LESSON
Parts and Functions of Cutting Equipment
Introduction: Preparation of materials prior to welding is just one task to perform in the shop. The appropriate cutting equipment must be installed and properly used in order to meet the cutting requirement. Oxy-acetylene cutting torch is the same as oxy-Fuel cutting torch. The assembly of torch may vary in sizes for different types of works. These are small torches for jewelry works. Large torches for heavy plate and special torches for heating, brazing and soldering. Some use fuel-air mixture. These are no industrial standards for tip size, tip threads or seats. Each style size, and type of torch can be used only with tips made by the same manufacturer to fit-in the specific tank.
Oxy- Acetylene Cutting Equipment
A typical oxy-acetylene cutting and welding outfit requires compressed oxygen and acetylene gases that are stored in the separate cylinders. Oxygen gas is placed in the tall tank and the acetylene gas is stored in the small tank.
PARTS OF A BASIC OXY-ACETYLENE OUTFIT:
1. Oxygen cylinder – A Tall 2. Acetylene Cylinder – A tank cylinder where oxygen tank of lesser height where gas is stored. acetylene gas is stored.
3. Regulator (Oxygen) – A 4. Regulator (acetylene) – a device to
device to regulate the flow of regulate the flow of acetylene. It has oxygen. an arrow pointing towards the directions of the torch body. .
5. Oxygen Hose (Green)- A type of 6. Acetylene Hose (Red)- A type of
hose wherein oxygen gas flows towards hose wherein acetylene gas flows the direction of the torch body. towards the direction of the torch body.
7. Safety Chain – A metal chain wrapped around the body of the cylinders and tied securely to the metal frame stand. All the regulators do the same type job. They all work following the same principle whether they are of low or high pressure; single or multiple stages; cylinder, manifold, line, type, with the gas they regulate. The regulators which reduce high pressure to low working pressure must be held constant over a range of flow rates and volumes.
1. Working Pressure Gauge- It measures gas pressure that flows or released
from the torch body to the nozzle or tip.
2. Cylinder Pressure Gauge - It is a registered gas pressure found in the cylinder.
3. Safety Release Valve -It is made of a small ball held tightly against a seat by a spring. 4. Gauge- It measures the amount of pressure or force of the gas that flows or is released from the cylinder.
5. Regulator- They hold the force on both sides of a diaphragm in balance.
