Gas welding is one of the more convenient, simple and economical in the use of methods for combining parts from metals, such as instrumental and thin steel, cast iron, different non -ferrous metals and more. Among the advantages of this welding method, the use of a convenient and easy to use gas welding equipment is distinguished.
Gas welding equipment is used in mechanical engineering; in various repair work; in construction and installation works.
Types of gas welding equipment:
1. Gas cutters. Using this device, oxygen and combustible gas are mixed, due to this, jets of welding flame come out of the mouthpiece.
2. Gas sleeves. Gas supply (oxygen, propane, acetylene, butane) under pressure is carried out using a gas sleeve.
3. Gas consumption regulators. They are indirect and direct, used to lower the level of gas pressure in gas welding equipment, as well as to maintain it at the right level. The use of regulators provides reliability, efficiency and accuracy of gas supply.
4. Gas gearboxes. They are used to lower the pressure of the gas selected from the cylinder. In addition, they are needed to maintain gas pressure at a certain level.
5. Gas-burners. This is the main gas welding equipment that is used for manual welding. In welding burners, the process of mixing oxygen and acetylene occurs, then the combustible mixture pours out of the mouthpiece of the burner and burns out, while it gives a constant welding flame.
Gas welding equipment the price is quite attractive. Moreover, that this equipment has many advantages. Let’s look at a few of them:
– used with almost any type of metal
– Ease of use
– you can adjust the rate of heating of the metal that is underwent welding
– can be used without a source of electricity.
