February 4, 200818 yr Does anyone know what size holes to drill in a piece of pipe to make a burner using lp gas. This is not for a forge it's for a heating tank.
February 17, 200818 yr Manual pressure control or regulated? If it is a manual control use 1/16th inch holes, if it is regulated you need to know the water coulumn pressure you are running at and the desired BTU output to arrive at the orifice sizes.
February 17, 200818 yr Burner BuildingBurner ChoicesGas Facts : Infomation about fuel gases of specific note When building a gas forge, the flame front velocity must be maintained to keep the flame out of the burner. In an atmospheric forge this requires a properly designed venturi and a nozzle to raise the gas/air velocity above the flame front velocity.[/b'] In a fan driven forge the fan must produce enough air (volume and pressure) to maintain this velocity. Reducing the outlet slightly (a nozzle) can help prevent flash back by raising the velocity. The size of the fire chamber and resulting back pressure require a balance between it and the burner. Anti-flashback screens put in carburettors and explosion proof nautical devices prevent the flame front from passing through by creating barrier of both slightly higher velocity at the screen and a low velocity oxidized gas barrier near one surface. change gas forge to burning a gas change (in bold) from properly designed to throughly tested :p
