FLAME STRAIGHTENING FLAME STRAIGHTENING – THE OPTIMAL PROCESS TECHNOLOGY TO ELIMINATE WORKPIECE DISTORTION FLAME STRAIGHTENING: Flame straightening is a quick and gentle way to eliminate the transverse-longitudinal shrinkage and angular distortion caused by welding. Flame straightening is a proven production method in welding companies. The procedure is easy to use. However, the prerequisite is a good qualification of the employees. HEATING EFFECT DURING FLAME STRAIGHTENING 1. Local sharply limited heating Heating shuold be fast, heat accumulation must be achieved. The temperature level depends...

FLAME STRAIGHTENING FLAME STRAIGHTENING – THE OPTIMAL PROCESS TECHNOLOGY TO ELIMINATE WORKPIECE DISTORTION PRACTICAL EXECUTION Depending on the part to be straightened, the heat is introduced in different heat figures. HEATING POINT e.g. straightening of thin sheets or tubes The heat point should be kept as small as possible. Straighten from the clamping to the middle of the sheet metal field. HEAT OVAL e.g. pipe straightening The heat oval is heated through and arranged in the longitudinal direction of the pipe axis. HEAT LINE - HEAT POINTS e.g. straighten a one-sided weld The plastic area must...

FLAME STRAIGHTENING FLAME STRAIGHTENING – THE OPTIMAL PROCESS TECHNOLOGY TO ELIMINATE WORKPIECE DISTORTION DEVICE SELECTION The flame straightening torch is selected according to application and workpiece thickness. ONE-FLAME TORCH OF A NORMAL WELDING EQUIPMENT It is the most common torch for straightening with heat spots, lines, wedges or oval-shaped. MULTI-FLAME TORCH It is used for straightening with thermal screeds, wedges and ovals on workpieces from about 20 mm wall thickness. SPECIAL TORCH It is designed in form and performance for the respective flame straightening task and is used, for...

FLAME STRAIGHTENING PRODUCTS FOR FLAME STRAIGHTENING PRESSURE CONTROL PANEL BU 13AC Pressure Control Panel BU13AC GASSUPPLY Due to the high heat output of flame straightening torches, an appropriately dimensioned gas supply is of great importance for safe working and optimum results. A fuel gas cylinder is no longer sufficient from a torch size of only size 6. In this case either a second fuel gas cylinder, which is connected by means of a multiple distributor, or a cylinder bundle is required. Pressure Control Panel BU13AC Characteristics:  Acetylene-pressure control panels for high flow rates...

FLAME STRAIGHTENING PRODUCTS FOR FLAME STRAIGHTENING PRESSURE CONTROL PANEL BU 13 AC Flow rates BU13AC: The withdrawal rate should not exceed approx. 0.5 Nm³/h per cylinder in permanent operation, so no solvent from the cylinder will enter the withdrawal system. However, the flow rate may be increased to approx. 1m³/h for brief peak loads.  on request  picture may differ  subject t
