a complete flame or a blue flame
A pilot light flame should be about 90 percent blue. Flecks of orange are okay but if the flame is yellow, large, and flickering the pilot light may need an adjustment.
The flame that stays continuously lit is called the pilot light. There is also an eternal flame that burns in certain cemeteries.
NO
Pilot gas is the very small flow/burner used to maintain an ignition flame in a gas appliance. Sometimes called a pilot light, or pilot flame, it's used to ignite the main burner.
It should be around 20 millivolts while operating in a flame.
At pilot light, where pilot light flame goes directly onto thermo coupler.
No. The pilot valve is closed when no flame is sensed by the thermocouple.
If holding the controls in the LIGHT position for about 15-30 seconds does not keep your pilot lit, there is probably a problem with the thermocouple. That is the small tube that the pilot flame touches. Be sure it is not bent, and being missed by the pilot flame. They do go bad, and require replacement.
A gas furnace pilot flame stays burning by receiving a constant flow of gas from the pilot light assembly. The pilot light assembly contains a thermocouple that detects the presence of the pilot flame. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple signals the gas valve to shut off, preventing any gas leaks.
It is called a pilot light.
The type of flame is just a normal flame
