Your right, I know the means to look it up, but I also value others experience too so thankyou for your reply.
so atm it may not seem economical, but I also am starting small so I can get experience myself and work out a good process that I can scale eventually. I was going to build my own large forge, but as I mentioned I want to work out the process first in a hands on way.
so for the stoichiometric ratio, starting with the blower I was going to measure the air velocity and take the diameter of the pipe which would give me the 2 variables I need to get the air flow rate via this formula. Qair = uair * π. D2/4. then take 21% of that to get the amount of oxygen moving through the pipe. then convert the PSI measurement from my control valve on the propane tank, convert it to flow rate as well to get the the other variable. with 2 of the same units of measurement (cubic feet per minute) I can dial what I need from there. that would be my first approach.
as for the logistics of it, I'm not too concerned about it until I get more experience to create a better process that works for me. Also I don't plan on making money now, but plan on the future of changing market conditions, which they will and I'm a patient man
thankyou for the reply,
I live in the US in good ol TN. sorry for the typo though there was meant to be a g there so kg.
is there a chart you know of that relates the metals reactivity to oxygen at specific temps? so that i can gage what is good measurement for the amount of flux I would need for a certain material.
