Welding Safety
This is worn to protect your eyes from the bright welding arc.
What is a welding helmet?
This gas is commonly used as the fuel gas for oxy-fuel welding.
What is acetylene?
Plasma cutting uses a very hot stream of this to cut metal.
What is plasma?
This device controls the pressure of gas coming from a cylinder.
What is a regulator?
This process uses an electric arc to join pieces of metal.
What is arc welding?
Before moving a gas cylinder, this should be put on the cylinder.
What is the valve cap?
The two gases mixed together in oxy-fuel welding are oxygen and this fuel gas.
What is acetylene?
This type of gas is commonly supplied to a plasma cutter to create the plasma arc.
What is compressed air?
These carry gases from the regulators to an oxy-fuel torch
What are hoses?
In gas welding, this is added to the joint to build up the weld.
What is filler metal?
Gas cylinders should be secured using this so they do not fall over.
What is a chain or strap?
This type of flame has approximately equal amounts of oxygen and acetylene.
What is a neutral flame?
The plasma cutter uses electricity to create an arc between the torch and this.
What is the workpiece?
This part of a torch mixes the fuel gas and oxygen before combustion.
What is the mixer?
This process uses a plasma arc and compressed gas to cut metal.
What is plasma arc cutting?
Why should oil and grease be kept away from oxygen equipment?
What is because oxygen can make fires burn much more easily?
Why is filler rod used during gas welding?
What is to add metal to the joint?
Sputtering or hissing from the torch can be caused by this entering the unit through the air line.
What is moisture?
This tool is used to strike an oxy-fuel torch safely instead of using a match or lighter.
What is a striker?
A neutral flame is commonly used for this oxy-fuel process.
What is welding?
Before lighting an oxy-fuel torch, the hoses should be checked for leaks, damage, and this other
What is proper connections?
After shutting off the tanks, the gas remaining in the lines should be removed by doing this.
What is purging the lines?
After disconnecting gas cylinders from a plasma cutting unit, this should be installed on the regulator outlet before storage.
What is a protective cap?
A regulator with a slot mark on the nut usually indicates this type of thread.
What is a left-hand thread?
When setting up welding equipment, checking the equipment, connecting the correct gas lines, and setting the correct pressures are all part of this.
What is proper equipment setup?
