24
What is the suggested amount of turns to open an acetylene valve
1-1/2--2 turns
25
How many turns should you open an oxygen cylinder valve and why
All of the way because it has a double seated valve
26
What should you do when mounting and oxygen and acetylene cylinder so they don't get banged into or knocked over
Secure them with chain and position them so this doesn't happen
27
What are three characteristics of an argon gas
Colorless odorless and tasteless
28
What is argon used for in industry
Purging purposes
29
What kind of metals are used when using argon and carbon dioxide as a shielding gas
Mild steel low alloy steel and sometimes stainless steel
30
What kind of metals can be welded with argon and helium being the shielding gas
Non-ferrous metals
31
What is the purpose of the regulator for an oxygen and acetylene cylinder
To reduce the cylinder pressure to a usable working pressure
32
What color are oxygen regulators
Green
33
What color are acetylene regulators
Red
34
What is the difference between a single stage and a two stage regulator
Single stage only shows the operating pressure | two stage shows cylinder pressure and operating pressure
35
What is the minimum bursting pressure of oxyacetylene hoses
400psi
36
What do flashback arrestors do
Prevent flames from traveling in gases back from the torch to the regulator
37
Define a welding torch
A device that mixes oxygen and acetylene in the correct portions for oxyacetylene welding and cutting
38
What kind of material are oxyacetylene welding tips made out of
Copper
39
What are heating tips used for
``` Bending straightening preheating shrink Fits bronze welding ```
40
For every Oxyacetylene tip size you should do what to the psi
Add one psi
41
What are the three main types of cutting torches
Combination welding heavy duty hand cutting torch machine torches
42
What is the first procedure to do when setting up oxygen and acetylene cylinders
Lash the cylinders together securely with chain or holding device
43
What is a backfire
The flame backs up into the tip and mixer with a pop or bang
44
What is burnback
A hot tip | faulty mixture and torch body seats
45
What are suitable materials for cutting
Ferrous metals such as steel
46
What are not suitable materials for cutting
``` Nonferrous metals such as Copper brass bronze aluminium ```
47
What kind of flame should you have when checking preheat flames and cutting jetstream
Neutral
48
Where should you start a cut when using a torch
sharp edge on a projection or at a whole where preheating will be easiest and fastest
49
Should your torch inclination be more or less when cutting into a thicker material
Less
50
What are drag or lag lines
Lines that are caused by the jetstream while cutting of the workpiece takes place
51
Describe a neutral flame
A point where the feather just disappears but no more
52
Uses for a neutral flame
``` Fusion welding aluminum low-carbon steels cast iron Brazing ```
53
What is an oxidizing flame
Any flame Richer in oxygen than neutral flame
54
What is Capillary action or attraction
And liquid is drawn and spread through a very small space between two surfaces
55
What are two metals for EasyFlo brazing
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals
56
Flux is used for what
Brazing
57
How should you braze a pipe joint
Preheat the pipe then heat the joint while applying alloy to the corner of joint and pipe
58
Why should you remove all traces of flux after silver brazing
Because it has a residue which is chemically corrosive
59
What should the minimum included angle be in a joint design
90°
60
What is a possible tensile strength when breeze welding
