Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to cutting, welding, and heating devices and, more particularly, to cutting torches with flashback arrestors.
  • a conventional cutting torch first generates a preheat flame with gases discharged from the nozzle, and the preheat flame is used to heat a metal workpiece. After the preheat flame has heated the workpiece sufficiently, a high velocity cutting oxygen stream is activated and delivered through the nozzle. The high velocity cutting oxygen stream physically removes molten material of the workpiece by oxidation, to cut the workpiece.
  • a number of valves and related components are provided upstream of the nozzle, such as in the control body, to control the operations of the cutting torch.
  • Previous approaches for addressing flashback include the use of a sintered material within the torch to be used at the entry point of the gases into the torch. Although this stops the flashback from traveling upstream from the components that supply the gas to the torch, it disadvantageously does not eliminate the effects of flashback within the torch itself. As a result, the torch can still be damaged or the operator can be injured by flashback within the torch.
  • packing material may be installed into the head of a torch or in a tube that is immediately upstream from the head for arresting flashback.
  • this packing material may become damaged, such as by becoming clogged with carbon deposits resulting from flashback.
  • the packing material must be periodically replaced.
  • the removal and replacement of packing material in cutting torches is labor intensive. Additionally, and of significant safety importance, if the packing material is not properly packed it may not perform its intended function, which can result in damage to the torch or injury to its operator.
  • a check valve may be installed in each of the oxygen and fuel passageways to allow the oxygen and the fuel to flow in one direction, while preventing the reverse flow.
  • Check valves are mechanical devices that may become unreliable when contaminated with dirt or debris, which can cause the check valve to leak. Moreover, the check valves cannot prevent flashback flame from propagating upstream once flashback occurs.
  • a flashback arrestor downstream of the head of a cutting torch for restricting flashback into the torch head there is a need in the art for a flashback arrestor downstream of the head of a cutting torch for restricting flashback into the torch head, and which can be readily used and replaced in a manner that is likely to ensure satisfactory functionality of the flashback arrestor.
