There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Why are welding hoses colored?

They can carry different gasses and a welder can tell them apart without lifting his visor.


What is the difference between pipe and hoses?

Generally a hose is flexible and a pipe is not. I was laying pipe in your girlfriend last night... whereas she and her friends are hose. I hope that helps.


Why is it a disadvantage for hydraulic systems to have flexible tubes?

If the hoses ("tubes") expand, the pressure available at the working device will be lower, reducing the force available. Also, if the hoses are moving around because they are flexible, they are more likely to get worn or damaged.


Arc welding can you use it on a car ok?

It is done all the time. I would strongly suggest you disconnect and remove the battery. You do have to stay away from or protect hoses and tubes, like the fuel lines, fuel return lines, and brake lines. It's probably good to connect the ground clamp as near as possible to the welding location. If you are anywhere near sensitive electronics, like the car's computer, you probably should remove them to prevent ground currents from causing damage. Other items that deserve healthy respect are the air bag crash sensors, of which there will be several under the car.


Can you use same hoses both for pneumatic and hydraulic?

not quite, it depends on the pressure of system, but hydraulic tends to be high or could be very high pressure, and pneumatic is often lower pressure. the low grade rated pressure hose/ pipe would fail and burst/ causing injury.

What is the difference between the left and the right strut assemblies on a 1995 Ford Escort LX if any?

From what I recall the only visible difference is the mounting brackets for brake hoses and the hub/disc assy. Oh, and they have different part numbers....


Is welding equipment fireproof?

No. Cables for electric welders, and hoses for gas torches are fire RESISTANT, but can be burned. Care should be taken to shield them from direct flame, and spatters of molten metal.


What are the Oxygen-acetylene welding equipments?

Oxygen tank, Acetylene tank, regulators for each tank, hoses, a torch, and a striker. Check valves are also a good idea if they're not already installed.


How do you disconnect the heater coil hoses?

Loosen the clamps and carefully twist the hose where it connects to the heater core. If you are wanting to bypass the heater core, just run one of the hoses between the two places on the motor where they connect or put a short piece of pipe between the two hoses.


What causes radiator hoses to collapse?

Radiator hoses can collapse due to a restriction in the cooling system, such as a blocked radiator or thermostat. This restriction causes a vacuum to form in the hoses, leading them to collapse under the pressure difference. Additionally, weakened or deteriorating hoses can also collapse over time due to the force of the coolant flowing through them.

What is the difference of gas and hydraulic hoses and can you use hydralic hose in oxygen gas?

Gas hoses are typically designed for transferring gases like propane or natural gas, while hydraulic hoses are designed for transmitting hydraulic fluids under high pressure. Hydraulic hoses are not suitable for use with oxygen gas as they may not be compatible with the oxygen, leading to a risk of combustion or explosion. It is important to use hoses specifically designed and rated for oxygen gas when working with it to ensure safety.
