To prevent oxidation and allow the alloy to flow into the fitting capillary action (attraction) and it is best to use a non acid flux and if one knows how to braze they can braze joints with a tensile strength of 87,000 PSI without the use of flux PROVIDING you use the correct rod as per AWS

How do pneumatic tube systems work?
Pneumatic tube systems today are most seen at the drive-through windows of banks. Pneumatic tubes use pressured air to push a sealed object through the system. how do pneumatic truck trailers work?
What machines use pneumatic tube systems?
A variety of automation systems use pneumatic tubes to move material via puffs of air. Bank systems still use them. In the Denver Airport, large pneumatic tubes move aircraft parts around the terminals.
What is use of stay tube in Cochran boiler?
The stay tubes basically hold the boiler together, they are thicker than the ordinary tubes and generally dont need to be replaced as often.
Which valve is the preferred valve to use as flow control valve at the pump discharge 8 inch size ball valve can be used for the same application?
I would use a butterfly valve to set the flow and a pitot tube to measure it. Nexus Valve makes a good one and it is price competetive as well.
Use of draft tube in reaction turbine?
1. To reduce velocity/ kinetic energy of water making exit thereby converting kinetic energy to pressure head allowing turbine to be installed above tail pool level. 2. To create negative suction head. 3. Provide added head.
Method of using expired liquid flux Soldering?
It is not recommended to use expired liquid flux for soldering as the effectiveness of the flux diminishes over time, which can lead to poor soldering results. It is best to use fresh flux to ensure proper soldering and avoid issues such as weak joints or oxidation. Expired flux may also contain harmful chemicals that could pose health risks during soldering.
Can I use acid flux when soldering copper pipe for a water line?
All flux has acid so yes u can as long as u wipe it clean after u solder it will cause Ur joint to turn green
How can I effectively repair a copper pipe?
To effectively repair a copper pipe, you can use a pipe cutter to remove the damaged section, clean the ends of the pipe, and then use a soldering torch to join a new piece of copper pipe using solder and flux. Make sure to follow safety precautions and practice proper soldering techniques for a successful repair.
What is the purpose of using soldering flux?
After cleaning copper pipe and fitting, applying flux helps ensure that solder will adhere to pipe and fitting when joint is heated to proper temperature.AnswerIt depends on what type of 'flux' you are talking about? For example, 'electric flux' and 'magnetic flux' exists naturally, and is not 'for' anything in particular, although it can be made use of.
How can I cap a copper pipe effectively?
To cap a copper pipe effectively, you can use a soldering technique. First, clean the end of the pipe and the inside of the cap. Apply flux to both surfaces, then heat the joint with a torch and melt solder around the connection. This will create a watertight seal.
What can you use soldering for?
Use soldering to permanently connect electrical contacts, and also to permanently join copper water pipes without leaks (if you do it right!!)
Why is copper used for soldering iron?
Copper is used for soldering iron tips because it has good thermal conductivity, allowing it to quickly transfer heat from the iron to the soldered joint. Additionally, copper is durable and resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for prolonged use in soldering applications.
What is the use of acid in soldering and brazing?
It is used to clean impurities away from the surface to be soldered or brazed. Many times it is included in the flux. The use of acid type of fluxes is actually detrimental to good plumbing , soldering practices because if the flux is not properly cleaned the joint will eat away from the corrosive action of the acid
What am I doing wrong when I can't get the solder to stick when soldering a copper pipe?
Not cleaning the pipe or joint enough, not using flux, or not heating the pipe or joint enough. You use the blue tip of the flame on the joint and the capillary action sucks the solder into the joint. You have to clean the pipe with sandpaper or steel wool, the joints with a fitting brush on the inside, and use a proper flux and solder.
What is the use of ammonia chlorine?
Ammonium chloride is used in a variety of applications such as in fertilizer, as a flux for soldering, in medical treatments, and as a food additive.
Is flux in solder?
Yes, flux is a material commonly used in soldering to clean and prepare the metal surfaces being joined. It helps remove any oxide layers, promotes better wetting of the solder to the surface, and enhances the overall soldering process by ensuring a strong bond between the materials.
Why would you seem to have a lot of gas leaks lately while soldering joints that might be attributed to using MAPP Gas with Power Flux?
i only use silver solder comes in a flat stick ,and flows effortless on copper and brass without any flux,sounds like your solder is not flowing due to lack of heat using mapp,acetylene is the best but try the silver solder without flux
