Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover oxy-acetylene or other oxy-fuel-gas torches
employed in operations such as
welding, brazing and heating.
A torch to be considered a "Gas Saver Type" under this specification
shall have an adjustable pilot
flame and a suitable means of turning a preadjusted setting of oxygen
and acetylene on and off as
required (or desired), by means of an operating lever, or other hand
operating medium, without
disturbing the setting of the valve adjusting screw.
These requirements are based upon records of tests and field
experience and are subject to revision
as further experience and investigation may show to be necessary or
desirable.
A device or product which complies to these requirements will not be
acceptable if upon production
tests, other features are found to impair the desired results.
