- FLAME GROWS LOUD, THEN BLOWS OFF END OF TORCH AND EXPIRES:
- - REASON: Overall gas pressure is too high.
- - CURE: use larger torch tip or turn down gas pressures.
-
- FLAME POPS AND GOES OUT OR GOES INTO TORCH TIP AND WHISTLES:
- - REASON: Pressure is not high enough for the tip. The
- flame is "pre-igniting." It is trying to burn back into
- the tip faster than the gas is coming out.
- - CURE: Use a smaller tip or increase the gas pressures.
-
- TUBE DOES NOT MELT:
- - CURES: Move torch closer; use larger tip or more
- pressure; hold still.
- FLAME POPS AND SPRAYS MOLTEN STEEL:
- - REASON: Sparks from the steel cause the torch to pre-
- ignite. Resulting explosion blasts the steel puddle.
- - CURE: Use more gas pressure or smaller tip.
