Can you use an acetylene tip with propane?
Gas Welding Equipment Here’s the rub, you CANNOT use Acetylene Equipment for Propane or Propylene! Sorry about that, but the internal materials are different and Propane will corrode the internal materials that Acetylene equipment is made of (Propylene is around 50% Propane).
What is the oxygen pressure set at when using a Rosebud?
First, Kevin says, check the book that came with the torches for the settings for the #8 rosebud. The setting should be 20 – 30 PSI (pounds per square inch) for oxygen. Make sure you read the correct dial, as there are two scales on the dial.
How hot does a rosebud torch get?
6,000°F
The acetylene (8,000 BTU) tip has 4 orifices and can use temperatures up to 6,000°F (3,300°C).
Can an oxy acetylene torch be used with propane?
Oxy Propane/Propylene Torch Whilst a standard Oxy Acetylene Torch can be used for Oxy Propane/Propylene, it’s far from ideal. Propane & Propylene are slower burning gases. Propane & Propylene also travel through the system as a vapour, not a gas, not actually turning into a gas until they meet air.
What pressure should oxygen and propane be set at for cutting?
Turn on the propane tank and oxygen tank. Adjust the psi on the oxygen regulator to around 40 psi. Adjust the psi on the propane tank regulator between 5 and 10 psi.
Can you weld Aluminium with oxy propane?
Welding aluminum with oxy-propane is not a big deal. You need a fuel reg to fit the propane can and some “T” grade hoses that do not deteriorate when exposed to propane, natgas, chemtane, chemolene, propylene etc. “alt fuel” gases.
What pressure should a rosebud torch be?
That depends, what size rosebud are you using? The general answer is 10 psi oxy 15 psi acetylene, for most tips, some larger tips will require up to 15 psi oxy.
What should my cutting torch be set at?
Recommended oxy/acetylene cutting tip pressures vary with size. If you have no manufacturer setting- information, and are cutting less than 1 ½” thick steel, set the acetylene regulator for 10 psig, and the oxygen regulator for 40 psig.
Can you weld steel with oxy propane?
Firstly: Propane cannot be used for Gas Welding. When acetylene burns in oxygen, it creates a reducing zone that cleans the steel surface. Propane do not have a reducing zone like acetylene and can hence not be used for Gas Welding.
What temperature do you preheat aluminum for welding?
200 degrees F maximum
In general, preheat is never required to weld aluminum alloys. If you want to preheat, the temperature should be limited to 200 degrees F maximum. This sort of preheat often is useful to drive off condensation and moisture.
