GAS TORCH SOLDERING IRON WITH
ADJUSTABLE: A TECHNICAL
FEASIBILITY STUDY
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Poor power supply can cause several
black out or power interruption.
Electricity tools or equipment cant be
used in this kind of situation.
When users are working in a dimly lit
setting.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To design and construct the soldering electronics
equipment;
To design and construct soldering iron powered by a
gas;
To design and construct a gas torch soldering iron with
adjustable light;
To develop the gas torch soldering iron with adjustable
light would be helpful in case of emergency like power
interruption.

To construct it out of locally available materials
To test and evaluate the performance of the
equipment through testing; and
To determine the cost of the development

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
To the student, it serves as a new project for the
electronics shop expose to a production type of
job that is similar in the field of technology
To the technician, to know the efficiency using
Gas Torch Soldering Iron other than the usual
soldering Iron
To the society, the use of Gas Torch Soldering
Iron is an option in case of electricity emergency



SCOPE AND LIMITATION
Focused on the design, construction, test and
evaluation of a Gas Torch Soldering Iron with
Adjustable Light.
Light limited only to the soldering in case of dark
operation can last at least 16 hours in use, because it
is only battery operated.
The availability of the equipment is reliable enough
when some unexpected situation arises.
It is technically feasible due to the fact that its design is
simple and construction is available in the market.

RELATED STUDIES
In the study conducted by, Esguerra, Dela Cruz, and
Bautistas (2006) study entitled A Improvised Rechargeable
Soldering Iron: A Technical Feasibility Study, the proponents
improved the iron to be rechargeable. It can power up using
charger and switch. On the other hand, Garcia and Nons
(2006) study entitled Digital Soldering Iron Controller with
Thermometer: A feasibility Study, produced a new design
equipped with a thermometer so it can control, if not totally,
cases of overheating.

SYNTHESIS
The related studies that says further was the
basis of the researcher. It is noticeable through
that nobody has attempted to produce a soldering
iron with built-in light source with it to make
soldering more convenient.
MATERIALS
Soldering tip- A hand tool consisting of a handle fixed to a
copper tip that is heated, electrically or in a flame, and used to
melt and apply solder.
Adjustment knob- controls the flow of gas.
Filter valve- Regulate the flow of gases
Orifice-also used to release the gas.
Panasonic ultra-heavy duty 9v- It is used as a source of
L.E.D light in the gas torch soldering iron.
L.E.D light 3v-are used in any place that needs a bright light

Battery holder- compartments that accepts a battery or
batteries.
Multi-fill adaptor- Serve as reloading station of the butane
gas fuel.
Gas Cylinder- Serve as storage of butane gas.
Solid Wire- use to hold the adjustable of the gas soldering
iron.
Shielded wires and Magnetic wire- use for the
connection of the battery holder and the LED light.
Soldering Torch-used to melt and apply solder
Gooseneck-. It is used to connect the cylinder gas to the
gas soldering iron.


TOOLS
Side cutting pliers- Pliers with cutting jaws at an angle
to the handles to permit cutting off wires close to
terminals.
Hack saw- A hacksaw is a fine-toothed saw, originally
and principally for cutting metal or plastic.
Screw driver- It serves to loosen and tightens screw.
Hand drill- a small portable drill held and operated by
hand. It used to drill tubes.
