oxyacetylene welding

Welding process in which the heat required for fusion is provided by the burning of an acetylene and oxygen mixture in the end of the torch.

welding torch

Instrument burning gas to produce a flame of a given shape and intensity; it is used to weld and cut metal.

hose

Flexible tube bringing gas from the cylinder to the torch.

oxygen cylinder

Oxygen is the gas used to make the acetylene burn.

acetylene cylinder

As acetylene burns at very high temperatures (6,000°F), it is used in steel and metal work, where a high temperature must be attained quickly.

pressure regulator

Device placed at the outlet port of each cylinder; it lowers and stabilizes the gas pressure reaching the torch.

bottle cart

Support for the welding material, on wheels for easy moving.
