| Abstract |
The blowpipe is a portable equipment used for cutting and welding of metallic objects. It uses the heat of combustion of a fuel (acetylene or propane) mixed with oxygen in specific proportions. This booklet describes the precautions to be taken during gas cutting and welding. It is primarily aimed at welders and persons responsible for safety in the enterprise, but also at engineering services involved in the selection of processes and equipment. Contents include: description of a welding workplace; gases used; hazards (due to pressure, the combustion of gases, splattering, the flame, radiation and smoke); safe working methods; data sheets (cylinders, pressure regulators, flexible tubing, blowpipes, safety devices, smoke hoods and ventilation). |
