15 psig. At pressures above that, acetylene can explode.
it is above the altenater next to the fuel pressure regulator. it is above the altenater next to the fuel pressure regulator.
Acetylene becomes unstable and can explode at pressures above 15 psi (pounds per square inch) when in contact with air or oxygen. It is important to handle acetylene cylinders with caution and always follow proper safety procedures to prevent accidents.
Oxy-fuel cutting uses acetylene and oxygen to preheat metal to red hot and then uses pure oxygen to burn away the preheated metal. Acetylene, which is used in the oxy-fuel process becomes extremely dangerous if it is used at pressures above 15 pounds per square inch.
No, you do not "need" a regulator. The oven will work without it. However, the regulator controls the gas pressure. I bought two pizza ovens recently. One had a regulator and got up to the 650 degrees I set it to. The other did not have a regulator and would not rise above 500 degrees.
Locally made aceytlene generators operates at low pressure (

YOU MEAN THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR? The voltage regulator is basically a gatekeeper that will shut off the flow of juice to your battery if the voltage goes above a certain level, usually 14.5 volts. This keeps your battery from getting overcharged and cooked. They call it an external voltage regulator nowdays because newer alternators have them built into the alternator unit itself
If you set your tanks to about 5 psi and 5psi, you should not have to change the pressure, instead simply adjust the knobs on the torch to give more of each gas. If this still is a problem, try 7-9 psi for each. NEVER NEVER NEVER go above 12 for acetylene, it is unstable at 15, best to not get close...
Fuel pressure regulator is on the top of the motor above the end of the valve cover on the driver side of car.It is round about 1 1/2'' tall and has a vaccum line coming out the top.
Acetylene can not be stored inside a cylinder on its own as its properties will not let it be compressed above 103.5 kPa. To solve this problem the cylinder is filled with an absorbent material such as charcoal (asbestos in olden times) and acetone is added. The absorbant material absorbes the acetone and this acetone/solvent stabilizes the gas. I can not explain why but because of this the bottles draw off rate is restricted. LPG can be compressed on its own and because of this even as some of the gas is used enough pressure can be drawn for heating unlike acetylene. Hope this helps
