I was working at a dealership last summer as a service porter. I was 18. One of the mechanics asked if i wanted to help. The dealership sends out old cat converters to be recycled, but they could only fit in a certain rectangular box. The company that takes them requires that the exhaust collector must be removed since they were designed with the catalytic converter as one piece. Welp, they cut the exhaust collector off so it can fit in the box. He didn’t wanna do it and offered me to try it so he can continue working on other things. He showed me how to do it and what flame to look for, how to use it briefly. Only safety thing i was told was to wear welding glasses and some leather gloves, jeans required of course. So at my young age, hell yea of course id take the opportunity because i never used an acetylene torch before and it was really cool, i cut off like 2 of them, went fine. Come another day, same thing. Im cuttin it on the floor since its big and quite heavy, as im cutting i didnt notice my pair of green and red hoses slip under the exhaust where i was cutting cause the glasses are so dark i can only see the flame. Loud hissing sounds, almost like removing the air of a tire were blasting through the shop. Mechanic next to me, doing an alignment ran over and me and him are turning off the cylinders. I cut through the green hose and almost through the red one. I didn’t realize how bad the situation could’ve been until i heard of what a flash back is with this things, so yea i almost died as well as anyone within like 100 feet. So now im trying to learn as much as i can about these things and all saftey precautions to take and how these things happen, because i will be getting my own torch one day since i “love” working on rusty cars, gotta love Michigan.

So what does it do? Looks like it cuts.

It absolutely cuts! The MasterGraph Katana MGK excels among other CNC cutting machines in its class mainly due to the use of our Katana HMI controller. This upgrade modernizes the CNC interface, enabling more complex and precise cutting patterns and easy integration of additional software to support optional equipment packages. When combined with the incorporation of powerful Yaskawa drives and motors, the MGK can execute advanced cutting techniques, like intricate bevel cuts and countersinking with our 3D-X Full Contour Plasma Bevel Head. Since plasma cutting is a highlight of this machine, we provide a variety of plasma systems, including Hypertherm's latest XPR460. This system is further enhanced by our company's True Hole certification, allowing us to offer even more precise cutting options. However, if you prefer oxy-fuel, our machine accommodates both methods and can support up to eight torches on the pneumatic slave carriage, all effortlessly controlled through the Katana HMI. If you'd like any more information on the MasterGraph Katana MGK, our cutting team would love to connect with you! You can contact us here: www.koike.com/contact-us/

I was mentored welding and acetylene torch, at a brick manufacturing plant. I spent 23 years learning the trade, and never once in all of that time did the company purchase or install flashback arrestors. I did start my own business( portable welding service) after 10 years of learning and I had an incident where a rebuilt acetylene regulator failed and allowed too much pressure to the hose. While I was cutting, my hand drifted down the torch and I felt a ball in the hose the size of a golf ball. The regulator failed and there could have been a catastrophic explosion right in my hand. I have since then installed the arrestors on all of my torches.
@Comm0ut4 ай бұрын
Odd that a pressure rise would make a ball which is normally an internal hose delamination issue since pressure rise over the volume of a hose is even not localized. Sounds like it found a weak point in the hose when the regulator failed. While oxygen regulators have a blowoff valve fuel gas regulators cannot for obvious reasons so failure sends pressure downstream.

Just got a full torch setup. No one at the welding shop said anything about flashback arrestors? Thats sad. Thanks for the safety tips I'm ordering them now. I work with old school "pro" welders and i ask them simple questions about what they are doing when running the torch like what length of feathers they like to run? The 1 guy looks at me barks thats some beginners sh!t fuk off. Later as i watch him flame out by bumping the torch tip like 30 times and the torch keeps popping and whistling. I walk over to the bottles and all the fittings are loose the hoses the regulators every thing is loose and leaking in a shop with the big bottles. I think the big door being open saved us all that day and maybe the wind?+ me the noob can hear that torch is not right and I go check it before it had a chance to explode>but the big pants Texas 40 year pro told me that's noob sh!t stupid. He almost killed us all. I will never forget that and will always question safety even if some cocky Texan thinks he knows it all. Listen to your gut. My gut tells me every welder I have met from Texas is a prick.

The first time I had a bad flashback with a rosebud, I was a 18 year old apprentice, and it burned back, popped like a rifle shot, and sent the fat part of the torch tip flying across the shop where it smacked the wall. And for that reason, I won't let anyone stand close to me when using a rosebud. That chunk of brass flying left a significant mark in the concrete wall it struck. That would have definitely been a workman's comp claim if it had hit someone

I just got a torch set at an auction cheap, needed new hose. Came with an old dockson and victor model wands. I got new hose and got a set of backflow stop/arrestors at harbor freight that screw on the torch side. If i stop it there i don't see reason to put on the tank side too unless you set the hose on fire.

Been a mechanic for 20 years. Never wore leather gloves just rubber. Used a torch and the fittings were loose and were shooting out flames. I was on a ladder and could not throw the torch off. I got a nice burn on my hand. Was lucky it was not worse. I was pretty pissed off someone did not tighten the fittings. But it was my fault I did not wear proper gloves.

Good post. Rubber gloves are for wrenching. Welding gloves are for welding and mine NEVER touch oil until they're condemned from welding use.

Just had a situation where I touched a rosebud tip to an axe head I want to heat treat and it popped once. Torch seemed fine for a few seconds but then it started sounding like a machine gun was going off in my garage. Still not sure if it was caused by me touching the tip to the metal. The tips looked clean, but I will definitely have to see if there are arrestors on the acetylene set I bought.
