| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| the part of a welding or cutting torch with holes to release fuel for combustion | Tip |
| small, round rod-like devices that remove dirt from the holes in welding and cutting torch tips | Tip cleaner |
| the assembly in an oxyacetylene system that mixes oxygen and acetylene to provide the desired flame | Torch |
| a device that controls the flow of gas in an oxyacetylene system | Valve |
