Welding Pathfinder Honour

 

1.      Identify, all parts of the following:

a.       Welding and cutting torches

b.      Oxygen and acetylene gauges and their differences

c.       Oxygen and acetylene hoses and their differences

d.      Oxygen and acetylene tanks and their differences

2.      Explain the safe working pressures of oxygen and acetylene, as per your instructor's directions, for various procedures.

3.      While blindfolded, demonstrate ability to hook up an entire oxyacetylene kit, including tanks, gauges, hoses, and torches, and light same.**

4.      As per your instructor's directions, weld two mild steel test plates (118" x I" 8")(3 x 25 x 200mm) horizontal, vertical and overhead positions.

5.      Use a cutting torch and demonstrate your skill by making one 12" (30cm) straight-line cut, one circle cut of at least 3" (7.5cm) in diameter and one 3" (7.5cm) star cut. The cuts are to be made on mi Id steel plate at least 114" (6mm) thick.

6.      Demonstrate your ability to braze a cast-iron object with at least 114" (6mm) double bevel butt weld 2" (5cm) long.

7.      Explain the safety precautions and safety equipment normally used in electric welding in relation to eyes, hands and exposed skin areas. Why should tank valves never be oiled?

8.      Explain the difference between oxyacetylene and electric arc welding.

9.      Demonstrate ability to select from an electrode guide the proper amperage and electrode for various types and thicknesses of metal.

10. Demonstrate your ability to weld flat, vertical, horizontal and overhead an 1/8" x 2" x 8" (3 x 25 x 200 mm) mild steel test plates.

 

*    An instructor is a must. Welding is a very critical and serious skill to learn and is not a home-type course. Welding essentially takes the place of bolts and rivets, and if not properly done is most dangerous. Example: A trailer hitch not properly bonded or machinery exposed to strain of pull or weight, is an invitation to disaster.

** This requirement demonstrates one's skill in working in darkness, such as in an emergency. All acetylene connection threads are left handed and all oxygen connection threads are right handed.
