Question 1 of 27070

In an oxy-acetylene welding outfit, each cylinder has a regulator and two pressure gages. One pressure gage indicates cylinder pressure and the other gage is used to indicate __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a regulator in an oxy-acetylene system (what it does to the high cylinder pressure) • Difference between cylinder pressure and working pressure delivered to the torch • Where each gage is connected: high-pressure side vs low-pressure side of the regulator

💭 Think About

• Think about what the welder actually needs to adjust in order to get the correct flame at the torch tip; which pressure is that? • Which of the listed pressures could realistically be measured on the low-pressure side of the regulator feeding the hoses and torch? • Is there such a thing as "arc" in oxy-acetylene welding, or is that term used with a different welding process?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which gage is on the high‑pressure (cylinder) side and which is on the low‑pressure (delivery) side of the regulator • Confirm which answer choice best describes the pressure being sent out of the regulator toward the torch • Eliminate any term that belongs more to electric arc welding than to gas welding
