The material oxygen cylinders are forged from, with a minimum wall thickness of 1/4 inch.
A solid armor plate steel.
The man-made product that reacts with water to produce acetylene.
Calcium carbide
The color of the oxygen hose and the color of the acetylene hose.
Green and red.
This condition, caused by the tip being too close to the metal, makes the flame blow out.
A backfire.
The pressure, in PSI, to which new oxygen cylinders are tested using a hydrostatic test.
Over 3,300 PSI
This substance is present inside the cylinder to stabilize the acetylene.
Acetone.
The thread direction on the acetylene hose, identified by a groove in the nut.
Left hand thread.
This shrill hissing condition sends the flame into the torch head and is caused by a hose leak.
A flashback.
This device, made of stainless steel, is designed to rupture before the cylinder is damaged by pressure.

The two things you must never do when transporting cylinders.
Transporting without safety caps in place and transporting with regulators in place
The reason acetylene cylinders must always be stored upright.
To prevent the acetone from escaping, which would make the acetylene unstable
The component that causes the regulator gauge's pointer to move as internal pressure increases.
