[Sca-cooks] OT - Conversion question

It the tire is a 4X8 or 4 X 10 the pressure should be 30 psig.
As far as the tanks go you will need to get them pressure tested before
filling.  I always exchange my tanks .  This way I know that I will have a
tank that has been pressure tested and have a good valve. Now the rest of
your welding outfit is suspect.  The diaphragms in the regulators need to be
replaced periodically.  The hoses will be shot. So just cut the ends off and
toss them.  Harbor freight sells new hose for a fair price.  The regulators
need to checked out by a repair station that has the equipment to repair
them.

Be safe in what you do.

I bought a cart for my pair of oxy-acetylene welding tanks, inherited  
from my dad, yesterday. Being a cheap Asian manufactured unit from  
Harbor Freight, the documentation is ... slim.

The tires on the cart say "inflate to 350 KSa". I'm familiar with PSI  
(Pounds per Square Inch) and my bicycle pump also has a kilograms per  
square centimeter scale. But what is this "KSa"? And how much is this  
in either of the other two scales?

The tanks date from the late 50s or early 60s as does the welding  
setup. After buying the cart, I sure hope I can get still get the  
tanks inspected and filled. They were last filled and inspected in  
1973. I know they radically changed propane tanks a few years ago.

And hopefully Stefan can avoid any "Drakey" adventures with this new  
rig. :-)
