    This document discusses oxyacetylene welding. It defines oxyacetylene welding as a gas welding process that produces coalescence using a flame from oxygen and acetylene gases mixed at ignition. It includes a labeled diagram of the oxyacetylene outfit and describes the main parts and their uses, including gas regulators to control gas pressure from the cylinder to the torch, hoses to connect the torch and regulators with color-coded fittings, and flame traps to prevent flashbacks.

    Welding Definition

    DEFINITION OF WELDING “Welding is the process of joining together two pieces of metal so that
    bonding takes place at their original boundary surfaces”. When two parts to be joined are melted
    together, heat or pressure or both is applied and with or without added metal for formation of metallic
    bond.

    Oxyacetylene Welding Definition


    Gas welding process in which coalescence is produced by a flame of oxygen and acetylene gases mixed
    together at the point of ignition.

    Gas regulators

    The primary function of a gas regulator is to control gas pressure from the cylinder to
    the torch. It reduces the high pressure gas from the cylinder to the working pressure of
    the torch, and this will be maintained during welding.

    The regulator has two separate gauges: a high pressure gauge for gas in the cylinder
    and a low pressure gauge for pressure of gas fed to the torch. The amount of gas
    remaining in the cylinder can be judged from the high pressure gauge. The regulator,
    which has a pressure adjusting screw, is used to control gas flow rate to the torch by
    setting the outlet gas pressure. Note Acetylene is supplied in cylinders under a pressure
    of about 15 bar but welding is carried out with torch gas pressures typically up to 2 bar.

    Hoses

    Hoses between the torch and the gas regulators should be colour-coded; in the UK: red
    for acetylene, and blue for oxygen. Fittings on the oxygen hose have right-hand threads;
    while those on the acetylene hose have left-hand threads.

    Flame traps

    Flame traps (also called flashback arresters) must be fitted into both oxygen and
    acetylene gas lines to prevent a flashback flame from reaching the regulators. Non-
    return spring-loaded valves can be fitted in the hoses to detect/stop reverse gas flow.
    Thus, the valves can be used to prevent conditions leading to flashback, but should
    always be used in conjunction with flashback arresters.

    A flashback is where the flame burns in the torch body, accompanied by a whistling
    sound. It will occur when flame speed exceeds gas flow rate and the flame can pass
    back through the mixing chamber into the hoses. Most likely causes are: incorrect gas
    pressures giving too low a gas velocity, hose leaks, loose connections, or welder
    techniques which disturb gas flow.
