What this sheet is for

Keep the checks on an oxy-fuel set in one place with the parts that make it safe. After a flashback, the sheet shows what was checked and replaced before it was lit again.

Who it is for

Fabricators, heating engineers, garages, plumbers and anyone using an oxy-acetylene or oxy-propane set for cutting, welding, brazing or heating.

How to use it

  1. Record the serial numbers and fitted dates of the regulators, arresters and hoses on each line.
  2. Check the set before use or on your own round, and leak-test the connections with detector fluid.
  3. After any flashback, keep the set out of use until the torch, hoses, regulators and arresters have been checked, and record it.
  4. Log every part replaced, and update the line-by-line table at the top.

What is on the sheet

2 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: One oxy-fuel set: the regulators, flashback arresters and hoses on each line recorded once, then every check of the set, every flashback or backfire and every part replaced.

The makers set the pressures and lives. No pressures, hose lengths or replacement dates are printed. Gas pressures come from the torch and nozzle maker's chart; the life of regulators, arresters and hoses comes from their makers and your supplier. After any flashback, take the set out of use and check the torch, hoses, regulators and arresters before it is lit again.

Questions

Why are there no gas pressures or replacement dates on the sheet?

Because working pressures depend on the torch and nozzle, and the life of a regulator, arrester or hose is set by its maker. Use their charts and dates, and write them on the sheet where they apply.

Can a leaking hose be repaired?

Not with tape or a patch. Cut back past the damage and refit proper hose fittings, or replace the hose, and record what was done in the parts table.
