Define acetylene generator.
Give this one a try later!
A machine used to produce acetylene gas (C2H2) by bringing specific
amounts of granulated calcium carbide and water together under strictly
controlled conditions. The vaporous acetylene gas is collected from the
generator as it is produced, and it is placed into specially designed
cylinders for storage and use.
Name the safety device used on oxygen cylinders. What is its bursting pressure?

, It is a metal rupture disc that has a bursting pressure of about 22,000 kPa
(3200 psi)
List two (2) methods used for storing oxygen.

a)They may be stored as a liquid in a cryogenic container (like a thermos
bottle)
b) They may be stored as a gas in high-pressure cylinders
Which hose fittings have a left-hand thread?

Fuel gas fittings have a left-hand thread
What is the difference between a backfire and a flashback?
Give this one a try later!
A backfire occurs in the mixer and tip. A flashback occurs beyond the mixer
into the hose and regulator on the low-pressure side
Compare the pressures and contents of a full-size oxygen cylinder with a half-size
cylinder.
