: Thank you GORDON for replying ..
: I have one more query ..Can I coat 316 SS with the above mentioned 10E gun. If yes ..can I operate under the same pressures ..
: Thanks in Advance
Hi Manik
Yes
Assuming your 10E gun is set-up for use with 1/8 wire and GF and AF flowmeters:
Lighting pressures:
oxygen 35 psi
Acetylene 15 psi
Air 70 psi
Flowmeter readings for 316 ss:
Reduce pressures shown above to obtain
oxygen 44
acetylene 40
air 50
If wire tip appears ragged in flame, reduce oxygen flow (pressure) a little until tip appears even.
Regards Gordon
