What are the desired work flow PSI for both acetylene and oxygen?

OXYGEN & ACETYLENE PRESSURE REGULATORS To produce a steady flow of gas under varying cylinder pressures. A pressure regulator is connected between the cylinder/generator and the hose leading to welding torch. Desired pressure at the welding torch may be somewhere up to 35 psig for oxygen and 15 psig for acetylene.

Is acetylene filled by weight or pressure?

This process of control ensures all cylinders are filled accurately by weight. Our processes ensure the weigh scales used to fill acetylene cylinders are calibrated, ensuring the correct amount of acetylene gas added to each cylinder.

What is the 1/7 rule for acetylene?

The 1/7 rule simply means it is unsafe to flow more than 1/7th of an acetylene cylinder’s total contents.

How much pressure is in a full oxygen tank?

The size and subsequent capacity of the tank may vary but the full pressure is typically about 2,000 psi and can go as high as 3,000 psi. With this pressure level in the tank, a regulator converts the supplied pressure to a lower, and much safer, level for the user.

How much PSI is in a full oxygen tank?

A full cylinder will read about 2000 psi (pounds per square inch).

What pressure is oxy acetylene brazing?

The cylinders are filled with an absorbent material, like diatomaceous earth, and a small amount of acetone. The acetylene is pumped into the cylinders at a pressure of about 300 psi, where it is dissolved in the acetone. Once dissolved, it loses its explosive capability, making it safe to transport.

Do you turn on the oxygen or acetylene first?

We recommend closing the oxygen valve first whenever turning off an oxy-fuel torch system especially when Acetylene is fuel.

How much does a full acetylene tank weigh?
