Pressure Distribution
Gas Types
- Oxygen: Reactive cutting, steel
- Nitrogen: Inert cutting, oxidation-free
- Air: Economic option, general purpose
- Argon: Non-ferrous metals
Pressure Guidelines
- Thin Steel: 0.2-0.8 bar O₂
- Thick Steel: 1-6 bar O₂
- Stainless: 5-20 bar N₂
- Aluminum: 8-20 bar N₂
Quality Factors
- Pressure: Affects kerf width and dross
- Flow Rate: Determines cut quality
- Standoff: Critical for gas effectiveness
- Purity: Higher purity = better cuts
Troubleshooting
- Too High: Wide kerf, poor edge quality
- Too Low: Dross formation, incomplete cut
- Wrong Gas: Oxidation or poor finish
- Bad Nozzle: Turbulent flow, poor cut
⚠️ Gas Safety
Gas Safety Warning: High-pressure gas systems can be dangerous. Ensure proper ventilation, gas leak detection, and emergency shutoff procedures. Oxygen-enriched environments increase fire risk. Use appropriate PPE and follow gas handling safety protocols. Regular maintenance of gas delivery systems is essential.
