Product Description
Acetylene is used as a fuel gas for oxy-acetylene welding, cutting, general localised heating, flame hardening, flame cleaning to remove rust from steel, spalling concrete, and other processes requiring a high temperature flame. Steel, stainless steel, aluminium and wrought iron are recommended for use with acetylene.
Product Information
Acetylene is the best and most versatile fuel gas for welding, straightening, bending, forming, hardening, cutting or tempering. It is the hottest flame temperature when compared to MAPP gas, propylene and propane and natural gas. Specially purified instrument grade acetylene which has impurities removed is used in atomic absorption, analytical instrumentation and navigational beacons. A low flame moisture content makes it a good choice for many critical heating processes. It also requires the least amount of oxygen to ensure complete combustion.
Please be advised that if you don't have an empty bottle additional maintenance fees will be charged.
HAZARDS:
- An asphyxiant with anaesthetic properties
- Forms an explosive mixture with air
- Can form explosive acetylides with unalloyed copper, silver, mercury, brass containing more than 66% copper, and brazing materials containing copper and silver
- Can spontaneously decompose within equipment and pipework under certain flow, temperature and pressure conditions
