Problem(s)
Flame present,
but cannot cut
properly.
18
Cutting, Welding and Brazing Hose Torch
Possible Cause(s)
1. Wrong type of flame.
2. Unable to preheat
workpiece
3. Inadequate oxygen to
cut material.
4. Moving cutting tip too
fast to cut.
5. Blue inner flame not
touching workpiece.
Suggested Solution(s)
1. See Operations - Refining the
Flame for the correct type of
flame.
2. Workpiece may be too large for
this torch. Consider alternate
method of cutting.
3. Increase the amount of oxygen
flow. Remember there is a finite
amount of oxygen in a bottle.
Take the size of the workpiece
into consideration.
4. Slow the cutting speed to allow
the torch to cut through the
material.
5. Make sure the blue flame is
touching the workpiece. The
yellow flame is not hot enough
to cut through metal.
