Heavy-duty bolt cutters are designed to cut through bolts, padlocks, etc. It is quicker to use a bolt cutter than to use a hacksaw, or to use an acetylene burner (acetylene torch) with its cumbersome tanks.
oxygen supports the combustion of the gas that one uses in the welding/cutting torch. Acetylene combined with Oxygen produces the hottest flame.
OSHA standard, 1910.253(a)(2) says:Maximum pressure. Under no condition shall acetylene be generated, piped(except in approved cylinder manifolds) or utilized at a pressure in excess of 15psig (103 kPa gauge pressure) or 30 psia (206 kPa absolute). ... This requirementis not intended to apply to storage of acetylene dissolved in a suitable solvent incylinders manufactured and maintained according to U.S. Department ofTransportation requirements, or to acetylene for chemical use. The use of liquidacetylene shall be prohibited.
Because the acetylene is stored dissolved in acetone. You don't want to get any liquid acetone up into the valve area where it can get into the regulator, as it can damage the regulator. If the tank does go on its side, be sure to set it upright and let it be for awhile before putting it in use.
Brazing can be done with a small torch or a big soldering iron. Either electric or brazier heated. The tip on a torch should be small as you don't need the heat you use when gas welding or cutting.

You use an acetylene torch and special brazing rods.
a flame needs a source which is provided by oxygen and acetylene
In normal usage in an oxy/acetylene cutting torch, the acetylene hose is red and the oxygen hose is green.
use an acetylene blow torch and vise grips! Everyone knows that!
Most use propane, but you can use acetylene also. Just as long as you don't get it too hot. Propane will not melt copper, but acetylene will.
Acetylene welding is a process in which like metals are joined by heating them to their melting temperature with an oxy-acetylene flame produced by a torch.
Oxygen Acetylene torch will get to 5800-6300 degrees Fahrenheit easily.
yes it can but apparently isn't ideal. we run acetylene regs on our propane torch.
An acetylene or propane torch.
Heavy-duty bolt cutters are designed to cut through bolts, padlocks, etc. It is quicker to use a bolt cutter than to use a hacksaw, or to use an acetylene burner (acetylene torch) with its cumbersome tanks.
Oxygen and acetylene tanks feed into your torch. When opened, the gases will mix in a chamber in the torch, then flow out of the torch tip. Using a spark lighter, they will ignite causing a flame. This flame can be adjusted to a neutral flame by moving the knobs on the tank regulators.
