removing gas pressure from all lines and equipment, as with oxyacetylene welding systems | Bleeding the lines |
the process of joining metal with a filler rod that melts at a temperature below the metal being joined | Brazing |
a flame with excess acetylene; adjustment is needed to achieve a neutral flame | Carbonizing flame |
a special tip used in cutting metal with gas systems such as oxyacetylene | Cutting tip |
a long, thin metal rod used in welding to add to or fill joins when welding or brazing | Filler rod |
the quality of a substance that is capable of burning | Flammable |
the process of joining by melting, as in fusion welding | Fusion |
a device used to measure certain substances such as pressure in an oxyacetylene welding/cutting system | Gauge |
an oxyacetylene flame with a balance of oxygen and acetylene | Neutral flame |
an oxyacetylene flame with an excess of oxygen; adjustment is needed to achieve a neutral flame | Oxidizing flame |
a device that controls the flow amount of a liquid or gas; with oxyacetylene welding systems, regulators control the flow of oxygen and acetylene | Regulator |
