Acetylene Gas - in a Variety of Sizes
About Acetylene Industrial Use
Acetylene is supplied dissolved under pressure in acetone; a colourless, flammable, explosive gas. It is used as a fuel in welding and cutting metals. When Acetylene is burned with pure oxygen, it produces very high temperatures. Oxy-Acetylene torches burn mixtures of acetylene gas and oxygen which produces a flame hot enough to cut or weld steel.
Hazards
- Extremely flammable, may form an explosive mixture with air.
- Unstable and decomposes violently under the effect of heat or pressure.
- Forms explosive acetylides in combination with copper, silver or mercury.
Precautions
- Acetylene usage pressure must not exceed 150kpa.
- Install flash back arrestors on all cutting equipment.
- Store in a well-ventilated area, away from oxygen-carrying materials.
