lol you have to be kinda stupid and not careful to **** up a oxy/acet rig, i've seen: cutted hoses (lots of flames) falling bottle, direct flame on a propane tank. and nothing really dangerous happened... just dont crank the acet past 15 psi and knock the bottle and you'll be alright! i never fear to light a oxy acet rig...

DO NOT TRY ANYWHERE, EVER. FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, THIS IS WHAT NOT TO DO.


2. It becomes extremely unstable at pressures above 15psi, after 15 it can explode(rapidly decompose) without oxygen.

.
This is just what i needed to hear considering i have 2 ancient ascetalyene tanks in my garage right under my room

ehh. that is just if you crank the output pressure above 15 psi when using it... other than that you can sleep in peace! ;)

Better to hear it then not to hear it. Howecome all the acetyln tanks I see have like a hub with 2 bolts that the valve threads into? while the oxygen is just like a normal tank.

Other big no no with acetylene tanks is laying it on it's side. And make sure you've got flashback arrestors on either regulators or torch or if you're really paranoid, on both.

What scares me more than any tool, up to this day, is bacon! My father nearly choked to death on a piece of fried bacon.:devil2:

Welding, (as much as this author knows), is a sculptural process that joins and combine materials, usually metals and thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. Sounds complicated right? Then yeah I agree with you, welding is an integral part on building, repairing and constructing. And through the years it has advanced quickly from blacksmiths pounding two metals together which is called forge welding, to arc-welding & oxyfuel-welding, to laser beam welding and electron beam welding, and now even to the very futuristic robot welding which researchers continue to develop and improve. So as you can see welding is a very important tool, as it can be used on almost anything, from your car repairs and even for your house maintenance, yes welding does the job.
Anyway one important thing that needs a lot of reminding is that welding needs a lot of safety issues, as it can be very hazardous to a person that doesn’t know what his doing, you need a lot of safety gears such as protective suits, leather gloves, goggles and of course helmets, so as you can see only professional welders should do the reparation and construction of certain things, just a reminder for those kids out there. All in all welding can be fun to a certain degree, as you can do experiments and stuffs.

nichole, you sound like a wikipedia bot, that searches for slightly similar bits of text, then makes a comment...or...just a common bot.
