When fuels are burned in the presence of oxygen, they are able to generate a flame of a higher temperature compared to that of a fuel burned in air. Oxy-fuel cutting makes use of this extremely hot flame to cut metals and it is up to the op... .. .
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 ............
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.......
Although only a tiny percentage of the earth’s atmosphere at about 0.04%, carbon dioxide has a huge impact on our lives. Perhaps you have heard the term “greenhouse gases” in reference to climate change. Well, the most prominent greenhouse gas in our atmosphere is CO2 and it is largely blam.......
We come into contact with carbon dioxide every day, often without even realizing it. CO2 is in the air we breathe and the minerals and beers we drink, but it is also used as a pro..... .. .
