Contact the area host or one of the other authorized members listed below to arrange an authorization session.
Prerequisites: none.
# Make sure the torch valve is closed (clockwise).
# Make sure the torch valve is closed (clockwise).
# Turn the pressure regulator T-handle counterclockwise until it is loose.
# Turn the pressure regulator T-handle counterclockwise until it is loose.
# Open the valve at the top of the cylinder 1/4 turn counterclockwise. The right gauge should now be showing the internal pressure of the cylinder and the left gauge should be at 0 PSI.
# Open the valve at the top of the cylinder 1/4 turn counterclockwise. The right gauge should now be showing the internal pressure of the cylinder, and the left gauge should be at 0 PSI.
# Turn the pressure regulator T-handle clockwise until the desired pressure (12-14 PSI) is shown on the left gauge. Don't let the pressure get into the red zone (above 15 PSI).
# Turn the pressure regulator T-handle clockwise until the desired pressure (typically 8-10 PSI) is shown on the left gauge. Don't let the pressure get into the red zone (above 15 PSI).
# Open the torch valve a small amount and use a striker to light the torch. Never use a match or cigarette lighter!
# Open the torch valve a small amount and use a striker to light the torch. Never use a match or cigarette lighter!
# Adjust the torch valve to achieve the desired flame size.
# Adjust the torch valve to achieve the desired flame size.
== Turning off the torch. ==
== Turning off the torch. ==
# Turn the torch pressure valve clockwise. Stop here if you'll be using it again soon.
# Close the torch handle valve (clockwise) to extinguish the flame. Stop here if you'll be using it again soon.
# Shut the cylinder valve by turning the handle clockwise.
# Shut the cylinder valve by turning the handle clockwise.
# Turn the regulator T-handle counterclockwise until it is loose. The pressure gauges should drop to 0.
# Open the torch handle valve to purge the hose of acetylene. '''Both''' pressure gauges should drop to 0.
# Open the torch valve to purge the hose of acetylene.
# Close the torch handle valve.
# Turn the regulator T-handle counterclockwise until it is loose.
== DO NOT USE AN EMPTY TANK ==
# If the right gauge is near 50-60 PSI (red numbers), send a message to [email protected] and the #small-metals Slack channel that the tank needs to be replaced.
# If the right gauge is at or below 50 PSI: DO NOT USE the acetylene. Immediately shut down the tank and notify [email protected] and the #small-metals Slack channel that the tank needs to be replaced.
# For reference, note that a full tank of acetylene will have internal pressure (right gauge, red numbers) near 250 PSI.
