Q/A
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which gas does the work when using an Oxy Acet torch? | Oxygen |
| How much pressure does a new tank of oxygen have? | 2300psi |
| How many turns does it take to open the oxygen properly? | All the way/back seat valve |
| What is the maximum hose pressure for oxygen? | 200psi or according to the regulator hose dial |
| What substance must oxygen never come in contact with? And Why? | Petroleum, reacts/ combusts |
| What is the safety feature found at the top of the oxygen tank? | High Pressure Release Valve |
| How much pressure is in a new tank of Acetylene? | 250psi |
| How many turns to open acetylene tank and why? | 3 half turns, so it can be shut off quickly in case of fire |
| What is the maximum hose pressure of acetylene and why? | 15 psi (above 15 psi the gas becomes unstable) |
| Can the oxy-acetylene tanks be used on their side? | No |
| What liquid is inside the acetylene tank? | Acetone |
| What are the 4 positions of welding? | Flat, Horizontal, Vertical, Overhead |
| Extra Credit Abbreviations: | 1g, 2g, etc 1f, 2f etc |
| What are the 5 basic structural types of joints? | Butt, Edge, Corner, Lapp, Tee |
| What is the ignition temperature/ annealing temperature of steel? | 1500F |
| What is the welding temperature of steel? | 3,000F |
| What is the temperature of the plasma in an arc? | Up to 10,000F |
| What is the temperature of an oxy-acetylene torch? | 5,000-6,000F |
| How do you check the oxy- acetylene setup for leaks? | Shut the tank valve and watch the tank pressure dial on the regulator. If there is no leak the pressure won't change. |
