WORKING PROCEDURES
Make sure pressure regulator screws are backed out
Make sure torch valves are closed
Open the acetylene valves
Ignite flame with striker
Than slowly open the oxygen valve until flame leaves end of tip and no smoke is
present than the flame goes back to tip till it become neutral flame
Keep the metal plate side by side to make a butt join
If the torch is held in the correct position, a small puddle of molten metal forms.
The puddle should be centered in the joint and composed of equal parts of those pieces
being welded.
After the puddle appears, the tip should be moved in a semicircular arc or circular
motion equally between the pieces to ensure an even distribution of heat.
As the metal melts and the puddle forms, filler rod is needed to replace the metal that
flows out from around the joint.
The rod is added to the puddle in the amount that provides for the completed fillet to
weld the metal plate perfectly.
Once done the welding process , have to turn off all the valves on the torch and also on
the pressure regulator.
