PST Apply physical science and engineering principles to design, implement and improve safe and efficient mechanical systems in AFNR situations. PST a. Identify the tools, machines and equipment needed to construct and/or fabricate a project in AFNR. Abrasive Cut-Off Saw Abrasive saw blade material is used to cut metal. Acetylene Regulator Used to reduce the high acetylene cylinder pressure to a workable constant prssure.Hose and cylinder connections are left handed threads. Brazing Rod Used as a filler rod when braze welding. May or may not be flux coated. Copper Coated Mild Steel Welding Rod
Used as a filler rod for mild steel oxy-fuelwelding. The copper coating prevents rusting Cutting Torch Tip Used with a cutting torch handle when oxy-fuel cutting. The tip size is determined by the thickness of the metal. Cutting Torch Used with the cutting tip when oxy fuel cutting steel. Electrode A coated metal wire used for shielded metal-arc welding a variety of metals. Electrode Holder Used to mechanically hold the electrode while conducting current from the electrode lead. Flashback Arrestor Used to limit damage from a flashback by allowing the gases to flow in only one direction, preventing the flame from burning back into the equipment. Friction Lighter Used to light torchs for cutting and welding. Safer than using matches or a lighter. Ground Clamp Used to connect the ground lead (cable) to the work.This provides a completed electrical circuit. Inert Gas Regulator Regulates shielding gases such as argon, helium and carbon dioxide.Used forMIG and TIG welding. Leather Gloves Used to protect the hands from the ultraviolet rays and spatter of hot metal. MIG Tips MIG tips guide the welding wire through the gun nozzle. MIG Welding Gun Used to deliver the wire and shielding gas to the weld surface. MIG Wire Used as filler wire for the MIG welding process.May be bare wire or flux cored. MIG Nozzle Gel Coating applied to lubricate the welding wire and tip for smoother wire flow during the welding process and cut down on splatter. Oxygen Regulator Used to reduce the high oxygen cylinder pressure to a workable constant pressure.Hose and cylinder connections are right-handed threads. Pipe Cutting Guide A variety of different types of guides that clamp around pipe to aid in cutting angles etc. Pipe cutting guides are available in a variety of sizes. Porcelain Gas Cup Non-metallic cup that directs the flow of shielding gases when TIG welding. Protective Leather, sleeves, apron or coat
Used to protect the body from harmful ultraviolet rays and hot molten spatter while welding. Slag or Chipping Hammer
Used for slag removal from shielded electrode weld. Tip Cleaner Used to clean and partially recondition both welding and cutting tips. Torch Handle Used to mix fuel gasses and oxygen in the correct proportions. Tungsten Electrode Non-consumable electrode that generates the arc when TIG welding.Can be purchased in a variety of sizes. Vise Grip Welding Clamp
With its flat and U shaped jaws, it is used to clamp metals quickly. Welding/Cutting Goggles
Used to protect eyes from damaging light rays and heat rays that may prove destructive to eye tissue. Should not be used for arc welding. Welding Helmet Used to protect the eyes and face from the harmful arc rays and molten spatter produced when arc welding. Welding Tip Used for all types of oxy-fuel brazing and welding. Wire Brush Used to prepare metal for welding or cutting. Removes slag or rust . May be used to clean parts of machinery. The End!
