: Hello,
: We have a 10E METCO flame spray gun. We would like to coat aluminium on mild steel ....
: Is it feasible to have this pair ...
: One more thing is that at what pressures should I operate the flow meters of oxygen & acetylene
: Thanks in advance ......
Hi Manik
Yes
Assuming your 10E gun is set-up for use with 1/8 aluminium wire and GF and AF flowmeters:
Lighting pressures:
oxygen 35 psi
Acetylene 15 psi
Air 70 psi
Flowmeter readings:
Reduce pressures shown above to obtain
oxygen 43
acetylene 40
air 52
