsurfacing large areas.

29
Q

What oxygen pressure and acetylene pressure for rosebud?

A

Equal pressure. Number of holes in tip = PSI

30
Q

What is a backfire? What is the cause?

A

The flame backs up into the tip.

Often caused by unequal pressure and to little gas flow.

31
Q

What is a flash back? What causes it?

A

One of the gases backs up into the other line forming an explosive mixture.

The cause is grossly unequal pressure, faulty seats, or faulty manipulation of valves.

32
Q

What is burn back? What causes it?

A

Combustion takes place in the tip and mixer. Black smoke, red sparks and screeching sound emit from the tip.

Hot tip
Tip orifices enlarged
Faulty mixer or torch body seats

33
Q

What metals are suitable for torch cutting?

A

Typically ferrous metals, with exceptions

34
Q

What materials are not suitable for cutting?

A

Non ferrous metals such as copper, brass, bronze, aluminum and their alloys.

35
Q

When cutting a beveled edge where do you line up you preheat holes?

A

Equally divided on either side of the cut line.

36
Q

When cutting a straight line where do the pre heat holes line up?

A

The lead hole is inline with the cut line.

37
Q

What are the two different hole cutting methods?

A

Travelling torch method - quicker method

Still torch method - best for small diameter holes.

38
Q

What are the 3 types of flame?

A

Carbonizing - adds carbon to weld
Neutral - adds nothing to weld deposit
Oxidizing - attacks the carbon

39
Q

What is brazing suitable for?

A

Joining smaller assemblies and complex shapes, where different kinds of metals need to be joined.

40
Q

What are typical filler rods made of?

A

Alloys

41
Q

How can you tell when brazing temperature is reached?

A

Flux is clear, active and looks watery and the metal surface is visible underneath.

42
Q

Liquid propane expands to what?

A

270 times the volume.
