Pros & Cons of Leasing vs. Owning your tanks - Miller Welding ...
Different areas have different prices...When I got my O/A tanks, in the mid 70's, all that I could get was a long-term lease...$100.00 for 20years on the oxygen & 15 on the acetylene, they figured that was the average working life of the cylinders at that time. When I got them filled, they always swapped tanks.
Transporting Tanks - Miller Welding Discussion Forums
2009年9月18日 · Gas bottles (Oxygen, Argon, etc) are ok in any position, but acetylene is better vertical due to the filler. In most of the US, regulations require that all tanks be secured so that they can not move, and many states require all tanks be transported vertical, valve up, with valve cap fit if the tank is equipped for it.
laying bottle on its side - Miller Welding Discussion Forums
Tweet. #3. 06-24-2007, 06:40 AM. If I remember correctly all of the tanks have like a fiber board liner them, and they lay on there side they the particles from the get lifted up and time to settle down. That might be just oxygen and acetylene bottles tho. MAC702.
Pressure regulator setting for O/A cutting and welding
2006年2月16日 · For an example of what pressures one might use, I think I use 6PSI Acetylene and 20PSI Oxygen for a #1 cutting tip. For welding, one might use 1-5PSI equal pressures on each. Halbritt has probably given you the best info. As a general starting point usually 8 - 10 times the acetylene on the oxygen (if you're running 6 PSI acetylene - run 48 ...
Oxygen/Acetylene Caps for Transportation - Miller Welding …
Tweet. #1. Oxygen/Acetylene Caps for Transportation. 03-22-2006, 01:14 PM. Did we ever settle the question regarding the legality of the “sandwich” style caps for oxygen and acetylene tanks during transportation? This would be the safety caps that install on top of the valves with the regulators still screwed on.
Oxy / Acetylene firewall barriers - Miller Welding Discussion Forums
06-15-2007, 09:11 AM. well as i understand it, it is all the time, but then again it isn't. they say if the bottles are in use, you do not have to have the firewall or sepereate the bottles by 20'. BUT when you stop using them the clock starts ticking and if not used again within a 24 hour period, you must install a firewall or seperate the ...
Filling small tanks - Miller Welding Discussion Forums
2013年2月4日 · Close all valves & crack open a nut to release pressure then remove. The bottles will equalize in pressure so your not actually filling the smaller one all the way. Do not do this with acetylene!! Do not do this with any flammable gas either!! Last edited by …
Refilling AIRCO cylinder - Miller Welding Discussion Forums
Just now needing refilling and pressure check. 330 cu ft. Thanks. You should probably take it to the LWS where you exchange cylinders. They will examine it and determine whether it is refillable and whether it needs a new hydrotesting stamp. Many years ago when I moved to California, I had a set of oxy-Acetylene tanks that were bought in Illinois.
Questions about putting O/A on a truck?
2010年11月14日 · The stuff you guys are refering to is acetone.Its inside the tanks to stabilze the acetylene it becomes highly unstable under high pressure.Hence why you should never set your regulator above 10 psi and that high is only needed to run a rose bud tip,cutting i use 4-5psi. depending on tip size.A tank that has been layed on its side should be stood upright for at …
Oxy Cylinder Mounting - Miller Welding Discussion Forums
2008年3月3日 · Oxy Cylinder Mounting. 03-03-2008, 07:22 PM. I am building a welding trailer to pull behind my pickup, and have seen oxygen cyliners mounted in an inclined postion on other trucks and trailers. Is there a minimum angle of inclination that is required in order to keep the liquid oxygen from getting into the regulator?
