O/A welding question: tip size
I'm having a welding problem. I'm using an OxyAcy rig. I'm
running 2 psi for each gas thru a .025 diameter tip. I find that in order to weld join two pieces of .035 tubing with this tip, I must adjust the flame until it's no larger than 3/16" long. Otherwise I'm heating up too much of an area and burning away the outer sleeve (in the case of a splice using an inner sleeve). A flame that small is very difficult to adjust. I'm puzzled because the charts I'm looking at show a tip of this size is appropriate for this size work. Can you suggest what might be my problem? - Regards, Mike |
