2. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

   The oxy-acetylene (and other oxy-fuel gas mixtures) welding torch remains a mainstay heat source for manual brazing, as well as metal forming, preparation, and localized heat treating. In addition, oxy-fuel cutting is still widely used, both in heavy industry and light industrial and repair operations.

3. Blowpipe (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowpipe_(tool)

   While blowing air is effective, blowing oxygen produces higher temperatures, and it is also practical to invert the roles of the gasses and blow fuel through air. Contemporary blowtorches and oxy-fuel welding and cutting torches can be considered to be modern developments of the blowpipe. Kit for blowpipe analysis Carl Osterland, Freiberg, c. 1870

4. Flashback arrestor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback_arrestor

   A flashback arrestor or flash arrestor is a gas safety device most commonly used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting to stop the flame or reverse flow of gas back up into the equipment or supply line. It protects the user and equipment from damage or explosions.

5. Flame cleaning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_cleaning

   Shown in the adjacent diagram, the surface is blasted with the oxygen-fuel torch across the surface versus the orthodox use of the flame as a cutting or gouging tool. Though the equipment is the same, the flame used in cleaning is drastically reduced to prevent excess removal of the surface.

   Name N AWS Characteristics Applications Air acetylene welding (321) AAW Chemical welding process, not popular Limited Oxyacetylene welding: 311: OAW Combustion of acetylene with oxygen produces high-temperature flame, inexpensive equipment

7. Oxyhydrogen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxyhydrogen

   It is used for cutting and welding [15] metals, glasses, and thermoplastics. [11] Due to competition from arc welding and other oxy-fuel torches such as the acetylene-fueled cutting torch, the oxyhydrogen torch is seldom used today, but it remains the preferred cutting tool in some niche applications.

8. Oxy-fuel combustion process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_combustion_process

   However, oxy-fuel is a viable alternative to removing CO 2 from the flue gas from a conventional air-fired fossil fuel plant. However, an oxygen concentrator might be able to help, as it simply removes nitrogen. In industries other than power generation, oxy-fuel combustion can be competitive due to higher sensible heat availability. Oxy-fuel ...

9. Blowtorch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowtorch

   Their fuel reservoir is disposable or refillable by exchange. Liquid-fueled torches are pressurized by a piston hand pump, while gas torches are self-pressurized by the fuel evaporation. The term "blowtorch" is commonly misused as a name for any metalworking torch, but properly describes the pressurized liquid fuel torches that predate the ...
