.At ambient temperatures below −55 C (235 F), readjustment of gas/air pressure regulator may be necessary (see Section 4-12).

Use only clean, dry air with 90 to 120 psi (621 to 827 kPa) pressure. Prevent moisture from entering air supply at extreme cold temperatures.

Mild Steel Thickness(inches)

 

The cutting speed curve shows the recommended maximum cutting speed capabilities of the power source and torch for mild steel of various thickness.

The best cut quality is achieved by cutting near the chart line. Cutting below the line (too slow) will result in excess dross. Cutting above the line (too fast) will cause blowback and lack of penetration.
