How to make your own adjustable torch stand

2010-04-05T05:05:24Z

Smokey:

Some people have been looking for a "infinite axis torch stand" with out luck so I decided I'd post a way to make your own. First you need a bar clamp, then all you need to do is use a punch or drill to remove the pin holding the arm that is in a fixed position. Remove the arm, then remove the pin from below the adjustable arm, after that remove the handle that screws inward to clamp on what ever your working on. Now all you should have is the adjustable arm the spring and the bar. Then remove the base from your torch and place your torch stand on the bar where the pin that went into the fixed arm was located. Place the bolt through the stand and bar connecting the two, and tighten so the torch doesn't move around. Then bolt the adjustable arm to the bottom of your table (you can make this so you have it in a fixed position or add a couple of washers so you can rotate it). and your done. Now you have a adjustable torch stand that goes up and down rotates side to side and can be removed to be a hand torch.

Ecotoxicity: No data available. No information available.
Environmental: Aquatic Fate: Sorption and precipitation processes are effective in reducing the concn of dissolved silver and result in higher concn in the bed sediments than in the overlying waters. Sorption by manganese dioxide and precipitation with halides are probably the dominant controls on the mobility of silver in the aquatic environment.
Physical: Algae, daphnia, fresh water mussels, and fathead minnows were all found capable of accumulating silver; but the food chain was not an important route of silver accumulation for animals at higher tropic levels, suggesting no food chain magnification.
Other: For more information, see "HANDBOOK OF ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND EXPOSURE DATA."

Section 3 : HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Emergency Overview: Oxygen gas is colorless, odorless, non-toxic cryogenic liquid or colorless, odorless, oxidizing gas. Liquid releases will quickly vaporize to gas.
The chief physical hazard associated with releases of the gas is its oxidizing power which can greatly accelerate the burning rate for both common and exotic combustible materials. Emergency personnel must practice extreme caution when approaching oxygen releases because of the potential for intense fire.

The primary health hazard at atmospheric pressure is respiratory system irritation after exposure to high oxygen concentrations. Maintain oxygen levels in air above 19.5% and below 23.5%. While up to 50% oxygen can be breathed for more than 24 hours without adverse effects, high concentrations in open air accelerate combustion and increase the risk of fire and explosion of combustible or flammable materials.

Route of entry: Inhalation, skin and eye contact.

Effects of acute exposure
Eye contact: No adverse effects expected.

Skin contact: No adverse effects expected. .

Inhalation: May cause breathing difficulty.
Prolonged exposure to high oxygen levels (>75%) can cause central nervous system depression: signs/symptoms can include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, poor coordination, slowed reaction time, slurred speech, giddiness and unconsciousness.
May cause coughing and chest pain.
May cause lung damage.
May cause soreness of the throat.

Ingestion: Not a likely route of exposure.

Effects of chronic exposure: None known.

Reproductive effects: Oxygen deficiency during pregnancy has produced developmental abnormalities in humans and experimental animals.

Section 4 : FIRST AID MEASURES

Skin contact: None required.

Eye contact: None required.

Inhalation: RESCUERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE VICTIMS OF EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. At a minimum, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus should be worn.

Remove victim(s) to fresh air, as quickly as possible. If not breathing qualified personnel should administer artificial respiration. Get medical attention.

IKeep person warm and at rest.

Ingestion: No first aid should be needed.
Not considered a potential route of exposure.

Section 5 : FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Explosive power: Closed containers may rupture or explode due to pressure build-up when exposed to extreme heat.
Cylinders are equipped with temperature and pressure relief devices but may still rupture under fire conditions.

Section 6 : ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Leak/Spill: Evacuate all non-essential personnel.
Stop leak without risk.
Wear gloves and goggles
Use a self-contained breathing apparatus.

Ventilate area. Monitor the surrounding area for Oxygen level

Section 7 : HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling procedures and equipment: Protect system components against physical damage.
Use adequate ventilation.
Avoid inhalation.
Never work on a pressurized system.
If there is a leak, close the upstream valve, blow down the system by venting to a safe place, then repair the leak.

Storage requirements: Use storage containers, piping, valves and fittings designed for storage and distribution of Gaseous Oxygen. Protect cylinders against physical damage. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated, fireproof area, away from flammable materials and corrosive atmospheres. Store away from heat and ignition sources and out of direct sunlight. Do not store near elevators, corridors or loading docks. Do not allow area where cylinders are stored to exceed 52°C (125°F).
Move cylinders with a suitable hand-truck. Do not drag, slide or roll cylinders. Do not drop cylinders or permit them to strike each other. Secure cylinders firmly. Leave the valve protection cap in-place (where provided) until cylinder is placed into service and after it is taken out of service.

Use designated CGA fittings and other support equipment. Do not use adapters. Do not heat cylinder by any means to increase the discharge rate of the product from the cylinder. Use check valve or trap in discharge line to prevent hazardous backflow into the cylinder. Do not use oils or grease on gas-handling fittings or equipment.

After use, close main cylinder valve. Replace valve protection cap (where provided). Mark empty cylinders "EMPTY".

CAS #: The Chemical Abstract Service Number which uniquely identifies each constituent.

ACGIH - American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, a professional association which establishes exposure limits.

TLV - Threshold Limit Value - an airborne concentration of a substance which represents conditions under which it is generally believed that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed without adverse effect.

OSHA - U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

PEL - Permissible Exposure Limit - The same value as a TLV, except it is enforceable by OSHA.

IDLH - Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health - A concentration from which one can escape within 30-minutes without suffering permanent injury.

NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION:
Health Hazard Rating Scale (Blue):
0 (material that on exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible materials);
1 (materialsthat on exposure under fire conditions could cause irritation or minor residual injury);
2 (materials that on intense or continued exposure under fire conditions could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury);
3 (materials that can on short exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury);
4 (materials that under very short exposure could cause death or major residual injury). Flammability Hazard Rating Scale (Red):
0 (minimal hazard);
1 (materials that require substantial pre-heating before burning);
2 (combustible liquid or solids; liquids with a flash point of 38-93°C [100-200°F]);
3 (Class IB and IC flammable liquids with flash points below 38°C [100°F]);
4 (Class IA flammable liquids with flash points below 23°C [73°F] and boiling points below 38°C [100°F].
