OXYFUEL WELDING

INTRODUCTION Oxyfuel welding is a welding process where the heat for fusion is supplied by a torch using oxygen and a fuel gas. Several different fuel gasses can be used:

FUEL GASSES  Propane (LPG)  Natural Gas  Acetylene  MAPP  Hydrogen

USES  Traditionally oxyfuel equipment was used for:  Brazing  Fusion welding  Flame hardening  Metalizing  Soldering  Stress relieving  Cutting  Bending  New technologies in the GMAW process has almost eliminated the need for oxyfuel welding.  Primary uses today are heating, brazing and cutting.

OXYFUEL SAFETY  The hazards of oxyfuel welding are primarily compressed gas cylinders, flammable gases and open flame.  Common concerns are :  PPE (shade 4 face shield/goggles, gloves).  Store and handle cylinders correctly.  Keep caps on cylinders whenever regulators are not attached.  Never use oil, grease, or any hydrocarbons on fittings.  Store cylinders in a locked enclosure.  Check system for leaks  Follow correct procedures for turning on and off.  Remove combustible materials from area.  Cutting slag can travel 35 feet on concrete  Insure adequate ventilation

OXYFUEL SYSTEM  Before discussing how the system works, it is important to know the name of the parts. A.Oxygen safety disc B.Oxygen cylinder valve C.Oxygen cylinder pressure gauge D.Oxygen working pressure gauge E.Oxygen regulator F.Oxygen regulator adjusting screw G. Acetylene cylinder safety disc H. Acetylene cylinder valve I. Acetylene cylinder pressure gauge

OXYFUEL SYSTEM--CONT. J. Acetylene working pressure gauge K. Acetylene regulator L. Acetylene regulator adjusting screw M. Acetylene hose N. Oxygen hose O. Oxygen torch valve P. Acetylene torch valve Q. Torch R. Welding tip S. Acetylene cylinder T. Oxygen cylinder

OXYGEN CYLINDER One piece, seamless construction. Each cylinder has unique serial number and number is recorded in national registry. Scheduled inspection required. Must not be dropped. Should not be used as a roller. Never use any lubricates on threads or any part of the cylinder. Three common sizes are 244, 150 & 80 cubic feet. The valve should never be left exposed. It must always have the regulator attached or the cap on.

ACETYLENE CYLINDER 9 Acetylene cylinders are filled entirely with a porous materials which must be able to stop the propagation of an acetylene decomposition within the cylinder initiated by a backfire or an external heating of the acetylene cylinder. 250 psi when filled. Protected by fuse plugs that melt at 212 o F. The cylinder should be opened only 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn when in use. The withdrawal rate in cubic feet per hour should never exceed 1/7 times the cylinder capacity. Common sizes are 300, 120 and 75 cubic feet. The cylinders must always be used, transported and stored upright. Special cylinder because acetylene is unstable above 15 psi. Acetylene is shock sensitive.

PRESSURE REGULATORS  Gas systems must have a pressure regulator to reduce the pressure from the high pressure in the cylinder down to the working pressure.  Many different designs are used.  They range from simple fixed output, commonly used for gas grills and camping stoves, to double stage regulators used for oxyfuel welding.

WORKING PRESSURE  Oxygen and fuel gas working pressure should be set according to manufactures recommendations for the job being performed.  Potential problems with excessive pressure.  Harsh flame  Damaged equipment  Increased potential of flashback.  Potential problems of insufficient pressure.  Insufficient heat  Unstable flame  Increased plugging of welding or cutting tip.

WELDING TIP SIZE Example welding tip selection and working pressure chart.

OXYFUEL TORCH  The oxyfuel torch is the handle for holding and controlling the system.  It the controls the flow rate of the gasses and delivers them to the welding tip, or cutting attachment.

AIR ACETYLENE TORCH  Burns a mixture of acetylene or MAPP and air.  As fuel gas flows through torch it draws in the correct amount of air.  Lower temperature than oxyacetylene.  Primary use is in soldering and brazing copper piping.

HOSES AND CONNECTIONS  Requires special nonporous hoses.  Hoses are color coded.  Green: oxygen  Red or Black: fuel gas  Connections  Oxygen: right hand  Acetylene: left hand  Hoses should be protected from hot metal and physical damage.

PPE Use protection for: Eyes Body Eyes Correctly shaded lens--not sun glasses. Shade 4 or 5 Body Fire resistant gloves Long sleeves Button shirt

SETTING UP OXYFUEL SYSTEM  Extinguish all open flames and stop processes that produce sparks.  Steps (assuming new system) 1.Secure cylinders 2.Remove caps 3.Crack cylinder valves 4.Connect regulators 5.Open cylinder valves 6.Connect hoses to cylinders 7.Connect hoses to torch body 8.Connect welding tip to torch body 9.Set working pressures 10.Check system for leaks.

SHUTTING DOWN SYSTEM  Close cylinder valves  Open torch valves  Leave open until regulator gauges read zero.  Some sources recommend doing fuel first and oxygen last.  Close torch valves  Release tension on regulator adjusting screw.  Roll up hoses and place torch in a safe position.
