EXPERIMENT: cng PLASMA CUTTING
SAFETY PRECAUTION
» Instructions and printed rules covering operation of equipments supplied by the
manufacture shall be strictically followed,
Working area and floor should kept clean,
Before starting welding ensures that the welding equipments is adequately earthed.
Welders should wear fire proof protective clothes.
The prevent the arc rays from reaching his/her body.
One should not look at an electric arc with the necked eye
To prevent welder head from radiation, spatter, and hot slag. A helmet or hand shield
vVvvvvv
must be worn
> Wear shoe while working in shop.
> No inflammable material should be present in the welding shop.
Objective of the experiment:
<> Meta
1. To calculate th Removal Rate (MRR) by variation of current, speed, tip orifice and
air pressure of different thickness of M.S. mi
2. To study about the influence of plasma arc cutting parameters on mild steel.
Tool & instruments: Mention various tools & measuring instruments used in the experiment.
Machine Description:
1. sehématic or Block diagram of the machine or setup with brief description
2. M/C Specification.
Job Description: Prepare the diagram of the job with dirnension.

Before using either style of machine torch, you must:
+ Mount the torch on your cutting table or other equipment,
+ Choose and install the consumables,
+ Align the torch.
+ Attach the torch lead to the power supply.
