Oxyacetylene
- It refers to a mixture ofoxygenandacetylenegas. When
combined, this mixture produces avery hot flame. In
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning),
oxyacetylene torches are commonly used for tasks such
asbrazing or soldering alloys together. But it also used
for cutting.
Oxyacetylene basic parts:
1. Regulators- Are set of gauges installed at each service
cylinder for oxygen and acetylene.
2. Oxygen service cylinder- This is a service cylinder where the
oxygen gas is stored this is usually taller and thinner than
the acetylene service cylinder.
3. Acetylene service cylinder- This is a service cylinder a
storage for acetylene gas.
4. Torch- This is a part of oxyacetylene welding assembly that
is used in brazing. It comes in different sizes.
5. Hoses- Are no ordinary rubber tubings where the gases
pass. They have 2 colors Red for acetylene and Green
oxygen. This is not interchangeable, each is threaded
opposite from the other.
6. Acetylene cylinder service valve- This is a part of acetylene
cylinder where to open and close it.
7. Oxygen cylinder service valve- This is a part of oxygen
cylinder where to open or close it.
8. Regulator connector- This is a part of the regulators where
the hoses are coupled.
9. Friction igniter- This is a lightning device used during
starting process of brazing.
10.Multiple wrench- This is a tightening and loosening device
used in the cylinder service valve.
11.Eye protector- A safety device used during brazing to free
the eyes from splinters and heat of torch flame.
12.Tip cleaner- These are special kind of cleaning device to
remove carbon inside the nozzle. Comes in various sizes.
