Not So Pro 3

[USMC615]

My brother was doing some demo work at an ammonia plant called Arcadia that blew up in my hometown when I was a kid. He had to cut through some zirconium heat exchangers and he told me they were using a cutting torch that used gasoline. You have any experience with that? Sounds like something else I don’t want anything to do with.

Petrogen makes cutting torch setups that use gasoline, diesel, kerosene. Ain’t so damn sure I’d wanna be on the wrong end of one though.

i dont know of any torch that uses gasoline
we use oxy acetylene torches and air lances

Is the air lance the same as air arc?

 

[Egg Shooter]

You fellas think acetylene is any safer than gas? Both a bit flammable and a potential bomb.

Popback from being able to cut thicker material is what bothers me

i usually run my arc gouge about 30 to 45 degrees and i like the solid round rod
the flat ones suck
i actually enjoy arc gouging and have gotten good at it

air lance is more for total destruction or severing thick stuff
arc gouge is for cutting out weld or cutting thin stainless as a torch wont cut stainless if its a good grade

There was a guy at a place I worked. He was the weld eraser for those that effed up or the engeneers changed their minds.

lol i usually volunteer to do the arc gouging or plasma cutting
we use the arc gouge mostly on big headers where the tubes are welded into as there is a flat seat that is machined and if get into that seat it causes alot more work so you have to know what you are doing

It's not fixed. It just decided to not go dead.

It's a mix of warranty and customer pay.

What a PITA
