Term
SLAG
Definition
OXIDIZED ASHES OF STEEL
Term
DRAG LINE
Definition
MARK LEFT ON THE FACE OF A CUT FROM MOVEMENTS
Term
SINGLE STAGE REGULATOR
Definition
DEVICE THAT CHANGES CYLINDER PRESSURE TO WORKING PRESSURE IN ONE STEP
Term
TWO STAGE REGULATOR
Definition
DEVICE THAT CHANGES CYLINDER PRESSURE TO WORKING PRESSURE IN TWO STEPS
Term
HIGH PRESSURE CYLINDER
Definition
CYLINDER MADE FROM ONE PIECE HIGH CARBON STEEL
Term
LOW PRESSURE CYLINDER
Definition
TWO PART CYLINDER NORMALLY USED FOR FUEL GASSES
Term
HIGH PRESSURE CYLINDER VALVE
Definition
MADE OF BRASS, HAS DOUBLE SEATED VALVE SEALS, HAS BURSTING DISC SAFETY DEVICE
Term
FUEL GAS VAVLE
Definition
MADE OF BRASS, HAS O-RING TO SEAL VALVE STEM
Term
HOW IS ACETYLENE STORED IN A CYLINDER?
Definition
DISSOLVED IN ACETONE
Term
WHY ARE FUEL CYLINDERS NEVER LAID ON THEIR SIDES?
Definition
THEY ALL HAVE FLAMMABLE LIQUID IN THEM THAT WILL LEAK
Term
WHAT IS A FUSE PLUG?
Definition
A SAFETY DEVICE THAT HAS A FUSIBLE CENTER THAT MELTS IN HIGH TEMPERATURES TO RELIEVE EXCESS PRESSURE
Term
WHAT IS THE HEAT OF RECOMPRESSION
Definition
WHEN GASSES ARE COMPRESSED THEY HEAT UP. GAS COMING OUT OF A CYLINDER LOSE PRESSURE AND THEN REGAIN IT AS THEY FILL THE INLET TUBE AND REGULATOR. AS THE GAS REGAINS ITS PRESSURE IT HEATS UP
Term
HOW DOES A GAUGE WORK?
Definition
AS PRESSURE ENTERS THE BOURDON TUBE IT TRIES TO STRAIGHTEN, THIS ACTION PULLS ON THE CALIBRATING LINK, WHICH TURNS THE SECTOR GEAR, WHICH TURNS THE PINION GEAR ATTACHED TO THE NEEDDLE ON THE FACE OF THE DIAL
Term
WHAT IS THE MAIN MOVING PART OF A REGULATOR?
Definition
THE DIAPHRAGM
Term
WHAT ARE THE THREE PURPOSES OF OXYGEN WHEN USING OFC?
Definition
1. OXIDIZE THE STEEL 2. GIVE HOTTER PREHEAT FLAMES 3. BLOW OUT THE SLAG
Term
DEFINE OXYFUEL CUTTING
Definition
THE RAPID OXIDATION OF STEEL CAUSED BY APPLYING AN OXYGEN STREAM TO HEATED STEEL
Term
DESCRIBE HOW TO MAKE A CUT START
Definition
HEAT THE STEEL TO AN ORANGE/YELLOW STATE, SLOWLY OPEN THE CUTTING JET, & ADVANCE ACROSS THE PLATE
Term
WHAT IS A NEUTRAL FLAME?
Definition
the flame mmixture of oxygen and fuel are balanced
Term
WHAT IS AN OXYDIZING FLAME?
Definition
A FLAME THAT HAS EXCESS OXYGEN
Term
WHAT IS A CARBONIZING FLAME?
Definition
A FLAME WITH EXCESS FUEL GAS
Term
HOW FAR SHOULD THE CUTTING TIP BE HELD ABOVE THE METAL WITH ALTERNATE FUELS?
Definition
3/4 INCH
Term
WHERE SHOULD A CUT BE RESTARTED WHEN POSSIBLE?
Definition
IN THE WASTE SIDE OF THE CUT
Term
WHERE SHOULD A CUT BE STARTED ON A BOLT HEAD OR RIVET?
Definition
AT THE TOP MIDDLE OF THE BOLD HEAD OR RIVET
Term
A CUT THAT HAS A ROUNDED TOP SHOULDER AND HEAVY SLAG IS CAUSED BY?
Definition
TRAVEL SPEED TOO SLOW
Term
A CUT THAT HAS THE SLAG MELTING BACK TOGETHER IN THE KERF IS CAUSED BY?
Definition
TRAVEL SPEED TOO SLOW OR PREHEAT FLAMES EXCESSIVELY HOT
Term
A CUT FACE THAT HAS PRONOUNCED LAG LINES INDICATES?
Definition
TRAVEL SPEED TOO HIGH
Term
A CUT FACE THAT HAS THE TOP EDGE STRAIGHT AND THE BOTTOM EDGE BELLIED OUT INDICATES?
Definition
EXCESS OXYGEN PRESSURE
Term
TO MAKE A LONG CUT A __________ SHOULD BE USED.
Definition
GUIDEBAR
Term
WHEN CHANGING CYLINDERS, THE FIRST THING TO DO IS?
Definition
SECURE THE CYLINDER
Term
WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE ATTACHING THE REGULATOR TO THE CYLINDER?
Definition
CRACK THE CYLINDER TO REMOVE ANY DEBRIS FROM THE VALVE
Term
HOW DO YOU CHECK FOR LEAKS AT THE REGULATOR?
Definition
OPEN THE CYLINDER, SHUT THE CYLINDER, & WATCH THE CYLINDER GAUGE FOR LOSS OF PRESSURE OVER SEVERAL MINUTES
Term
WHEN SHOULD A PUSH ANGLE BE USED ON OXY-FUEL CUTTING
Definition
ON PLAE UNDER 1/2 INCHE THICK
Term
HOW DOES PLATE THICKNESS AFFECT PUSH ANGLE WITH OFC?
Definition
THE THINNER THE METAL, THE MORE THE PUSH ANGLE SHOULD BE USED.
Term
WHAT IS A FLASHBACK?
Definition
THE FLAME BURNING BACK INTO THE TORCH OR BEYOND
Term
WHAT IS A BACKFIRE?
Definition
THE FLAME GOING OUT AND EXPLOSIVELY RE-IGNITING
Term
WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF BOTH FLASHBACKS AND BACKFIRES?
Definition
PLUGGED TIP
