Agriculture, Food and Natural Resource Standards
Addressed!

• PST.01.02. Apply physical science and engineering
  principles to design, implement and improve safe
  and efficient mechanical systems in AFNR
  situations.
• PST.01.02.02.a. Identify the tools, machines and
  equipment needed to construct and/or fabricate a
  project in AFNR.

5
Acetylene Regulator

• Used to reduce the high acetylene cylinder
  pressure to a workable constant prssure. Hose
  and cylinder connections are left handed threads.

6
Brazing Rod

• Used as a filler rod when braze welding. May or
  may not be flux coated.

7
Copper Coated Mild Steel Welding Rod

• Used as a filler rod for mild steel oxy-fuel
  welding. The copper coating prevents rusting

8
Cutting Torch Tip

• Used with a cutting torch handle when oxy-fuel
  cutting. The tip size is determined by the
  thickness of the metal.

9
Cutting Torch

• Used with the cutting tip when oxy fuel cutting
  steel.

11
Electrode

• A coated metal wire used for shielded metal-arc
  welding a variety of metals.

12
Electrode Holder

• Used to mechanically hold the electrode while
  conducting current from the electrode lead.

14
Flashback Arrestor

• Used to limit damage from a flashback by allowing
  the gases to flow in only one direction,
  preventing the flame from burning back into the
  equipment.

15
Friction Lighter

• Used to light torchs for cutting and welding.
  Safer than using matches or a lighter.

16
Ground Clamp

• Used to connect the ground lead (cable) to the
  work. This provides a completed electrical
  circuit.

Inert Gas Regulator

• Regulates shielding gases such as argon, helium
  and carbon dioxide. Used for MIG and TIG
  welding.

20
Leather Gloves

• Used to protect the hands from the ultraviolet
  rays and spatter of hot metal.

21

24
MIG Welding Gun

• Used to deliver the wire and shielding gas to the
  weld surface.

25
MIG Wire

• Used as filler wire for the MIG welding process.
  May be bare wire or flux cored.

26
MIG Nozzle Gel

• Coating applied to lubricate the welding wire and
  tip for smoother wire flow during the welding
  process and cut down on splatter.

27
Oxygen Regulator

• Used to reduce the high oxygen cylinder pressure
  to a workable constant pressure. Hose and
  cylinder connections are right-handed threads.

28
Pipe Cutting Guide

• A variety of different types of guides that clamp
  around pipe to aid in cutting angles etc. Pipe
  cutting guides are available in a variety of
  sizes.

31
Porcelain Gas Cup

• Non-metallic cup that directs the flow of
  shielding gases when TIG welding.

32
Protective Leather, sleeves, apron or coat

• Used to protect the body from harmful ultraviolet
  rays and hot molten spatter while welding.

33
Slag or Chipping Hammer

• Used for slag removal from shielded electrode
  weld.

34

35
Tip Cleaner

• Used to clean and partially recondition both
  welding and cutting tips.

36
Torch Handle

• Used to mix fuel gasses and oxygen in the correct
  proportions.

37
Tungsten Electrode

• Non-consumable electrode that generates the arc
  when TIG welding. Can be purchased in a variety
  of sizes.

39
Vise Grip Welding Clamp

• With its flat and U shaped jaws, it is used to
  clamp metals quickly.

40
Welding/Cutting Goggles

• Used to protect eyes from damaging light rays and
  heat rays that may prove destructive to eye
  tissue. Should not be used for arc welding.

41
Welding Helmet

• Used to protect the eyes and face from the
  harmful arc rays and molten spatter produced when
  arc welding.

42
Welding Tip

• Used for all types of oxy-fuel brazing and
  welding.

43
Wire Brush

• Used to prepare metal for welding or cutting.
  Removes slag or rust . May be used to clean parts
  of machinery.
