Press Release Summary = After cutting torch, oxy-gasoline welding torch has been
developed by a company with a brand name oPetrol. Will oxy-gasoline torches
terminate the history of acetylene welding torch?

Press Release Body = Beijing, China, oPetrol, a Chinese manufacturer, has developed
oxy-gasoline welding torch after their cutting torches and blowing torches, a
revolutionary product that gives the hope to terminate the role of acetylene in
flame process.

"oPetrol oxy-gasoline cutting torch system works extraordinarily. Compared to
cutting torches, welding torches are much more difficult to develop. That is because
of the strong oxidizing nature of oxy-gasoline flame. Said Flora Miao, the president
of oPetrol.

"The problem is, without welding torch, the product line is not complete and in many
occasions users will have to keep the heavy and hazardous acetylene cylinder merely
for welding usage. " (Flora Miao.)

"Our present version of welding torch is ideal for brazing and joining of
non-ferrous metals. It may braze weld steel too. But it can not do steel fusion
welding as an acetylene torch.

" We are trying to make the oxy-gasoline welding torch catch up with acetylene torch
in its steel welding features. We are sure it is possible.

Oxy-acetylene welding has been practiced for over a century. The mixture of oxygen
and acetylene is used as it has been the only gas combination with enough heat to
weld steel.

Despite the fact that in most industrial applications oxy-acetylene welding has
given place to electrical welding, acetylene is still preferred by users in the
field of maintenance, reparation and some other applications.

Acetylene has been used in steel welding and other heat treat process for a century.
Acetylene is very hazardous and energy costly. It is also notorious for its
pollution.

Attempts to find a better fuel to replace acetylene have been made in many countries
for nearly a century.

oPetrol has successfully developed cutting torches and blowing torch. It also has
torches for CNC cutting machines and will develop torches for diversified
applications.

The development of oxy-gasoline welding torch is aiming at totally substituting
gasoline for acetylene in its most popular cutting and welding applications.
