soldering with mapp/oxygen

Hello
In the face of the recent tragic accidents in Australia...
Is it (safe and) efficient to use mapp/oxygen for soldering of pipes of say up to 3/4 inch? If I bought a rothenberger torch said to be intended for use with "all conventional fuels" plus oxygen, how successfull I would be if I used it with mapp gas? I know the new mapps are sort of crap, also, acetylen/oxy flame with its intensity, the sort of CO2 hood around it, etc features cannot be beaten by anything, but still.

PS The in-air flame temperatures they quote for rothenberger gases are multigas 300 - 1900C, maxigas 400 - 2200C, mapp - 2400C.

This may be an expensive option for you, but worth it for the odd compressor change like I do, not worth it for someone brazing pipes in the field all day as the oxygen cylinder is $60 and only lasts 30min worth of brazing.
http://www.tesuco.com.au/Home/08_Oxy...ng_Set.pdf.pdf

I've used that set of oxy/MAPP for 3/4" and 5/8" no problems. Just as quick and hot as oxy-acet.
I bought it months ago for extra storage room in my ute compared to the room that oxy - acet and regulators and hose set takes up, and for the safety aspect.
Of course disposable oxy cylinders are expensive, and it is harder to light when it's windy (need very little MAPP pressure to get it going, it blows out at lot easier that acet when opening the oxy if you get it wrong or it's super windy, there is a reason why we use acet after all!

but worth it to keep it for unexpected small jobs or roof top jobs, and keep the oxy acet gear in a secured area in a shed, but carefully transport it for the bigger jobs, ie don't leave oxy - acet in the van as part of the furniture everyday fixture.

So the disposable turboset 200 cylinders won't cost you anything just to keep stocked in the van, and you can bill for their use if you need them on the spot.

I do almost everything with a turbo torch and disposable MAPP and that includes soft soldering 3" copper and brazing up to 3/4". I just picked up the dual tip that approaches the pipe at about 150deg angles which i hope will do 3/4" and 1" easily. I have a small acet tank but seldom take it anywhere.

Have a double barrel mapp turbo torch that has done 1 3/8" inside with no draught, and the single barrel turbo snake and rothenberger thing that will do 7/8" in similar conditions.

Is you have something big like a drier or comp then you can use two torches to get it hot then carry on with the one.

I tend to use them mostly for ac or liquid lines on ref, with the oxy kit for bigger pipes.

Thank you for sharing your experience! Is it truth or bluffs - the claims of the manufacturers that their torches are only intended to be used with their gases, and vice versa. Oxygen especially, for instance, is not it the same everywhere, essentially?

Most importantly, can "mapp's" be used in place of "maxigase's", in general?

Think the connections and different on different brands of disposable fuel gas and the oxygen cylinders also.

We have a oxy mapp set that uses refillable oxy bottles and disposable mapp ones, but not as portable as small set ups.

Do you think content plays no role?
I barely I can allow myself a tesuco , or a wortington mapp/oxy torch as I dont know whether the ballons would be sent. Allmost all here to us is rothenberger, but rothenberger does not produce mapp/oxy torches - for what reason, is unclear to me. (They do maxigas/oxy, but this gas is much cheaper and lower temperature, that is why my current interest)

Can you get the 500g mapp tanks like this?

http://www.londontools.co.uk/Rothenb...-Gas-453g.html

Dave has a set that uses mapp with normal refillable oxygen bottles like a big oxy acc set up, i could try and get some pics or a vid if you are interested.

Jon :)

I use a hobby oxygen cylinder from Adams gas and as a fuel gas I use a 3.7 kg propane cylinder when I'm using my clocks and shank. I have used propane on its own with a 1 1/4" Bullfinch blowlamp attachment when working inside, but outside when its windy its a different story. I have braized up to 7/8" with it, and I just begrudge paying unnecessary charges to BOC for dreamt up charges. I would rather pay a one of fee and get the cylinder recharged when its empty, especially for the amount of use it gets. I used to have a BOC oxy cylinder that a friend use to fill for me when it was empty, but he lost his decanting hose.

All fuel gasses can be dangerous when they're being used and when they're being stored, especially in the back of the van. I never understood what they tell you on the pipework and brazing course regarding an acetylene cylinder. That an acetylene cylinder should be left for at least 1/2 hour in an upright position when its been laid flat to let the liquid drain back down into the cylinder?

I actually possess an FJTP1 C&G welding certficate back from 1982, but they still said I had to do the assessment, despite knowing more about joining metals than the assessor.

I was sure there was a thread standard that was used on the tanks like the rothenberger mappgas. I do know that the tips are all proprietary so you can't put an acet tip on a mapp handle or a Turbotorch tip on a Goss handle. with my turbotorch i buy from 6-8 different brands of tanks, depending what is available.

just a health ans safety tip- mapp gas is carcinogenic!! be safe out there

The product is stable.
Conditions to avoid: Stable as mixed; however, contains unstable materials
(methylacetylene and propadiene). Weathering off (evaporation of light components)
may allow concentration of the methylacetylene and propadiene to reach concentrations
which would make mixture unstable on heating. Avoid heating of mixture or venting of
lights that could cause lighter materials to weather off(evaporate).
Extremely reactive or incompatible with oxidizing agents.
Reactive with metals.
|Additionally, avoid contact with acetylide-forming metals (copper,silver and mercury).
Copper alloys (such as brass) containing sixty six percent (66%) or more of copper
should not be exposed to MAPD.
May Occur.
Conditions to Avoid: Elevated tempertures and pressures. Polymerization catalysts,
such as metal alkyls, can cause uncontrolled polymerization. Contamination with oxygen
can cause propadiene to form hazardous peroxides.
INHIBITORS/STABILIZERS
An ihibitor is added to the MAPD mixture to prevent potential unstable peroxide
formation. Butanes (iso and/or normal) are also added to the MAPD mixture to prevent
potential concentration of the methylacetylene and propadiene from reaching
concentration levels that would render the mixture unstable in case of weathering off
(evaporation of light components).
Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products should
not be produced.

Can you get the 500g mapp tanks like this?

http://www.londontools.co.uk/Rothenb...-Gas-453g.html

Dave has a set that uses mapp with normal refillable oxygen bottles like a big oxy acc set up, i could try and get some pics or a vid if you are interested.

If that rothenberger mapp has 7/16 inch connection, then, yes, they are obtainable to us. What is Dave? (such variant would be very nice for me - ideally with some 2l refillable oxygen bottle)

Dave is my business partner :D

The set is sold by a local wholesaler but i can't find a picture or link to it.

Will take some pics next time i'm working with Dave!


IM, thats the old methylaccypropy mapp gas, new MappPro is in fact propylene,

http://www.nationalref.com/PDF%27s/M...PP_pro_Gas.pdf

Jon :)

Monkey spanners, if you get the link, please, post it here (although I doubt they would send the kit to the other end of EU).

Install, what has always been striking to me : why many profi welders are smokers? I hope once a week or even a month using the mapp could not turn to be harmfull.
