Routine maintenance and testing of your welding equipment are essential for safe operation. This includes flashback arrestor testing and conducting regular oxy testing on gas systems to ensure they are functioning correctly. Regular maintenance reduces the risk of leaks, equipment malfunctions, and other potential hazards that could lead to accidents. It should always be taken note that testing flashback arrestors must be done at least once every six months or twelve months at most to ensure highest form of safety in welding.
