What pressure settings should I have on my guages for the acetelyne and oxygen when using a cutting torch
I use no higher than 5 on mine, just what I read in the manual and by looking at the charts. The 15 is not a working pressure as stickweld says.(quoted from post at 23:22:47 08/14/12) What pressure settings should I have on my guages for the acetelyne and oxygen when using a cutting torch
Stick,(quoted from post at 18:38:44 08/15/12) Wive's tale? There is a porous material inside an acetylene cylinder that is then filled with acetone. The acetone absorbs the acetylene gas so it is stable above 15 PSI. When filling an acetylene cylinder the amount of acetone is measured and then the appropriate weight of acetylene is added. The fill pressure is 50 PSI and it still takes a long time to fill. The maximum size of pipe for filling is 1/2" and it's double extra heavy pipe. When filling the cylinder is cooled with water. Why do think acetylene cylinders are so heavy? Have you ever noticed a black type liquid when using a rosebud? It's from withdrawing acetylene too fast and is the acetone. I toured a cylinder fill plant.
