Semi Automatic Pipe Cutting Machine

Oxy fuel cutting or oxy fuel welding are processes that use fuel gases and oxygen to weld and cut metals respectively. Pure oxygen is used to increase the flame temperature to allow localized melting of the work piece material in a room environment. A common propaneair flame burns at about 2000 degree Celsius, a propaneoxygen flame burns at about 2500 degree Celsius and acetyleneoxygen burns at about 3500 degree Celsius. In oxy-fuel cutting, a cutting torch is used to heat metal to kindling temperature. A stream of oxygen is then trained on the metal and metal burns in that oxygen and then flows out of the cut (kerf) as an oxide slag. Process requires Gas cylinders for oxygen and acetylene, gas regulators, gas hoses, non-return valve, torch. This can cut only mild steel.
