AIR-ACETYLENE MIXTURE [1 record]

Record 1 1992-01-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
CONT

[The] air is mixed with the acetylene in the torch in the same manner as air is mixed with the gas in a kitchen range. When the air-acetylene mixture is ignited at the torch top it produces a flame with temperature of about 4000 °F, which is ample heat for almost all silver soldering jobs, brazing jobs and for all the soft solder work in the plumbing field.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soudage (Métal)
CONT

[L'] air est ensuite mélangé à l'acétylène dans le chalumeau, de la même manière que l'air et le gaz sont mélangés dans une cuisinière. La combustion du mélange air-acétylène dans le chalumeau, produit une flamme dont la température atteint environ 4000 °F, ce qui suffit amplement pour la plupart des travaux de brasage fort, de brasage à l'argent, et pour tous les travaux de brasage tendre effectués en plomberie.
