Safety Tips For Gas Welding

Storage and Handling

After completing the welding gas, Always keep the gas cylinders and oxygen with a minimum of 20 meters distance between them. Or, for those with the right firewall. When the cylinder can be easily burned, keep flammable and combustible materials from the cylinder. Store cylinders away from physical harm, heat, and noise. Always keep cylinders in an upright position. If possible, Chain them constantly to keep them from falling. Make sure that the cylinder valve has been closed or not before moving. Defending hats or regulators should be kept in place. Roll the cylinder at the lower end to move from one place to another. Do not pull it. Try to reduce as much as possible the cylinder movement, while transporting it.

General Gas Welding Safety Tips

To lift gas cylinders, use of equipment designed for lifting. Do not use other tools to answer it. Check the torch and clean only with an appropriate tool. Blow-back protection of the torch must be used during welding. Always supervise the equipment and ensure that any leaks at all connections. This can be done using approved leak test solution. Intervals to check for leaks and places that apply. Replace bad hoses periodically. Keep fire extinguishers places easily accessible, on site welding. Keep hoses and cylinders from sparks, flames, and hot metal as a spark to make a hole in it. To fire a fire in a welder. always use a flint lighter. Standing to the side when opening the cylinder valve. Using two-stage regulators whenever feasible. When using a single stage regulator, open the cylinder valve very slowly. This makes quick burst of high pressure using a single stage regulator.Bila regulators, just open the acetylene cylinder valve 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 turn. Leave the wrench in place. Thus, you can quickly close the cylinder in case of emergency. Open and light acetylene first. Then open and adjust oxygen to a neutral flame. When turned off the torch, first you must close the acetylene torch valve you may have heard a pop as the oxygen blowing the fire, but fire will not burn the acetylene line. When you are finished: Close the cylinder valve. Bloody row to take the pressure from regulators. Be careful coil hose. Return the equipment.
