* The approx. Oxygen consumption ration for various gasses is as follows:
1 oxygen to 1 acetylene
2 oxygen to 1 Mapp®/Natural gas
4 oxygen to 1 propane/propylene
Gas consumption data is merely for estimating purposes. It will vary due to the material, skill of the operator and working conditions
**Use same pressures for fuel gas for brazing and one size or larger tip. Pressures are approximate for hose lenght up to 25ft, increase for longer lengths about 3 psi for every 25ft, increase working pressure 2-3 psi for check valves.NOTE: Oxy-acetylene must be used to produce satisfactory welds in steel.

Acetylene cylinder gas withdrawal should not exceed 1/7 (15%) of cylinders contents per hour. Do not allow gas cylinders (especially oxygen) to empty in use - this can cause unbalanced pressures and reverse flow of gasses. An adequate cylinder of manifold system should be provided for large gas usage operations with 3/8" hose for larger size tips. Approximate heat output B.T.U./HR. per cubic foot: acetylene 1470, propane 2498, Mapp® 2406 propylene 2371, natural gas 1000.

***IMPORTANT:
Use maximum pressure on large heating tips to avoid backfire and flashback conditions from low gas flows. Fuel gas flame must have excessive smoking cleared to provide adequate gas flow increase fuel regulator pressure enough to clear smoke from flame.
