Oxygen Cylinders
Oxygen is very pure - 99% Pressure is about 2200 psi at 700 F Hydrostatic tested to 3300 psi Forged from a single piece of steel no welding Minimum of 1/4 thickness Annealed periodically Stored away from combustibles

Acetylene Cylinders
Acetone - absorbs acetylene under pressure Consumption rate = 1/7 content per hour Fusible plug - 2120 F Temperature has an extreme affect on pressure Let stand upright at least 20 minutes before using Protected valve or cylinder cap Stored away from oxygen and combustibles

Acetylene Cylinders
C2H2 - Made from calcium carbide and water Welded construction Monolithic filler - Asbestos fibers, balsawood (85% porus) Acetone - absorbs acetylene under pressure Fusible plug - 2120 F Consumption rate = 1/7 content per hour Temperature has an extreme affect on pressure Let stand 20 minutes before using Protected valve or cylinder cap Sold by cubic feet - determined by weight of the cylinders
Manifold Systems
Increased Efficiency more stations no downtime
Parts:
Cylinders Hoses - Brass or braided Check valves or hand valves Flashback Arrestors - OSHA Regulators Main valves
Regulators
Gauges - High and Low pressure Bonnet - weakest point Adjusting screw - Clockwise = On
Regulators
Single
stage - less expensive Dual stage - more accurate - lump on back - 200 psi Nozzle Type - low volume Stem type - High Volume Gauges - High and Low pressure - bourbon tube Bonnet - weakest point Adjusting screw - Clockwise = On
Protector Cap
Protects valve from being knocked off Must be in place when Regulators are off
Backflash Arrestor
Torch / Manifold Regulator / torch
Hoses
Acetylene = Red
Oxygen = Green
RH Thread
New Hoses have talc inside - Blow out before connecting to torch
Needle valves
What each does Preheat / Cutting hole pressures Tightening
Torch Body
Cutting Head
Preheat oxygen needle valve Seat type / Graphite type - tightening Body to head connection - tightening Oxygen lever - regulator setting, #1 needle valve setting
Cutting Tips
1 or 2 piece sizes relate to # Drill Sizes Hand / Wrench tight
Rosebud
Tip Cleaners
Do not move cylinders without valve protection Secure cylinders Inspect threads Crack Oxygen Valve Attach regulators and tighten Blow talc from new hoses Attach Flashback arrestors, check valves, hoses, check valves, torch body, torch head, and tip Properly pressurize torch and check for leaks
SCREW ADJUSTING SCREW OUT Stand to the side of the adjusting screw Open tanks one at a time (Oxygen wide, Acetylene 1/2 turn) Adjust regulators Bleed lines one at a time Fine adjustments made while bleeding the hoses Open the acetylene needle valve and light torch Open high pressure oxygen needle valve wide Adjust to a neutral flame
Flame types
Carborizing
Neutral
Oxidizing
Pre-load your wrist and forearm Roll, dont slide for a smoother cut Apply pressure to torch tubes with thumb and index finger Keep other three fingers in fist Dont move the torch body hand during stops and starts.
Beveling Angles
Slide the torch through your fingers toward you. Only move the hand nearest the flame when continuing the cut. Keep your other three fingers in your fist. This will keep your hands cooler and allow you to make a better cut.
Safety
Backflash
Dont blow molten metal toward another person Dont melt the hoses Dont drop metal on hoses Dont let hoses lay on hot metal
