Question

Which of the following is a key characteristic of a low-pressure blowpipe/torch in welding?

A.

It requires an external pump to supply acetylene gas.

B.

It directly mixes acetylene and oxygen in equal proportions.

C.

It uses high-pressure oxygen to create a vacuum for acetylene suction.

D.

It operates only with high-pressure acetylene cylinders.

Correct option is C

A low-pressure blowpipe (injector type torch) operates by using high-pressure oxygen, which passes through a small nozzle creating a vacuum effect (Venturi effect). This vacuum draws acetylene gas into the mixing chamber.
This design is useful when acetylene is supplied at low pressure. It does not require equal mixing or high-pressure acetylene cylinders.
