Oxy-Fuel Cutting with Acetylene
Burning fuel in the presence of oxygen produces an intensely hot flame that has been used to cut and weld metal for more than a century. For the operator, the only decision that needs to be made before production begins is the type of fuel to use. Common fuels include acetylene, propane, and propylene and each has benefits and detr... .. .
Health & Safety with Welding Gases
There are many inherent risks of welding and cutting processes, one of which is the potential exposure to toxic gases. In some cases, such as MIG and TIG, welders purposefully use shielding gases to protect the weld pool from contamination by the atmosphere. Most of these gases are not ............
Preserving the Vino with Nitrogen
A bottle of wine can enhance a meal, create a celebratory atmosphere, or make a wonderful gift. However, wine is a fickle beverage. The delicate chemical balance of a good wine requires careful treatment at all stages of the production and storage process. One of the primary enemies of wine is the oxy......

Storing and Handling Gas Cylinders
Many welding and cutting processes require the use of compressed gases, either for shielding or for fuel. These gases are stored under high pressure, upwards of 200 Bar or 200 times atmospheric pressure, and as such they must be treated with care. If a gas cylinder becomes damag.......
