HOW TO GAS WELD WITH TURBO SET 90
With gas welding always work methodically : before starting a weld
ensure that the parent metal in the weld area is cleaned and free from
grease, oil, paint, rust and scale. Ensure you've a good supply of gases
and filler materials and flux's suitable for the job.
Before applying heat to the parts, make sure they are properly-positioned
and braced to remain in proper alignment. Once you've complete your
joint, it will need to be cleaned, as Flux residues are chemically corrosive
and may weaken the joint if not completely removed.
The power of the flame is governed by the size of tip used and these vary
according to thickness, melting points and heat conductivity. The TURBO
SET 90 has five size nozzles available.
The power is measured by the number of litres per minute of fuel gas
that is consumable with a perfect flame. Too lower pressure gives too
short cone, which may cause a lack of weld penetration and fusion, it can
also cause frequent back firing. On the other hand too higher pressure
can give a long cone and cause overheating and a lack of control of the
molten metal.
Three different types of flame can be made via varying proportions of
gas:
THE CARBURIZING FLAME
This is a flame in which an excess of fuel gas is burning, i.e. combustion
is incomplete and unconsumed carbon is present. This kind of flame is
generally not good for welding steel as the unconsumed carbon could be
introduced to the weld and create a hard embrittled weld.
THE NEUTRAL FLAME
As the supply of oxygen to the torch is increased, the flame contacts and
the white cone become more clearly defined, assuming a definite rounded
shape. At this stage approx equal quantities of fuel gas and oxygen are
being used and combustion is complete. The flame is now neutral and this
type of flame is the one most extensively used for welding.
THE OXIDISING FLAME
A further increase in oxygen will produce the oxidising flame, in which
there is more oxygen than is required for complete combustion. In this
case excessive sparking will occur.
A BACK FIRE can often occur if :
- the gas pressure is too low
- touching the plate or weld pool
- loose nozzle
- over heating
- a metal particle gets into the nozzle.
The fault can normally be rectified with no damage.

1. GAS SUPPLY
The TURBO SET is fuelled with an oxygen cylinder (T-PED approval π
0036) and with a 7/16" Maxy Gas cartridge (complying with EN 417:
2003) cartridge.
We recommend using the WIGAM cylinders and cartridges.
ATTENTION: the oxygen cylinders and the gas cartridges of TURBO SET
are not rechargeable.
i
CAUTIONS
- The use of other cylinders or cartridges may be dangerous
- Do not connect cylinders or cartridges before you have read the
instruction on them.

2. PUTTING INTO SERVICE

2.1 INSERTING OR CHANGING CYLINDERS OR CARTRIDGES
- Put the two squares (4) on the trolley for bottles in correspondence
with the relevant cylinder or the gas cartridge.
- Insert the cylinder or the cartridge into their housing passing the
valves through the hole of the squares.
- Block the squares screwing manually the wingsnuts on the screws.
- Make sure that the adjusting knobs on the pressure reducer Mignon
and on the gas valve (5 and 6) and on the torch (8 and 9) are closed
(for Mignon : clockwise = open, anticlockwise = close; for gas tap :
clockwise = close, anticlockwise = open).
- Screw the oxygen pressure reducer and the gas valve on the relevant
cylinder and cartridge, paying attention that there are no leaks (see
5.2).
- The threads are diversified to avoid mistakes in coupling
cylinder to pressure reducer Mignon and cartridge to gas
valve.
i
CAUTIONS
- Changing or inserting cylinders or cartridges must be performed
in a well ventilated area, preferably outdoors and away from
inflammable materials or substances, from glowing sources of
heat (such as naked flames, lit cigarettes, electrical rings, etc.)
and far away from persons and animals.
- Make sure the cylinder or the cartridge is empty before
changing it. Do not let you be deceived by the weight of the
oxygen cylinder, because it is the same also when the cylinder
is empty.
- Do not use the TURBO SET 90 if the gaskets (10) are damaged or
missing.
- Control that the oxygen and gas hoses with connections (11a
and 11b) are not damaged.

on any component of the equipment
4. STORAGE
- In case the TURBO SET should not be used for a long time or in
case of transport by a motor vehicle, unscrew the cylinders and the
cartridges from the respective pressure reducer and gas valve. This
will let you have the greatest guarantee to find the content of the
cylinder and of the cartridges intact even much time later, avoiding
the possibility of little and almost imperceptible leaks, even though
all their valves are provided with guaranteed seal.
- Put away the TURBO SET in a protective packaging (if possible in the
original one) and keep it in a cool, dry and well ventilated place.
i
CAUTIONS
